All vaulted, unvaulted & new weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Welcome to the Wasteland! You've been here before, remember?

Fortnite Battle Royale's latest season (Wrecked) brings with it a range of new items as well as unvaulted weapons. Chapter 5 Season 3 introduces a changed meta with a sandstorm that's bringing items fans may already be familiar with.

What is a vaulted weapon?

When a weapon in Fortnite Battle Royale is 'vaulted', it means that players no longer have access to them. This isn't a permanent change, as Epic Games tends to bring back vaulted weapons in future seasons, depending on the themes and community feedback.
