Clothes are great, but weapons are the most existing part of every new Fortnite season because they bring new tactical options to matches. Here’s a detailed breakdown of all vaulted, unvaulted and new weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.
All Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 new weapons
With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Absolute Doom, several new weapons have made their way to the game. This includes fan-favorite weapons like Striker Burst, Dual Micro SMGs, Doom’s Gauntlets, and Captain America’s shield. The following list contains all the new weapons in the current season.
- Dual Micro SMGs
- War Machine’s Arsenal and Shoulder Automatic Turret
- Monarch Pistol
- Bum Chess Shotgun
- Striker Burst
The Dual Micro SMGs are a new weapon introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4 of Fortnite. This weapon allows players to use two submachine guns simultaneously, increasing their firepower for close to mid-range combat. So it’s better to take the dual rapid fire SMGs to dominate close combat.
War Machine’s Arsenal is similar to a machine gun, boasting a massive magazine size for continuous fire and lethal damage. If you pair it with War Machine’s Auto Turret, it can provide covering fire and distract enemies while you rain down bullets.
Along with these deadly weapons, you can get your hands on the Striker Burst Rifle and Boom Shaka Shotgun to give your opponents a hard time. Finally, some weapons also have their mythical version that can be obtained by defeating certain bosses on the island.

Among all the weapons, the Shield of Captain America, the Arcane Gauntlets of Doom and the Striker Burst rifle are the most interesting. Captain America’s Shield is a special Mythic item that you can throw at enemies, dealing damage on impact. At the same time, Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets are similar to the Spider shooters, allowing you to shoot explosive green energy balls at enemies.
Finally, if you’ve played the Fortnite Season OG, then you’ll instantly recognize this iconic Striker Burst rifle. Fortunately, Epic has given a huge improvement to this weapon, which provides the ability to modify it with attachments, followed by increases in statistics such as firing rate and damage.

As you probably guessed, you’ll have to take down the new bosses to get them. There’s a small chance you’ll also find them in a land grab, but don’t count on it.
