December 8, 2023 Added the current list of available and unvaulted weapons as of the start of Chapter 5 Season 1.

What are the new Fortnite weapons? Another new chapter, another new island, and a whole bunch more mechanics alongside it. After the wild success of Season OG, it’s time to see what the future holds for the battle royale game, especially now that there are other experiences in the Fortnite platform taking the world by storm.

Once you’re done having a gander at the new Fortnite map, you should probably brush up on what Fortnite weapons are now available for the battle royale game.  This includes all the exotic weapons sold by Fortnite NPCs, and even some new items that can help you greatly when it comes to sprinting across the island towards safety.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 weapon attachments

New to Fortnite Chapter 5 are weapon attachments. Some weapons come pre-equipped, but others require you to find a workbench to upgrade them. You’ll have a range of different scopes, magazine clips, and more. Here are all the weapon attachments and how they affect your gun:

  • Holo-13 Optics – x1.3 magnification
  • P2X Optics – x2 magnification
  • Suppressor – reduces muzzle flash and dampens audio
  • Muzzle Brake – reduces recoil
  • Vertical Foregrip – reduces ADS (aim-down-sights) recoil and spread
  • Angled Foregrip – reduces ADS time
  • Speed Mag – decreases time it takes to reload.
  • Drum Mag – increases magazine size.

 

These are all the new Fortnite weapons in the game’s current arsenal, but more changes may come throughout the season. While you’re here, you may wish to get more free Fortnite V-bucks to buy this season’s battle pass. We also have the latest Fortnite tips to help you get your first win in the new season.
