This article outlines everything you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 loot pool, including the new weapons and more!
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is just a few hours from launch. Dubbed "Super," the rumors are true. This season will revolve around superheroes. Considering this theme, the natural question is what kind of weapons and items the loot pool will offer.
This article outlines every new item in the new season, from weapons to sprites and everything in between. Here is your complete primer for the Chapter 6 Season 3 loot pool.
Hero Items are the newest addition to Fortnite's loot pool
Although we won't know which weapons, if any, have withstood the latest update, Epic Games has provided a comprehensive list of new weapons and items. Among the first batch we'll cover here, referred to as "Hero Items," the Bass Boost stands out in particular.
This item can destroy structures while damaging opponents and bouncing them backward. The Bass Boost can also launch you into the air using its secondary fire. It sounds versatile and fun, but also somewhat challenging to counter.
The other two items worth addressing in the first batch include the Killswitch Revolvers, which grant a dodge mechanic and activate "Hangtime" mid-air to improve accuracy. There's also a Tracking Visor, which serves as your ability to trace enemies.
Hero Items
- Killswitch Revolvers
- Tracking Visor
- Bass Boost
Some other Hero Items will enter the loot pool later this season, including the Surf Cube, Storm Beast's Pom Poms, and Myst Form:
Hero Items to arrive later this season
- Surf Cube (coming later this Season) - A surfboard used for mobility.
- Storm Beast’s Pom Poms (coming later this Season) - Turns you into a Storm Beast with high-damage attacks and a Storm Slam ability.
- Myst Form (coming later this Season) - Briefly transforms you into an invulnerable flock of shadowy ravens that can maneuver a short distance. Fuses together with Myst Gauntlets to become Ascended Myst, which has higher damage and longer-lasting invulnerability.
All new weapons and items in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
With the Hero Items cover, let's dig into what the general loot pool will offer. These include a Grapnel Gun, a dog treat, and a spread of new "Unstable" Exotic weapons. Firstly, let's address Robin's Grapnel Gun, of course, based on Batman's sidekick's presence in the season.
The blog post explicitly states that it functions similarly to the standard Grappler, but with significantly greater range. There's also the Krypto Treat, which exists as part of this season's Superman collaboration. This item allows you to toss one on the ground for Krypto to crash land and damage enemies nearby.
Below, we have provided a list of all the new weapons, including some brief descriptions, so you know what to expect:

All new Boons and Sprites explained
Boons and Sprites, which were introduced to begin Chapter 6 Season 1, are back with completely new options. These alone will reshape the way players approach the game, especially with the introduction of the Superman Sprite. The Boons specifically grant more benefits to those of a higher Hero Rank.
We have outlined each new Boon and Sprite with a brief description to give you a good idea of what each entails:
Boons
- Storm Caller Boon - Replenishes Shield while in Storm, depending on your Hero Rank. Also grants Storm Forecast at Rank S.
- Speed Healer Boon - Sprint while using healing items and gain Slap effect afterwards. The duration of Slap increases with each Hero Rank. Grants Slap effect immediately at Rank S.
- Combat Acrobat Boon - Parkour partially reloads your equipped weapon, and the amount reloaded goes up with each Hero Rank. Reloads all of your weapons at Rank S.

Sprites
