There is no shortage of weapons in Fortnite, but if you want to secure victories and tick off Weekly Quests, Exotic Weapons are key—and we’ve got details on how to get them.
Exotic Weapons are the best tools for the job in Fortnite, whether you’re up against enemy players or the bug swarm, offering huge damage output and, in some cases, unique abilities. Unsurprisingly, this makes them rare and, in some cases, tricky to get your hands on.
There are some important details to remember, however, and we’ve got all the tips so you can get your hands on them.
Where to Find Exotic Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4
The best way to get Exotic Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is by opening O.X.R Bunkers, opening O.X.R Drop Pods, or defeating the Queen.
Four Exotic Weapons are available as random loot in O.X.R Bunkers, though you need to be Rank A to open them, while boasting Rank S+ allows you to open O.X.R Drop Pods.
O.X.R Ranks have replaced the Hero Ranks from last season, with experience provided in several ways. The best approach is to target the bug-themed themes of the season by destroying Bug Nests and Hive Stashes, as well as eliminating players.
If you’re up for a fight, the Queen provides a guaranteed Exotic Weapon when defeated, with the drop depending on the location where you defeat her.
The final way to get your hands on Exotic Weapons in Fortnite this season is by opening Rift Pods, which spawn late in matches.
All Exotic Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4
There are 11 Exotic Weapons available in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 at the time of writing, with four different ways to get them.
As mentioned, O.X.R Bunkers and O.X.R Drop Pods are an easy route, if your rank is high enough, with defeating the Queen another option. However, as she’s only available once per match, competition will be fierce.
