Fortnite Season 5 introduces many new features, including new map locations, Mandalorian challenges, and quest-giving NPCs. Thankfully, some things remain the same, such as exotic/mythic weapons that can inflict significant damage to enemies.
Like previous seasons, Season 5 includes boss characters who possess exotic weapons. However, this season, you don’t need to fight them to obtain these weapons. With a new map in play, finding them can be challenging at first.
Here’s the location of every exotic weapon in Fortnite Season 5:
