In Chapter 7 Season 4, Fortnite Battle Royale has gotten rid of all the weapons and movement items we had last season, swapping in a nice mix of old, returning weapons and entirely new ones. The only returning loot items are Overdrive Grenades and healing items–everything else is something that wasn’t in the game last season. That’s right, no more getting sniped from across the map by some kid with a grey Ranger Pistol.
The initial loot pool for Season 4 includes three new guns, the season’s new primary movement item, and a few really interesting new consumables. Let’s look at what we’ve got.
- 8-Bit Shotgun: This auto shotgun is a retro game console in gun form. It consumes game cartridges as ammo and keeps score as you use it during a match. It’s similar to the Maven Shotgun, but with better range.
- Mega Buster: Mega Man’s blaster fires explosive rounds that can be charged up, and it allows you to do a slide dash move while you’re wielding it, as long as you have stamina.
- Midas’ Masterpiece: This pistol will kill anyone with a single headshot, but there’s only one in each match.
- God Mode Llama: A consumable that makes you invincible and allows you to destroy objects by sprinting through them, but you can’t use weapons in that state.
- Tetris Rift: Similar to a Junk Rift, except it heals you if it lands on you, instead of causing damage.
- 1-Up Token: Lets you respawn with your inventory after you die, like a better version of the Kenny Token from the South Park event in January.
Beyond the above new items, Epic has unvaulted ten other past weapons. Almost all of these are from Fortnite’s early chapters, in keeping with the retro vibes, though we’ve also got the Oni Shotgun from Chapter 6 and the Tactical Pistol from Chapter 4. Check out the list below.
- Pump Shotgun
- Assault Rifle
- Ranger Assault Rifle
- Drum Gun
- Minigun
- Tactical Pistol
- Dual Pistols
- Oni Shotgun
- Flare Gun
- Bass Boost
Other items and weapons will be added to the loot pool over the course of the season, and Epic has already started teasing some of them. For example, the season trailer included a shot of Rebecca’s Guns from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which are dual assault rifles, as well as the Kingdom Key from Kingdom Hearts.
