Star Wars season will only have blasters — regular weapons won’t return until Season 4

Epic Game announces Star Wars season will only have blasters.

It was Star Wars Day on May 4, and to celebrate the same, Epic Games announced a brand-new season themed around the Force. This latest season of Star Wars in Fortnite has announced replacing all standard guns with iconic blasters and lightsabers, shaking the foundation of the game and introducing some kickass arsenal and Galactic Battle.

Here is the list of weapons they revealed.

• 1x PISTOL: DL-44 Blaster
• 1x SMG: CR-2 Blaster
• 2x CLOSE RANGE: ACP & BARM-ST12 Scatter Blasters
• 1x MEDIUM RANGE: DLT-19 Blaster
• 1x LONG RANGE: IQA-11 Marksman Blaster
• 1x ALL-PURPOSE: A280-CFE Blaster

Epic Games shared all the details about the Galactic Battle before the season kicked off, and they also shared these weapons. This lineup included blasters, Thermal Detonators, and Lightsabers, without a single normal gun, promising fans a new and unique experience. But that's not all, as they plan to add more blasters as the season progresses.

Part of this unique experience includes the fact that you can only wield Star Wars-themed weapons when playing Battle Royale, as the Galactic Battle has gone live. Now, the blasters are quite powerful and basically work like standard guns without any bullets or ammo. However, according to players, it is kind of weird that they're the only weapon on the Island right now. But fancy weapons are not all that the gaming company added, as they've incorporated Starfighters and a bunch of familiar locations as well.

Here is a more detailed weapon plan and features

It depends now on Epic Games to see if they will add back the guns or make any other changes based on how the season progresses going forward, and if fans are not quite as happy. And apparently, Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 is a divisive season due to its focus on Star Wars.
