New weapons for Fortnite Season 2 have been revealed, and they could shake up the meta via changes to close-quarters firefights.

On top of that, these returning weapons have been revised in some cases to suit the “Resistance” theme of the season.

The Drum Shotgun should give shotty fans an old favorite when they want to pack a heavy punch up close and personal. Meanwhile, the Scoped AR has been given a first-person ADS camera much like last season’s MK-7 Rifle. The Thermal Scout Sniper Rifle returns after a season away and should fit right in with the militia-heavy season. What’s going to be your go-to weapon this season?
