In Chapter 5 Season 2, there are five Mythic weapons for players to loot, each possessing unique abilities and powers. Here are all the Mythic weapons in Chapter 5 Season 2.

5 Thunderbolt of Zeus

Hurls a Series of Thunderbolts to Smite Foes

fortnite thunderbolt of zeus
  • Damage: 40 (First two bolts), 80 (Final bolt)
  • Charges: 3

The Thunderbolt of Zeus is a ranged Mythic item that hurls a series of lightning bolts at targets, dealing devastating damage. The first two bolts deal a damage of 40, while the final bolt deals a damage of 80. To obtain the Thunderbolt of Zeus in Fortnite, defeat Zeus himself or loot chests across the map. When players activate the Thunderbolt of Zeus, they’re suspended in the air for a short period as they hurl lightning bolts at their target.

Note that the Thunderbolt of Zeus hurls three lightning bolts when activated, with a cooldown of eight seconds between each bolt. Unfortunately, when suspended in the air, players are vulnerable to attacks, giving enemies ample time to fire and take them down. To take full advantage of the Thunderbolt of Zeus, players must be highly accurate and ensure their lightning bolts hit the opponent. We recommend using the Thunderbolt of Zeus on high ground.

4 Zeus’ Huntress DMR

A Fully Automatic Long-range Weapon

  • Fire Rate: 1.46

Zeus’ Huntress DMR is a Mythic long-range weapon with a fully automatic fire rate. The marksman rifle fills the gap for players seeking a sniper rifle to eliminate enemies at long range. The rifle uses medium bullets and has prefixed mods that players can’t remove. These mods include a sniper optic, a speed mag, an angled foregrip, and a muzzle brake. All these mods work to reduce ADS speed, increase reload speed, and reduce recoil.

Players must challenge and defeat Ares at the Brawler's Battleground POI to obtain the Ares’ Warforged Assault Rifle.
