Fortnite Season 8 did not bring a whole lot of changes to the map and in fact, only a few places changed. Even the weapons have remained the same, but that doesn't mean that Epic doesn't have something up their sleeves. The Fortnite leakers have proven themselves once again and released many new weapons that will soon be coming to Fortnite.
Instead of releasing everything at once, Epic decided to spread things out a bit. Some internet sleuths noticed that the Battle Pass trailer included some new weapons, and now, of course, we're wondering where the heck they are. However, Fortnite leaker HYPEX shed some light on the matter and revealed that the weapons are already in the game files.Only recently, the mythical Carnage & Venom symbiotes were added to Fortnite. So we can assume that the other weapons will also appear in the game soon. Let's take a closer look at the leaked weapons.
List of all Leaked Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8
Dual Fiend Hunter Crossbow
A new crossbow is coming to the game! Officially called Dual Fiend Hunter Crossbow.Not many details about the weapon are known yet, except that it exists.Crossbows have never been particularly powerful in Fortnite in the past, but when bows appeared in Season 6 instead of snipers, they showed what they could do. Mostly one-shot players at high health with a well-placed headshot. Maybe they will be released to coincide with the next Fortnitemares event coming this October.
Combat Assault Rifle & Combat SMG
We already know the Combat Shotgun, and now apparently we will also get a Combat Assault Rifle and a Combat SMG! The weapons are apparently supposed to be slightly better variants of the weapons that are already in the game. The Combat AR will offer better accuracy when firing than the assault rifle, while the Combat SMG will even have a higher rate of fire than the P90. Just wow, faster?! The gun already explodes at the speed of light.
Sideways Scythe
According to speculations, the Sideways Scythe will most likely be added to the game sometime in October. According to the rumors so far, this item will be multifunctional and will have the following functions:
- Health Sucker
- Jump attack
- Sprint attack
- Slash attack
- Charge attack
This could become the most powerful weapon in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8, even more powerful than the mythical Carnage & Venom symbiotes.

Sideways Shotgun
Yes, another shotgun will also be coming to the game! Nothing is known about the Sideways Shotgun yet, unfortunately, but it too will likely become a weapon that you can only find in the Sideways realm. It is quite possible that a mythical version of this weapon will appear and who knows, maybe it will even be more powerful than the legendary Pumpgun. We will inform you as soon as there is new info.
Spicy Splash
While not exactly a weapon, it's way too cool not to mention. Similar to the Chug Splash you already know, this spicy version will be throwable, and you'll be able to heal yourself as well as your friends. The Spicy Splashes give you:
- 20 healing (no shield)
- Speed multiplier of 1.4 for 1 minute

Icy Grappler
The holiday season is approaching and as always, Epic Games has a few winter-themed items planned for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. According to HYPEX, a brand new movement item, "Icy Grappler," is coming to the game. Once equipped, the item will leave a freezing trail behind them that you can slip and slide on.
Other Item Rumors
Other items have been found in the files, but unfortunately, nothing more is known about them. Feel free to let us know on Facebook or Twitter what you think about the following items:
- Throwing Axe
- A larger flying animal that drops either a purple Scar or a purple SMG
- Saddle
New weapons are the best, and we look forward to ranking them once they are all revealed. For now, we have the Fortnite Season 8 Exotic & Legendary Weapon Locations to keep us busy.
