Vaulted Weapons in Fortnite
Fire Trap
The Fire Trap made its way to Fortnite in Chapter 2, Season 4 as an uncommon trap. It fired fireballs that cause 50 damage on contact with a player. It could travel for three tiles but launched only when a player was in reach.
Scoped Assault Rifle
The uncommon and rare variants of the Scoped Assault Rifle are no longer a part of Fortnite. It boasted a 100% accuracy, and no recoil, but had slow mobility and inefficient close range.
Pump Shotgun
With a slightly wider spread than the Charge Shotgun, the Pump Shotgun was one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It dealt slow but extensive damage at close range.
Weapons finally coming back with the latest season
Tactical Shotgun
The Tactical Shotgun has a headshot multiplier of x1.5, and fires faster than the Pump Shotgun or the Charged Shotgun. Over the years, it has gone through a series of vaults and unvaults. Every variant of the Tactical Shotgun returns again with season 5 of Fortnite.
Double-Barrel Shotgun
The Legendary and Epic variants of the Double-Barrel Shotgun have also returned to Fortnite. Interestingly, the spawn rate for the weapon is as low as 1.53%.
P90
The Sub-Machine guns in Fortnite have a significant addition in the form of P90. It has a x1.75 headshot multiplier but lacks first shot accuracy.
