- Huntress DMR
- Gatekeeper Shotgun
- Harbinger SMG
- Warforged Assault Rifle

Thunderbolt of Zeus (Mythic)
Zeus is known for his thunderbolts and you'll be able to use them as a weapon in this season! Rise into the air and hurl lightning bolts at the enemy. Thunderbolt of Zeus has only three maximum charges with a cooldown between each one. If you wanna get this weapon pick it up across the Island or defeat Zeus himself.

Harbinger SMG
Hades is bringing the Harbinger SMG to the fight. It's really accurate, with dramatically increasing recoil, and boom the more you shoot. Similar to Zeus' weapon - either find the Harbinger across the island or obtain the Mythic version by taking down the king of the underworld himself.

Gatekeeper Shotgun
The Gatekeeper Shotgun was supposedly forged by Hephaestus for Cerberus, Hades' dog which is personified in Fortnite. It looks great because it can quickly fire three rounds. Use this shotgun for short-range combat and make use of its fast fire rate. The weapon can be found across the Island, but you can get the Mythic variant only by defeating Cerberus.

Huntress DMR
This weapon is named after the goddess of hunting - Artemis. Huntess DMR is amazing for long-range attacks. We can see it in the trailer and it looks really good so far.

Warforged Assault Rifle
You know the gun of the god of war needs to be something special. This powerful Assault Rifle belongs to Ares and it stands out with high damage, high rate of fire, and strong recoil. Like the rest of the weapons, you'll have to find it across the Island or defeat Ares for it.
Wings of Icarus (Mythic)
These wings allow you to fly and dive-bomb your enemies below. However, if you fly too long your wings will burn up, just like it happens in the Icarus myth. Taking a lot of damage will also cause you to crash, so keep that in mind.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is offering a lot of new content! Stay tuned as we go through all of it.
