All New Weapons And Items In Fortnite Chapter 3

Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 is here, and that means so too is a new loot pool. More than just a remixed pile of guns and items up for grabs, the new Fortnite Chapter 3 means brand-new guns, healing items, and more are available for players on the new island of Artemis. Here's what to expect for new weapons and items when you drop in.

Fortnite Chapter 3 - New Weapons

There are several new weapons on Artemis, including at least one designed by The Seven themselves. Here they are by name, as well as what kind of features they have.

• 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 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 MK-7 is overpowered at launch and likely to be nerfed.

That should result in a new meta during the course of the season--though we don't yet know what Epic has planned for patches.
