Fortnite Reload is constantly getting new weapons as Epic Games tries to keep the game mode fresh. It is the most repetitive game mode in the entire game, as players respawn in-game and play on the same small map every single time.
To provide some variety, every once in a while, some items are vaulted and others are unvaulted. It’s also a chance for Epic to bring back popular items that aren’t in the main Battle Royale loot pool, which is what they’ve done this time.

Fortnite Reload Unvaults 5 Weapons
According to leaks, five weapons and one healing item have landed in the offshoot game mode. First, there are two fan-favorite shotguns back in the loot pool: the Heavy Shotgun and the Double Barrel Shotgun.
The Heavy Shotgun is a very old weapon, as it was featured heavily in Chapter 1. It served as a bridge between the Tactical and the Pump, merging the firing rate of the Tac with the firing power of the pump. The Double Barrel was more powerful than the pump, but it only had two shots before needing a reload.
The LMG and the Suppressed Sniper Rifle are also back. LMG’s have heavy bloom but a ton of bullets. Players can fire almost endlessly, though it’s not unlimited like a Minigun. The Light Machine Gun is also a weapon that was featured prominently in Chapter 1.
The Suppressed Sniper Rifle was also a fan-favorite, and it was a little less deadly but a lot quieter and safer to use than the standard bolt-action. Finally, an SMG is also returning to the loot pool. Those are the five weapons but Reload players can also enjoy a new healing item: Flowberry Fizz.
This item can be used to heal everyone in a small radius, and it gives them the low-gravity effect of a Flowberry from Chapter 5. You can use this for 100 shields before it expires. As long as everyone is in the same spot, everyone can get 100 shields. Keep in mind that this only applies to the Fortnite Reload loot pool.
