Every season of Fortnite features a distinct set of Mythic weapons that are unleashed into Battle Royale for players to get their hands on and take the necessary steps to claim the Victory Royale. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 provides a handful of Mythics, all of which serve a grand purpose that will have players stomp the competition due to the advantage in both attachments and weapon stats.

Here is where players can find the Wasteland Warrior medallions in Fortnite.

For these Mythics, they are one-of-a-kind, meaning only one player of the 100 on the map can have them. Whether it's through greed or sheer power, players might want to seek out the best Mythic weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 to better the odds at that delightful win.

7 The Machinist's Combat Assault Rifle

Acquired By Eliminating The Machinist, Found at Redline Rig or Patrolling the Map

It's always a good idea to have a reliable weapon for medium and long-range combat, and the Combat Assault Rifle is a decent enough choice, but nothing game-changing. With a set of modifications and improved stats from the other varieties of Combat Assault Rifles, this variant will offer a good time, but there are superior Mythic options out there, especially when it comes to dealing damage at long range and close range.

Where the Combat Assault Rifle really shines is in its ability to negate recoil, as it's a very accurate gun, especially thanks to the vertical foregrip attachment built-in to the Machinist's exclusive version. Whilst it's good to have, it's not nearly enough to be essential.

6 Conductor Hand Cannon

Snipers have always been an infamous part of the loot pool, and those who play Chapter 5 Season 3 from the start might miss them, as they were vaulted. However, heavy bullets still have some use thanks to the Hand Cannons, and players can get an exclusive Mythic version of the Hand Cannon, which boasts of pre-modified attachments, as well as improved stats over lesser rarities.

Hand Cannons can easily become the new sniper thanks to their use of high-power bullets that can eliminate foes in a headshot or two. Provided, the range is not the best, but with the Holo-13 Optic, players might have a better chance when dealing with pesky players further away than what a mere assault rifle can reach.

5 Ringmaster Scarr's Boom Bolt

Acquired By Eliminating Ringmaster Scarr, Found at the Nitrodrome

The Boom Bolt is a useful explosive tool that can cling to targets for devastating impact. Not only is the splash damage pretty reasonable, but a direct hit is going to hurt. Players can easily take out structures and groups of players with this Mythic version of the Boom Bolt, but it's also great for damaging vehicles, as their health is significantly higher than in previous seasons.

Ringmaster Scarr brings a Mythic Boom Bolt to the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 party, so here's exactly how to beat her and take the grand weapon.

Vehicles are a bit of an issue in Chapter 5 Season 3 thanks to their deadly firepower and health, so a Mythic Boom Bolt could aid players who want to throw these vehicles off track with an explosive, or several. The aim might need to be precise, but with a drum mag attached, there are plenty of bullets to go around.

4 Oscar's Frenzy Auto Shotgun

Beat Oscar in a Duel at Classy Courts

This infamous Mythic Frenzy Auto Shotgun first appeared in Chapter 5 Season 1. With the beginning of Chapter 5 Season 3, Frenzy Auto Shotguns were vaulted, making this variant the only version of the weapon to appear in the game, and it certainly is a weapon worth fighting for, as the fire rate is high, the damage and range is intense. The use of a drum mag for even more bullets before reloading is truly overkill.

If players are seeking a shotgun where their precision and accuracy are not essential, then this is the one for them, as they can easily destroy their foes with the abundance of shells available from the drum mag, and the superior stats to other slower shotguns makes Oscar's Mythic a powerhouse.

3 Cerberus' Gatekeeper Shotgun

Beat Cerberus in a Duel at Grim Gate

In Chapter 5 Season 2, there was one powerful weapon that players should fear, and that was Cerberus' Gatekeeper Shotgun. With 3 bullets in a magazine, players could easily kill others with these three fast-firing hits, and even a headshot and standard hit to the chest would do the job just fine. The stats are great, and the reload time is incredible too, thanks to the use of a Speed Mag weapon mod.

Whilst this shotgun might not be the best for every player, due to its reliance on accuracy, it's certainly one that proves skill matters in Fortnite, as a fast-firing, hard-hitting shotgun with limited ammunition, turns the tide of war in this post-apocalyptic season.

2 Megalo Don's Combat Shotgun

Acquired By Eliminating Megalo Don, Found at Brutal Beachhead or Patrolling the Map

Combat Shotguns have always been a powerhouse, an addition to Fortnite that is always welcomed by some, and hated by others for its amazing potential. The Combat Shotgun has an excellent range, and the damage drop-off is truly incredible for players who are looking to pick off their targets with this gun at a further range than other shotguns. Add a Mythic rarity to the mix, and the damage and fire rate makes its potential even better.

Fortnite: How to Beat Megalo Don

Megalo Don is a fierce opponent in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3's Battle Royale map, and those brave enough to battle him will find powerful riches.

Megalo Don's Combat Shotgun is incredible, even if players do not like using first-person sights with their shotguns, it's hard to deny the great power from the barrel of this fast-firing weapon. From far distances, players can easily reach 80 damage per shot, making it a consistent hard-hitting weapon with great recoil control.

1 Megalo Don's Nitro Fists

Acquired By Eliminating Megalo Don, Found at Brutal Beachhead or Patrolling the Map

Nitro Fists are not only great fun, but they are also greatly powerful. Nitro Fists can deal a lot of damage to opponents, at the risk of being within melee range. Yet, players can make these Nitro Fists even better with Megalo Don's Mythic Nitro Fists, allowing a total of 5 charges instead of 4. Whilst Mythic and Legendary variants recharge at the same rate, the additional charge makes for a great way to traverse the map and use the uppercut and air punch.

Whether players are fighting with shotguns or combat assault rifles, whoever wields the Nitro Fists, is probably going to win. The damage potential is great, and they can easily panic opponents, no matter if they hide behind builds or try to run.
