Chapter 5 Season 2 New Weapons
A variety of new weapons debut this season, each themed around and/or obtained from the various Greek deities that now roam the island. These include:
Thunderbolt of Zeus
This special weapon allows you to rise up into the air and throw lightning bolts at enemies. It has a maximum of 3 charges, with a cooldown between each use to prevent you from spamming. It can be found across the island, or is guaranteed to be obtained by defeating Zeus.
Gatekeeper Shotgun
This 3-burst shotgun is best at short range, dealing heavy damage to anyone caught its its crosshairs. To compensate, you'll need a full magazine reload in order to fire again. It can be found across the island, but the Mythic variant can only be obtained by defeating Cerberus.
Harbinger SMG
An incredibly potent SMG, it has high accuracy with the first few shots, but due to high recoil and bloom you'll lose accuracy the longer you fire. It can be found across the island, but the Mythic variant can only be obtained by defeating Hades.
Huntress DMR
This deadly DMR can help wipe out enemies from great distances, and can be found across the island. If you want the Mythic version however, you'll need to take down Zeus.
Warforged Assault Rifle
To make up for the high rate of fire and damage that this new AR can dish out, you'll have to contend with very strong recoil. It can be found across the island, but the Mythic variant can only be obtained by defeating Ares.
Wings of Icarus
The Wings of Icarus mythic item allows you to fly through the air and divebomb enemies below you. If you fly for too long, your wings will burn up and become unusable for a time, and should you sustain too much damage while flying you can crash land.
Returning Weapons from Season 1
The following weapons are returning from Chapter 5 Season 1:
- Hammer Pump Shotgun

Weapon Mods
The Thermal Scope and Speedgrip weapon mods arrive, with the former being able to attach to any scoped weapon, doubling the scope view and adding a thermal effect that can be toggled on or off. The Speedgrip mod will increase your movement speed while aiming with any weapon you attach it to.
These mods can be found at Mod Benches, which are now discovered in Weapon Bunkers. These will be opened up in the middle of the match, making the final firefights of each game even more intense.
