Fortnite Chapter 4 is here, and in its inaugural season, a new roster of weapons has arrived for you to pick up and hopefully lead to victory. While some items from this season’s loot pool return from previous seasons and chapters, each new Fortnite chapter has also introduced brand new never-before-seen items and weapons. Chapter 4 continues this tradition. Here’s a breakdown of all the new Fortnite guns and items in Chapter 4 Season 1, along with a look at what’s been shielded or unshielded.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Weapons
Fortnite is adding a ton of new weapons to the game with the launch of Chapter 4. You’ll find images and details for each one here, but let’s get familiar with their names first. Brand new weapons making their Fortnite debut include:
- ex-caliber rifle
- thunder shotgun
- Maven Automatic Shotgun
- Red-Eyes Assault Rifle
- Twin Mag Submachine Gun
- tactical gun

The ex-caliber rifle fires an explosive blade, which looks a bit like the Boom Sniper but decidedly sharper. The two shotguns should appeal to different playstyles. The Thunder works like a pumpy and fires two shots at once, while the Maven-Auto The variant is faster for players who like their shotties with a scary rate of fire.
The Red-Eyes Assault Rifle includes a red dot sight to aid in target acquisitions – let’s be honest, headshots and the Twin Mag Submachine Gun comes with an excellent rate of fire and massive clip size. I guess speed is the name of the game this season, because even the tactical gun is automatic and quick to empty, so take aim.
Time will tell which of these new weapons will become player favourites, but at least visually they’re all mesmerizing, with two of them appearing to come from The Seven’s personal arsenal. I guess some wars are still raging today, aren’t they?
