Epic Games released a major Fortnite update on Tuesday, shaking up the loot pool. The update brought nine new weapons to the game, most of which are available in the Black Market. On top of this, Epic adjusted the loot pool in competitive modes, vaulting and disabling several weapons.
In this article, we will take a detailed look at the new changes that arrived with the update. These changes are now live, although the game developer may decide to further adjust the loot pool in the future.
The latest Fortnite update brought big changes to the loot pool
On Tuesday, Epic Games added the Outlaw Shotgun, Pump & Dump, and Rocket Drill to Fortnite Battle Royale. On top of this, the game creator added numerous Exotic items that can be obtained in Black Market backrooms. These items are powerful, and this is what they all do.
| Exotic item | Description |
|---|---|
| Lawless Slap Cannon | Fire healing Slap at your allies to restore their Health and Shield |
| Lawless Blink Pump & Dump | Grants a few seconds of Zero Point Dash after reloading |
| Lawless Stink Rifle | Unleashes a stink cloud on impact |
| Lawless Shockwave Rocket Launcher | Fires a projectile that explodes to impulse anyone nearby |
| Lawless Trinity Assault Rifle | Fires four shots in a triangle pattern, at the cost of a decreased fire rate |
| Lawless Heavy Impact Tracking Rifle | Briefly reveals the location of players and Chests around the impact point of your shots |
Interestingly, Epic Games has disabled most of these Exotic items in competitive modes, leaving only the Lawless Trinity Assault Rifle and the Lawless Blink Pump & Dump available. Additionally, the Mammoth Pistol has been removed from the Black Market in Fortnite’s competitive modes, while the Sticky Grenade Launcher has been fully vaulted.
