Fortnite is arguably the most popular battle royale title in the world. With its exciting chapter and season content, along with huge collaborations and captivating gameplay, this title has amassed a huge fanbase over the past seven years since its arrival.
However, the game sometimes feels dull for the players. It is becoming too competitive now for casual players. Also, the region lock cap is removed, and that’s why the situation might get worse. The players have other complaints as well regarding exotic weapons.

Whereas another fan wants the exotic SMG and Pistol to make a return in the game. However, there are significant bullet drops in these two guns, which can affect the DPS if fired beyond the range.
How to Get Mythic Weapons in the Ongoing Season of Fortnite?
The game might not feature exotic weapons anymore, but it still has mythic weapons in Chapter 5, Season 3. In order to gain access to these weapons, you have to complete some quests.
For example, to get the Cerberus’ Gatekeeper Shotgun, you have to defeat the Cerberus NPC at Grim Gate. If you beat Classy Courts’ Oscar, then you will get your hands on Oscar’s Frenzy Auto Shotgun.
Upon successfully claiming the flag on Loot Lake Island, you can get the Enhanced Hand Cannon. If you manage to beat the Ringmaster Scarr NPC at the Nitrodome as a part of the convoy, then you will get the Ringmaster Scarr’s Boom Bolt. Defeating Megalo Don in the Brutal Beached area or as part of a convoy will grant you both Nitro Fists and the Combat Shotgun.
Do you also miss exotic weapons in the game? Will Epic Games ever bring those back? Let us know in the comment section.
