Fortnite: Every Mythic Weapon in Chapter 5 Season 4, Ranked (2024)

Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom is set to be a doozy, and the Mythic weapons introduced are here to shake up the meta and create even more discourse than the overpowered vehicles of Chapter 5 Season 3. As players indulge in the power fantasies of iconic Marvel characters in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, they are going to face off or horde the incredible power of specific Mythics.

The best Mythic weapons in Fortnite often provide players with the arsenal to win a Victory Royale, and there are definitely a few shiny weapons that players should keep their eyes on to use themselves or run away from. If players want the best chance of winning in Fortnite, it’s a good time to look at every Absolute Doom Mythic weapon.

5 Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol

Effective at Close-Range but Lacks Speed and Recoil at Longer Distances

• Acquired by: Eliminate and loot Doombot in Castle Doom

The Monarch Pistol is an interesting addition to the loot pool, as it’s a pistol that has a different bout of damage and fire rate depending on whether players are aiming or hip-firing. Sure, the weapon looks cool, especially when it's held in just one hand casually, but that doesn’t make it extremely powerful.

The Doctor Doom Mythic Monarch Pistol is fully automatic when hip-firing, but the restrictions of a high fire rate and little control over aiming make for inconsistent attacks, especially against other stronger weapons at close range. The attachments also make it a tad more accurate for medium-range engagements, but the recoil kicks too hard.

4 Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets

Blast Enemies With Projectiles That Have Splash Damage

• Acquired by: Eliminate and loot Doombot in Castle Doom
• Arcane Blasts - 50 damage (8 shots then cooldown)
• Mystical Bomb - 90 damage (12-second cooldown)

The Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets Mythic is unique to the Doombot, and only one player can wield these arcane wonders. Despite their rarity, they are not all that special unless players are focused on a squad match. The Mythical Bomb is powerful, dealing around 90 damage, but its 12-second cooldown means that players need to be extremely accurate, as there’s a large bullet drop and little to no tracking.

The main fire mode of the Arcane Blasts is pretty consistent, but it might be too slow firing to see a competent battle when fighting against other great Mythics in Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4. As such, the Arcane Gauntlets are best used for a cool factor, or laying down heavy fire for those hiding in vehicles or behind cover thanks to the splash damage.

3 Emma Frost’s Striker Burst AR

Decent Recoil and Hard-Hitting Shots Help For Long-Range Engagements

• Acquired by: Eliminate and loot Emma Frost in The Raft

The start of Chapter 5 Season 4 lacks sniper rifles, meaning that long-range engagements are no longer about who can get a cheeky headshot to eliminate the other first. Instead, players are going to have to rely on Assault Rifles with modified scopes, which is exactly why Emma Frost’s Striker Burst AR comes in clutch when contesting land against opponents.

Emma Frost’s Striker Burst AR isn’t going to benefit players in close-range engagements, but its attachments and damage capabilities make it effective for taking out other players who are flying around with the War Machine Hover Jets, as well as those who are at too far of a distance for a pistol or shotgun.

2 Mysterio’s Sovereign Shotgun

Fast-Firing Shotgun With Vicious Headshot Damage

• Acquired by: Eliminate and loot Mysterio in Doomstadt

Shotguns seem essential to every meta, and the latest is definitely one of the greatest. The Sovereign Shotgun was introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4, and its strong impressions mean that hopefully, it sticks around, as it boasts of a high fire rate for a shotgun, as well as great damage at the cost of a short fall-off range.

When using the shotgun whilst aiming, players are going to find the Sovereign shotgun more useful in longer-ranged engagements. The best variant of the shotgun is definitely found when defeating Mysterio, as the Mythic Sovereign Shotgun has worthy attachments to make anyone a winner.

1 War Machine’s Arsenal

Destroy Enemies With Endless Barrages of Rockets and Wrist Cannons

• Acquired by: Looting Rare Chests, Avenger Chests, Capturing Loot Island
• Arm Cannons - 16 damage per shot
• Rocket Salvo - 25 damage per shot
• Uses light bullets

Before it’s nerfed into oblivion, players should check out War Machine’s Arsenal. This is a must-have Mythic that seems pretty common to find, and it will grant players some truly devastating power so long as they have the Light Bullets to maintain its ammo. War Machine’s Arsenal uses Arm Cannons to fire a barrage of light bullets and a Rocket Salvo to unleash deadly explosives on enemies.

Players can use both of these attack moves at once, laying down a barrage of hellfire onto players as they try desperately to evade or escape in cars. War Machine’s Arsenal is great for hunting down enemies. Even at close range, War Machine’s Arsenal excels due to its high DPS.
