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.

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.
