Weapons come and go in Fortnite constantly. Vaulting and unvaulting is just a part of the game at this point. When it comes to Chapter 2 Season 8, there are a handful of weapons players should expect at the beginning.


Top 5 weapons to expect in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

#5 - Drum Gun

The Drum Gun has had its ups and downs with the Fortnite player base. After it won the original unvaulting vote, it was vaulted yet again. This may not happen, but enough fans are asking for the Drum Gun to make a comeback. Epic Games may just listen to them.


#4 - A New SMG

This isn't confirmed, but it has been shared by some notable and reliable Fortnite leakers. To the right of the image in the tweet is what appears to be a new type of SMG or pistol. The safe bet is that it is some sort of SMG and may come with a potential post-apocalyptic theme for Season 8.


#3 - Monsters

There have been a ton of rumors regarding a new location known as The Sideways that will host all things creepy, from zombies to monsters. The monsters are said to be rideable, which could easily turn them into a giant weapon for players. They may be able to run over and crush others, take swipes, and who knows what else.


#2 - Kunai

With Naruto all but confirmed for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, the talk of kunai weapons and even exploding ones has ramped up. It will more than likely be a super rare item in-game, probably as a Mythic weapon. This is hands down one rumor that players should expect to come true.


#1 - Mad Max Weapon

WIth the above loading screen leaked for Fortnite, many fans believe a desert or even post-apocalyptic theme will be coming to Season 8. On the shoulder of the character, which may represent an upcoming Mad Max crossover, is an unknown weapon. Is it a shotgun or an assault rifle? Either way, this weapon will definitely find its place in the Battle Royale at some point.
