Fortnite: Battle Royale (Windows, Mac OS X)/Unused Weapons

This is a sub-page of Fortnite: Battle Royale (Windows, Mac OS X).

Unused Weapons

There are a ton of test/old weapons in the files. Most of these are just Mythic weapons from old seasons (most of them got reused in the Arsenal LTM), collab weapons that don't work anymore (like Thanos's gauntlet and the Marvel superheroes' items), or scrapped/test weapons such as a Gnome Gun (that shoots gnomes), a Charge rocket, a Shotgod, "ElephantGarlic" (a weird device that shoots electric projectiles, apparently used for Battle Lab), and a Tinstack weapon, that functions similar to Fuse's Ultimate from Apex Legends.

Air Strike Laser

A explosive weapon that shoots down a raining airstrike on your opponents.

Backpack Minigun

A Rare minigun with no start up time, when shot it has no ammo cost and 100% accuracy when aiming.

Chain Grenade Launcher

Wierd launcher which shoots Chain Grenades. Uses the Proximity Grenade Launcher's Icon and model when dropped but uses the Grenade Launchers model when being fired.

Hammercrush

One of the multiple weapons planned for Battle Royale, but never made it in. The Hammercrush only has one shot and reloads incredibly fast compared to it's Save the World counterpart.

Monsoon

Another weapon planned for Battle Royale from Save the World. The Monsoon has 25 shots and no charge time compared to its Save the World counterpart.

Mystique's Dual Auto Pistols

A fast firing set of Pistols meant for the "Mystique" Outfit added in the v14.60 Update and removed in the v15.00 Update.

MK-Alpha Assault Rifle

There is an unused version of this rifle which has a different name.

Nailer

Another weapon planned for Battle Royale from Save the World. The Nailer has less recoil and a tighter bloom compared to it's Save the World counterpart.

Splinter Bow

An unused Battle Royale Bow. It was meant for the Alloy and Lara Croft LTM but is unfinished and never used.

Triple Tap

Yet another weapon planned for Battle Royale. The Triple Tap only seems to shot once, unlike the 3-round-burst that it's Save the World counterpart does.

WIP Mythic Red Dot AR

In the files exists a unused mythic MK-Seven Assault Rifle Identical to The Foundation's MK-Seven Assault Rifle.

Zap Zapp

Another planned Battle Royale weapon. The Zap Zapp has 1 shot, and uses Light Ammo instead of Energy Cells.

Unused Items

Multiple Backpacks

After the release of the v4.20 content update and the addition of the Jetpack, many other "Backpacks" were leaked.

Eye of the Storm Tracker

With the release of the v4.20 update, an unfinished item called the "Eye of the Storm Tracker" was added to the files, and subsequently mistakenly added to the loot pool in place of the Jetpack.

On the ground, the item had the appearance of the (then unreleased) "Skirmish" Back Bling, which was released along with the "Rose Team Leader" Outfit in Chapter 1: Season 5 as a reward for purchasing a Founder's Pack.

Upon picking up the item, it would replace the player's current Back Bling with the item, similar to how Jetpacks work.

In the inventory, the item used the icon for the (also then unreleased) "Vintage" Back Bling, which released in the Item Shop during Chapter 1: Season 5 as a part of the "Buckled" bundle.

The item would show where the next storm circle was on the map and mini-map as a yellow-tinted circle.

Noticing their mistake, the item was removed from the loot pool and replaced with the Jetpack within 30 minutes of the update releasing, making it one of the fastest item removals in Fortnite history.

The concept of the item was repurposed as the "Storm Scout Sniper Rifle", which was initially released in Chapter 1: Season 9. An Exotic version of the weapon released as the "Storm Scout" in Chapter 2: Season 5, functioning identically to its normal counterpart. Additionally, players were able to purchase the ability to see the next Storm circle from NPCs starting in Chapter 2: Season 5.

Medic Pack

An item named the "Medic Pack" was leaked in the same update. While the exact effect this item would have given is unknown, it was likely intended to give players the ability to self-revive and / or revive their teammates faster. Visually, the item appeared to be a semi-futuristic medical backpack. Unlike the Eye of the Storm Tracker, the item had no usable code attached to it, meaning it was very early in development.

Fire Extinguisher

Supposed to put out fires, but is broken. Movement is also broken entirely while holding it. It has been hacked into creative some time ago and it has a really big hitbox.
