The course of Fortnite Chapter 5 has changed, as a sandstorm has brought new challenges to Season 3. To put up a fight, you’re going to need a strong arsenal of weapons and luckily, updates have been made to the Fortnite loot pool to allow you to do just that.
As is the case with the launch of every new Fortnite season, there are fresh weapons, items returning from the vault, while others are tucked away back in the vault. As far as new additions go, there are plenty of exciting mythics, along with new ways to replenish your health.
