Fortnite brings players various types of weapons and items every season. With that in mind, there will be items and weapons that will be removed or replaced by something new. The latest Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 did just that. Here is a breakdown of every item and weapon removed in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.
Vaulted Items & Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
The Chapter 5 Season 2 of Fortnite ended on May 24, 2024. For the next season, the theme of Fortnite has shifted from Mythological to a desert-themed map. Consequently, it makes sense to remove certain weapons and items that no longer fit this new theme. This includes weapons associated with the Avatar and Star Wars themes, which also do not align with the desert setting.
Take a look at the list below to see which items and weapons we'll be saying goodbye to this season.
