Fortnite has rolled out a fresh update that’s sure to get players fired up, as it introduces a slew of Exotic weapons to the game’s Black Market. In Fortnite, while combat is paramount, having access to potent weapons can significantly boost a player’s chances of survival. The latest update allows gamers to buy some of the most powerful arsenals, but it’s not cheap. Players will need to amass a good amount of Dill Bits if they wish to upgrade their weaponry.
Fortnite’s charm has always been in its constant evolution—thanks to collaborations and seasonal updates—but the catalog of weapons remains one of its standout features. Whether it’s the straightforwardness of a shotgun, the rapid fire of an SMG, or the mythical allure of fantasy swords and high-tech gauntlets, players are always eagerly anticipating the next addition. Recently, the game’s newest season packed with exciting features and weapons has changed the path players must take to obtain them.
Epic Games, in a recent announcement, unveiled how this update transforms the acquisition of Exotic weapons. Now part of the in-game Black Market, players are tasked with draining resources from Fletcher Kane by robbing his banks. Once this mission is conquered, players are welcomed into the Outlaw faction. Members are granted a keycard allowing access to secret rooms hidden within various Black Markets scattered throughout the island. The more quests one completes, the more their arsenal grows, featuring powerful upgrades, including the Trinity Assault Rifle and the innovative Pump & Dump Shotgun/SMG combo.
In the new update, a captivating Black Market-themed narrative unfolds. Players now have Exotic weapons like the Lawless Slap Cannon, which heals allies, and the Lawless Blink Pump & Dump, providing a dash of invisibility post-reload. Other intriguing gear includes the Stink Rifle, Shockwave Rocket Launcher, Trinity Assault Rifle, and the Heavy Impact Tracking Rifle designed with strategic advantages in mind.
As they provide access to the Black Market backrooms with Exotic weapons, these keycards come in several types, starting from Uncommon and moving up to Rare, Epic, and the top-tier Legendary. This ensures legendary items and Dill Bits drop from chests located in these secret areas.
The theme of high-stakes crime is at the heart of Chapter 6 Season 2, aptly titled “Lawless.” Since its February release, players have been delving into its offerings, with its constant evolution garnering excitement. The incorporation of a Black Market and fresh battle pass skins, including Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, has given the game a thrilling twist. This, alongside new destinations on the map like Crime City and Shiny Shafts, ensures Fortnite continues to be as dynamic and engaging as ever.
