New Chapter, new season, new island. That also means there will be a set of new weapons and items in Fortnite. Epic Games brings to us a brand new and never before seen set of weapons and items in this new chapter in Fortnite‘s life. Here’s everything you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 3's new weapons and items.
Fortnite Chapter 3 New Weapons
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 is taking a page from Chapter 2 Season 6’s book with the introduction of new weapons. Fortnite is usually known for introducing new weapons on a small scale level. This cycle ended when Fortnite’s Primal Season began as the game introduced a variety of new weapons to the player base. Fast forward to Chapter 3, another set of new weapons are currently in the game. Here’s a full list of all of Fortnite Chapter 3's new weapons:
- Ranger Assault Rifle: Built for medium to long-range fire, this is the new default AR in Chapter 3
- MK-7 Assault Rifle: Designed by The Seven and sporting a unique first-person red dot scope when aiming down sights
- Striker Pump Shotgun: A reimagined “pumpy” with high burst damage
- Auto Shotgun: Needs closer quarters than the pumpy, but makes up for it with a faster firing rate and improved reload time
- Sidearm Pistol: The new default pistol for Chapter 3, Season 1 with high headshot damage at close range
- Stinger SMG: A reliable short- to medium-range option when taking on players or their builds
- Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper: Fires three deadly shots per clip, and just one shot on-target can down players
The most notable gun on this list is the MK-7 Assault Rifle. This is due to the reason that this new weapon incorporates the first-person aim down red dot scope. This is a first for Fortnite to actually have another first-person aim-down sights weapon aside from the sniper. Honestly, the MK-7 feels like a gun straight from games like Call of Duty or Apex Legends. Most people are saying that gun is currently overpowered, so we can expect some nerfs soon.
Fortnite Chapter 3 New Items
Aside from all these new weapons, Chapter 3 brings us more excitement with the introduction of new items as well. Here’s a full list of all the new items in Fortnite Chapter 3:
- Med-Mist: A healing spray that can be applied while on the run, and it heals nearby allies as well
- Guzzle Juice: A slow-acting healing item that, if given enough time, will eventually return your health to its fullest
- Tents: A new inventory item that allows you to stash loot for later rounds
- Vaults: Locked loot caches that require at least two people to open, though the person with you need not be your squadmate–or even a human player
- Victory Crowns: A XP-boosting item bestowed to a round's best players, which makes them a high-value target for others
Having new items in Fortnite also means that players now have more options in how they play the game. All these new items serve as new ways for players to strategize their approach in battle.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 definitely did not disappoint the player base. There’s just a lot of content to explore and discover especially now that we have a new map. Adding in these new weapons and items to the mix, Fortnite has undoubtedly given us a breath of fresh air.
