According to Epic Games, several popular Marvel characters and weapons from the Marvel universe will make their return during the upcoming season featuring a Marvel theme. Players can expect its suppressed variant along with SCAR for stealthier gameplay mechanics. These are likely just additions within a wider selection of items, of which some may come immediately while others might be rolled out later on different updates.

Marvel heroes arm themselves with unique weapons

Almost every Battle Pass character will have a unique weapon, so the Marvel theme isn’t just about character skins. This suggests that Fortnite is incorporating more Marvel elements into gameplay. Some of the featured heroes include War Machine, Gwenpool and a new version of Doctor Doom — each bringing their unique weapons that match their personalities.

Weapons such as Captain America’s Shield, Peelverine’s Claws and Iron Man’s Gloves will make a comeback in this season too, giving players different styles of combat to try out. In addition to these returning favorites, there will also be some brand-new weapons like Dual SMGs, a Sniper Rifle and a Single-Handed Pistol that are set to debut this season. The leaker’s list even hints at the Heavy Assault Rifle making its return along with Stark Industries’ Energy Rifle which would give players an even larger selection of guns to choose from.

Season 4 unveils Its content rollout plan

Epic Games has changed up how they release content in Season 4 by possibly introducing new things throughout the season instead of all at once like previous seasons. This means that while some weapons or items might be available immediately, others could come out over time. This method keeps the game fresh consistently giving players something new to do each week.

The fact that people are excited about SCAR’s return shows just how much it means to the Fortnite community. Known for being dependable as well as versatile, this gun has always been very popular among players so its re-introduction is expected to have a significant impact on gameplay. With new character skins from Marvel, strategic content rollout and chapter five of season 4 being such an important Fortnite milestone – there should be no shortage of things for fans to enjoy.
