Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 just dropped, and the weapon pool got a complete makeover. If you’ve jumped into a match recently, you’ve probably noticed you can’t find your usual go-to weapons anymore. That’s because Epic Games cleaned the house – they vaulted pretty much everything from Chapter 2 Remix and brought in a whole new set of weapons.
The good news? This new chapter has plenty of new weapons and POIs to try out. Let’s break down exactly what weapons you can use right now, what’s gone to the vault, and what’s back.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Weapons
A major gameplay change in Chapter 6 is that all weapons are now Hitscan, meaning there’s no bullet drop to account for when aiming. This makes combat more straightforward and potentially more accessible for newer players. The new season introduces seven primary weapons:
- Holo Twister Assault Rifle
- Fury Assault Rifle
- Veiled Precision SMG
- Surgefire SMG
- Sentinel Pump
- Twinfire Auto Shotgun
- Oni Shotgun
Special Equipment
Beyond traditional firearms, Chapter 6 brings some unique combat options:
- Typhoon Blade
- Fire Oni Mask
- Void Oni Mask
Fortnite Unvaulted Weapons
Several fan-favorite weapons have made their return:
- Lock On Pistol
- Rail Gun
- Kinetic Blade
- Suppressed Pistol
- Quad Launcher
- Ranger Assault Rifle
- Grapple Blade
- Hunting Rifle
Fortnite Vaulted Weapons
With Chapter 2 Remix concluding, many weapons have been sent to the vault. Here is a list of them:
Mythic and Special Weapons
Standard Weapons

That covers everything you need to know about weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. Take some time to test out the new weapons. Remember that Epic tends to adjust things throughout the season, so some of these weapons might get tweaked or swapped out.
