There are plenty of new Fortnite weapons to get your hands on in Season 2 of Chapter 6, as the battle royale island becomes Lawless. With a clear emphasis on cracking vaults and stealing loot, there are helpful Thermite explosives to blast open the heavy security doors and powerful weapons to damage their weakpoints to open them up more quickly. The Falcon Eye Sniper allows you to more easily target foes at a distance with three shots before you have to reload, while the Plasma Burst Laser will tear through anything in its path once it fully powers up. For the most powerful weapons, you should visit the Fortnite Black Markets once you're stocked up on Gold Bars or Dill Bits from Fortnite Dill Bit Display Cases.

There are also fresh utility items that can really give you an advantage in Fortnite, such as the Pulse Scanner that will reveal the locations of nearby Chests, containers, and (most importantly) enemies, while the Gold Splash provides some quick healing and add the Gold Rush effect so you can move faster and smash through ore in an instant. To help you understand exactly what has been added and removed from the loot pool, we've listed all the new, vaulted, and unvaulted weapons in Season 2 of Chapter 6 below.

With heists now firmly back on the table, there are plenty of Fortnite new weapons in Season 2 to help with cracking safes and taking down henchmen:

  • Collateral Damage Assault Rifle
  • Falcon Eye Sniper
  • Fletcher Kane's Double Down Pistol (defeat boss Fletcher Kane)
  • Plasma Burst Laser
  • Pump & Dump (dual-wield a Pump Shotgun and SMG) [launching with v34.10 update]
  • Rocket Drill [launching with v34.10 update]
  • Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit (ice slide into a powerful punch)
  • Thermite (used to crack open vaults)

In addition to those weapons, there are also some new utility items to give you a tactical advantage or help out in a pinch:

  • Gold Splash (recovers 20 Health or Shield and gives Gold Rush effect)
  • Med-Mist Grenade
  • Port-A-Cover
  • Pulse Scanner (detects enemies in range)

The following weapons have carried over from Season 1 so you can still pick them up in Season 2:

  • Holo Twister Assault Rifle
  • Sentinel Pump Shotgun
  • Twinfire Auto Shotgun
  • Veiled Precision SMG

Fortnite Lawless' focus on heists means that some of the previous items based on Demon Hunters no longer fit in, so here are the weapons that have been vaulted for Season 2:

  • Fury Assault Rifle
  • Hunting Rifle
  • Oni Shotgun
  • Surgefire SMG
  • Typhoon Blade

At the time of writing I am unaware of any Fortnite unvaulted weapons and items making a return for Season 2, as everything seems to be either new or rolled over from the previous season.
