Exotic weapons in Fortnite are some of the best tools for winning a battle royale match. Their blend of punishing damage and unique functionality means you'll inevitably have some advantage over opponents.

The only problem is trying to find them. Exotic weapons are sold by NPCs, so you'll need a healthy amount of gold bars to pay for them, although you can always try your luck at malfunctioning vending machines.

Fortnite season 8 has reintroduced some older exotic weapons, along with longtime favorites and spread them around the map. We've laid out every exotic weapon location for you below. We also have a guide to the new Sideways weapons.

Read on for our full guide to Fortnite season 8 exotic weapons.
