New Fortnite Season 8 weapons according to leaks

Skimming through the different trailers, players can figure out at least three new weapons arriving in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. Players can expect a new AR, SMG, and even a crossbow in the game. Additionally, there is another Sideways weapon being added to the list.

In the War Effort trailer, Epic Games revealed the arrival of the Combat AR and the Combat SMG. These weapons look visually appealing and could possibly be some of the most useful weapons in the game.

On top of the combat weapons, Fortnite Season 8 leaks also revealed the Fiend Hunter Crossbows that will be added to the game. Unlike the previous Crossbow, players will be able to dual wield this weapon, making it much more deadly and fun to use.

New Sideways weapons in Fortnite

At least two new Sideways weapons are coming to Fortnite. Players can already find the Sideways Rifle and the Minigun in the anomalies. However, after Epic Games vaulted the Tactical Shotgun in Season 8, the developers are planning to replace it with the Sideways shotgun.

Various Fortnite Season 8 leaks also hinted at the arrival of the Sideways Lightblade, which looks like one of the most exciting upcoming weapons in Fortnite. The estimated time of arrival of these weapons is still uncertain, but they might possibly arrive with the game's fourth anniversary update on September 26, 2021.
