On Feb. 18, Epic released the cinematic gameplay trailer for the new Fortnite season, Lawless, just a day after teasing what appears to be a Mammoth Pistol variant themed after Midas. You can watch the full trailer below—you m♛ight even catch some exciting new gameplay spoilers.

The return of the Sticky Grenade Launcher

At the 0:19 mark in the trailer, we get a clear look at a new character holding the Sticky Grenade Launcher. Players first saw this weapon in Chapter 4 Season 4 (August 2023), where it wreaked havoc due to its insane ability to demolish structures. It was nerfed in late September 2023, and if it’s making a comeback in Chapter 6, players will be hoping it’s the balanced version that returns.

Dual wield shotguns could debut in Fortnite

At 0:49, we see the player character holding two shotguns—one in each hand. This could be the first-ever dual-wield shotgun in Fortnite, finally making 🐭the double pump dream a reality in a single weapon.

That said, it would be fair to expect lower firepower per shot to comp𒁃ensate for a faster firing ra𒉰te—assuming it makes it into the final game.

An actual laser beam weapon?

At 𝓀0:53, a character inside a building fires a continuous laser beam during combat. While the player is taken down by the dual-wield shotguns, we can briefly see the beam hitting a ramp and destroying it.

This suggests it’s not just a laser sight but an actual damage-dealing laser beam weapon, which would be a first for Fortnite.

Is Thermite Coming to Fortnite?

At 0:55, Midas appears to blow up a wooden wall using thermite. A bit excessive for such a weak structure? Maybe. But if thermite is coming to Fortnite, it could add even more explosive power to a season that’s already bringing back the Sticky Grenade Launcher.

A deadlier train with turrets

The train is already a great feature, but at 1:05, we s𝓀ee turrets mounted on top. These stationary weapons could make train fights more intense than ever, adding mounted turret gameplay to moving comꦉbat.

While Epic rarely showcases features in a trailer without adding them to the game, these gameplay elements remain unconfirmed and could be subject to change. We’ll know for sure when Fortnite Chapter 6 Sﷺeason 2 officially launches on Feb. 21.
