Fortnite update today: Ranger shotgun and Xenomorph outfit unvaulted

Now we’ve all had time to settle into the new Fortnite season, the first update has come along to give us a little taste of what’s in store over the next couple of months. Our first unvaulted weapon has appeared and a crossover skin we haven’t seen in a long time has returned to the store for a limited time. On top of that, the October content for those with a Fortnite Crew subscription has been revealed.

We’ll let you know everything that’s coming with this update, and how you can get the most out of this new Fortnite content. If you’re yet to dive into this season, then check out our wrap-up of everything new in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

Ranger shotgun - Fortnite

With all the new/returning shotguns this season, it’s clear that Fortnite wants you to get up close and personal with your opponents. This shotgun is a fast and powerful one, with high damage and a very tight spread. The tradeoff is that it can only hold one shot at a time, so must be reloaded every time you fire. However, you can reload it while still aiming, meaning you’ll have more time to line your shots up in a tough firefight.

Xenomorph outfit - Fortnite

Fans of Alien and Fortnite are in luck, as the crossover skins are returning to the in-game store for the first time since April 2021. This includes an outfit for both the Xenomorph and Ripley, along with a bunch of Alien accessories.
