IO and Alien weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7
Alien Weapons: Guide and Spawns
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has one alien weapon brought by the alien soldier Kymera. Kymera Ray Gun is an interesting weapon that uses energy ammo and has unlimited ammo. It also has low damage, ranging from 9-12 per hit, to balance the weapon. However, there is a cooldown period so that players don't take unnecessary advantage of the Ray Gun.
While players can find the Ray Gun in Fortnite chests and other loots, it also has a Mythic version called the Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun. Players can get the mythic version of the weapon by defeating Zyg, the boss, in an unnamed location between Slurpy Swamp and Misty Meadow.
IO weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7
Pulse Rifle: The Pulse Rifle is a precision AR used by the IO. It is similar to the Stark Industries rifle that appeared in one of the previous Fortnite seasons. The gun offers a fast rate of fire when players fire it from the hip with reduced accuracy. On the other hand, it becomes far more accurate when players aim down the sight. However, it has a slow rate of fire.
There is also a Mythic version of the Pulse Rifle offered by the Dr. Slone boss in the IO bunker.
While the normal version of the weapon can be gained from Fortnite loot, the Mythic version is only available by defeating the boss.
Recon Scanner: One of the most interesting weapons to have ever arrived in Fortnite is the Recon Scanner. While it doesn't deal any damage, the IO equipment is still a must-have weapon that gives players an advantage over their enemies.
The Recon Scanner fires a recon dart that reveals enemy locations in its radius. It also reveals any chests or other loot in the radius.
Rail Gun: The Rail Gun might arguably be the most powerful weapon in Fortnite right now. The IO weapon is a marksman rifle. It charges up in a few seconds and then fires a powerful shot that can even destroy structures in a single shot. In fact, the Fortnite weapon can deal damage to players even if they are hiding behind buildings. This, too, is available in chests or other loot.
