Fortnite’s Latest Update Introduces Exotic Weapons to the Black Market

A brand-new Fortnite update has arrived, introducing a Black Market system where players can unlock and purchase Exotic weapons. While combat remains the heart of Fortnite’s battle royale experience, obtaining powerful weapons can be the key to survival. Now, thanks to the latest update, players can expand their arsenal with some of the game's most powerful gear—for a price. To access these rare weapons, players will need to collect Dill Bits and work their way through the new Black Market mechanics.

Fortnite's Black Market: How It Works

Weapon variety has always been a major draw for Fortnite, with its mix of traditional firearms, futuristic gadgets, and mythical armaments keeping the gameplay fresh. The current season introduces a new way to acquire Exotic weapons through Fortnite’s underground Black Market.

According to Epic Games, players will need to drain Fletcher Kane’s resources by stealing Bars from his banks. Completing this quest grants membership to the Outlaw faction, along with a special keycard. These keycards unlock hidden Black Market backrooms across the island, where players can find a growing selection of Exotic weapons. As players progress through quests and upgrade their keycards, the range of weapons available will expand.

New Exotic Weapons in the Black Market Backrooms

Here’s a look at the Exotic weapons now available through Fortnite’s Black Market:

• Lawless Slap Cannon – Fires healing Slap at allies to restore Health and Shield.
• Lawless Blink Pump & Dump – Grants a few seconds of Zero Point Dash after reloading.
• Lawless Stink Rifle – Releases a stink cloud on impact, affecting nearby players.
• Lawless Shockwave Rocket Launcher – Fires a projectile that creates an impulse explosion.
• Lawless Trinity Assault Rifle – Fires four shots in a triangle pattern at the cost of reduced fire rate.
• Lawless Heavy Impact Tracking Rifle – Briefly reveals the location of players and chests near the impact point.

Once inside the Black Market backrooms, players can purchase these weapons using Dill Bits. The quality of weapons available depends on the tier of keycard a player holds:

• Uncommon Keycard – Entry-level access to basic items.
• Rare Keycard – Unlocks stronger gear.
• Epic Keycard – Increases the chance of high-tier items.
• Legendary Keycard – Guarantees Legendary weapon drops from Black Market chests, along with Dill Bits.

Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2: A Criminal Underworld Unleashed

If it wasn’t clear already, Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2 is all about crime and chaos. Officially titled "Lawless," the season introduces heist-themed mechanics, a Black Market economy, and new battle pass skins, including Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat.

Alongside the new Black Market feature, Fortnite's island has undergone significant map changes, with new points of interest like Crime City and Shiny Shafts. These updates, along with the addition of powerful new weapons like the Pump & Dump shotgun/SMG combo, make Chapter 6 Season 2 one of the most action-packed updates in recent Fortnite history.

With the Black Market now open, players have new ways to strategize, steal, and dominate the battlefield. Whether you’re gunning for Exotic weapons, unlocking Legendary keycards, or exploring the criminal underworld of Fortnite, there’s no shortage of thrills this season.
