Fortnite has undergone some major changes in 2018, one of which being the number of weapons and items the developer Epic Games has vaulted. For clarity, a vaulted item is one that was added to the battle royale game but later removed, with reasons varying from balancing the game to it not being used much by players. And now, thanks to Redditor KrystallAnn, we have a visual of every item added and vaulted in the game up to the time of this writing.
For some, this list can be considered a walk down memory lane, as very few players ever had any experience with the Zapotron, the very first weapon vaulted in the game (after being available for a short period). Others may be glad to see some Fortnite weapons vaulted, as some were unpopular decisions in the first place, such as the Infinity Blade.
But speaking of items being added, a recent Fortnite leak has suggested that a suppressed sniper rifle could soon be coming to the battle royale mode, though it will be much weaker than other sniper rifles in the game. It does come with the benefit of not giving away a player’s location, however. It’s also worth mentioning that the Save the World mode already has a suppressed sniper rifle, but it is not an incredibly popular weapon.
Whether that changes in the Battle Royale mode remains to be seen, but in the meantime, players have plenty to keep them busy. With the season 7 week 5 challenges recently going live, Fortnite season 7 is officially at the midway point, so players wanting to unlock that coveted Ice King skin need to be at the top of their game.
