While we may have listed all the new weapons and items above, it is still important to break down every new weapon added to the game.

Rocket Drill (coming soon)

The Rocket Drill has not been added to the game yet. However, it will be later this season. This weapon is great for drilling through builds, vaults, and players.

Collateral Damage Assault Rifle

A new Fortnite season would not be complete without a brand-new assault rifle. The Collateral Damage Assault Rifle is the game's newest addition to the assault rifle family and can be found littered throughout the island as floor loot and in chests.

Falcon Eye Sniper

The Falcon Eye Sniper will take out any player whose head gets in the way of this weapon's piercing bullet. Found throughout the island, this gun is not one you want to get hit by.

Outlaw Shotgun (coming soon)

The Outlaw Shotgun has not joined the game yet, but will be later on this season. Make sure to look out for it.

Pump & Dump (coming soon)

The Pump & Dump may not join the game until later in Season 2, but this weapon has already excited quite a few players. Known as a dual-wielding weapon, players will be able to hold a shotgun in one hand and an smg in the other.

And yes, it only takes up one weapon slot.

The Kneecapper

The Kneecapper is the final weapon being added to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless! This melee weapon is great for, well, taking out other players' knees.

You do not want to be on the reciving end of this weapon.

Med-Mist Grenade

The Med-Mist Grenade is the game's newest addition when it comes to health items. Throw this bad boy on the ground and the mist that erupts from it will heal you quickly.

Gold Splash

The newest splash item added to the game is the Gold Spash. When throw on a player, this item grants 20 health and Gold Rush. What's Gold Rush? This new ability gives players increased speed when running and swinging their pickaxe.

It also makes pickaxes do more damage to structures.
