As is tradition with Fortnite, a new season means new weapons and items. Fortnite continues to reinvent its weapon arsenal and grows stronger with each new season. Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 4, sees the return of many weapons and items, as well as the inclusion of brand-new ones to explore.

The loot pool in Fortnite always updates, whether it’s vaulting or unvaulting weapons and items or adding brand new and innovative designs. Chapter 3, Season 4 is no different from the long line of Fortnite genius, and many of the new inclusions fit perfectly within the “paradise” theme of chrome.

8 EvoChrome Burst Rifle

Around the Fortnite map, players will be able to find the EvoChrome Burst Rifle. It has a more unique design than other rifles in the game and fits well into the theme of the season. Chrome seeps around the weapon, and causing damage with it helps the gun to evolve into a better state without the use of gold and an upgrade bench.

The EvoChrome Burst Rifle deals an average amount of damage and is a two-round burst, making it a rather accurate weapon when it comes to battling other players. It should be used in medium-range battles, or long-range battles, due to its rate of fire making it an accurate choice for picking at opponents’ health.

7 EvoChrome Shotgun

Unlike other weapons in Fortnite, the EvoChrome Shotgun not only looks interesting, but it fires interesting too. The gun has a unique firing pattern, in which the weapon will fire in a horizontal line. This is a peculiar weapon spread for a shotgun and makes for an interesting weapon, but perhaps not the best of weapons.

The EvoChrome Shotgun can deal a moderate amount of damage, but for a shotgun, it is not all that impressive. There are some great shotguns in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 4, and the EvoChrome shotgun is not among the top, as it can be easily outclassed by shotguns like the Primal Shotgun.

6 Chrome Splash

One of the newest features to enter Fortnite is chrome. This material isn’t just a shiny display, but actually has effective use in gameplay. When players find a building coated in chrome, they can travel through the surface to pop out on the other side. Players can do this to any surface as long as they carry the portable Chrome Splash.

This new item coats whatever is splashed in chrome, and allows players to slip through buildings. Not only that, but Chrome Splash can also be thrown at players to coat them in chrome, and allow them to move at quick speeds to dodge bullets and dash away to evade elimination.

5 Port-A-Bunker

When Fortnite unveiled its No-Build mode, many fans were ecstatic at the idea of playing Fortnite without the need to build intense and intimidating structures just to survive a gun battle. The building is a divisive aspect amongst Fortnite’s player base due to the different skill levels involved, but No-Build players now have portable buildings that can be thrown like grenades.

Instead of the Port-A-Fort, players can now use the Port-A-Bunker, which is a small 1x1 room with stairs for a slight height advantage. This throwable item is new to the Fortnite season and deters foes if not for a brief moment.

4 Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper

This powerful and accurate sniper was introduced in Chapter 3, Season 1, and returns for Chapter 3, Season 4. The sniper may not be as strong and deadly as the Heavy Sniper Rifle, which has been vaulted, but the Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper still deals some devastating damage on an accurate headshot.

The Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper can be found throughout the map, but some players might not find it worth it. This is because the DMR, a rifle with more bullets and a better rate of fire, has a scope that can destroy players quicker than the Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper.

3 Rapid Fire SMG

Chapter 2, Season 3 saw the arrival of the Rapid Fire SMG. This small and versatile weapon has an extremely fast rate of fire, even for an SMG. This isn’t in the weapon’s best interest, as the rate of fire is so intense that the recoil can go berserk. The ammo count for the SMG also isn’t great, and it’s hard to kill a full health and shield character with the Rapid Fire SMG.

As a weapon that can be found almost anywhere on the map, from chests or random loot on the ground, the Rapid Fire SMG has an impressive headshot multiplayer of 1.75x. This makes for a high damage dropoff, but certainly not one of the best weapons in the game.

2 Lever Action Shotgun

Returning from Chapter 2, Season 5, the Lever Action Shotgun joins the roster of shotguns currently in the Fortnite meta. This is not the first season that the Lever Action Shotgun has returned for, and most certainly won’t be the last. The shotgun deals an impressive amount of damage for its rate of fire and has a cool reload animation to enjoy.

This close-range shotgun may fire slow, but thanks to its tightened aiming spread, and good damage, the Lever Action Shotgun can compete with some of the best guns in the game, but does not take the top spot for a shotgun, unless coolness counts.

1 Vault Keys

A collectible item that can be found in Chapter 3, Season 4, is the Vault Keys. These are rather important for players with a strong desire for good loot. Vault Keys can be used on Vaults that are found throughout locations on the Fortnite map, all in designated areas that do not change. Vault Keys allow players to open said vault without the need of all players present.

Vault Keys aren’t intensely rare, but the loot that can be unlocked with them is. Players will find a bounty of rare or higher weapons in the chests, rare chests, and supply drops waiting within the vaults, as well as gold for those that enjoy purchasing items from vending machines.

Fortnite is free-to-play on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
