There's a lot of new stuff coming to Fortnite's latest software update, giving it a whole new look in Chapter 2. This change is the biggest gamers have seen in a long time. There is a whole new map, mechanics, and many new challenges to complete in the game. With every good revamp, players will gain access to an array of new weapons in the game.
New Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Update
Veteran players will notice that many weapons are missing from the game. Epic Games took a handful of notable options, replacing them with updates or giving players new options for a variety of weapons. The Bandage Bazooka is a very useful weapon for the game. Using it, a teammate can choose to equip this large weapon and fire it at their allies. When they hit their partners, they will receive healing, giving a party member the ability to move around as the party's healer. Players don't always have to find this weapon, but when it appears, it can come in handy.

Yes, the bazooka works during solo matches. All players have to do is take aim and pull the trigger. It takes a bit of time to recharge the weapon's healing abilities, but if you're willing to wait, you can really help your team.
Here are the rest of the weapons currently in the game and what their rarities are to make it easier to find:
Common, Uncommon, and Uncommon Weapons
- Assault rifle
- Burst Assault Rifle (three shots)
- Gun
- Shotgun
- Submachine gun
- Sniper rifle (bolt action)
- tactical shotgun
Epic and legendary weapons
- Assault Rifle (looks like a scar)
- Burst Rifle (Looks like an AUG)
- Bazooka Bandage (heals yourself and allies, there is a charge on the weapon, no ammo)
- Pistol (looks like a modern version, with black coloring around it)
- Shotgun (looks like an advanced 12 gauge weapon)
- Submachine gun (looks like a P90, with green trim)
- Sniper Rifle (looks like last update, shoots more regularly)
These are the big weapons everyone is looking for in Fortnite Chapter 2 update. Epic Games went in a different direction with their harder to find items by giving them an updated skin. Players aren't going to find an epic or rare weapon with a less varied skin. These exclusive weapons only work for Violable and Golden items. This makes it easier for players to determine the type of weapon they are getting hit by another player.
The colors are still in play. The standard gray, green, blue, purple, and gold are all there. These updated skins just let everyone notice a difference visually.
We can expect this trend to continue in Chapter 2 and the other seasons.
