Auto Turrets
The Auto Turrets are part of War Machine’s Arsenal. As the name suggests, they are machine gun turrets that lock onto enemies. This weapon is great for whenever you find yourself fighting more than one person at a time, because it helps take some of the pressure off. It’s your little shooty buddy.
Captain America’s Shield
The shield can be used in two different ways. The first is throwing it at your enemies, because apparently you’re worthy of picking it up. Once you throw the shield, it’ll bounce off various objects and hit whatever is next to it before returning to you. The other use is the more traditional shield fare of blocking incoming damage.
Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets
Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets are similar to the Magneto Power from last season, in the sense that they throw projectiles at enemies. Its main attack lets you shoot arcane energy at enemies, but it’s mainly meant to be used in close quarters. Its secondary attack will launch you into the air and shoot a massive beam covering the immediate area.
Dual Micro SMGs
The Dual Micro SMGs are fairly simple to understand. As the name suggests, they’re two Micro SMGs that excel in close-quarter combat. But be careful, because it can be easy to blow through ammo.
Hover Jets
The Hover Jets are a part of the War Machine gear. These don’t inflict any type of damage at all. Instead, they allow you to fly up in the air for a short period of time, which is great for getting the upper hand on enemies when you’re trying to get the high ground.
Monarch Pistol
The Monarch Pistol is a weapon that Doom drops once he’s killed. The gun is a semi-automatic weapon. It can be used for mid-range fights and packs a big punch.
Sovereign Shotgun
The Sovereign Shotgun is a gun that Mysterio drops. Other than being a powerful shotgun, it’s nothing too special.
Striker Burst Assault Rifle
Emma Frost uses the Striker Burst Assault Rifle, another powerful weapon with no real twist, like the Sovereign Shotgun.
That’s everything you need to know about all the weapons brought into the latest season of Fortnite!
