Fortnite Exotic items have become one of the most popular items in the game. They were introduced in Chapter 2 – Season 5 together with Gold Bars. Initially, there were only five Exotic items available in the game, but Epic Games has expanded the loot pool with new additions.
Season 8 has brought Exotic items back and they can be purchased from several NPCs located on the island. Furthermore, the Fortnite developer has added a new Exotic item in the season which heals players and gives them a speed boost. Just like before, every item of this rarity has a unique trait that makes it unique.
Fortnite Exotic items in Season 8: Weapons
As of the v18.10 update, Fortnite players are able to obtain five different exotic items. There are three different weapons and two utilities that have this rarity.
Dragon’s Breath Sniper Rifle has been unvaulted at the start of the season. What makes this sniper rifle special is its ability to set wooden structures on fire. It is a combination of a Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle and a Firefly Jar, which makes it very fun! Players can purchase this sniper from Pitstop at Boney Burbs.
Shadow Tracker has been in the game since the addition of Exotic items. It has been given to different NPCs and is currently sold by Dusk at Primal Pond. This suppressed pistol marks enemies on hit for all squad members, which makes it very useful!
Marksman Six Shooter is one of the deadliest weapons in Fortnite Battle Royale. While it deals only 24 damage for a body shot, its headshot multiplier is 4.0, the highest in the game! In the right hands, this weapon can even be overpowered! Players will have to visit Wrath at Deep Woods Dish to purchase this amazing revolver.

Finally, the latest Exotic item Epic Games has added is a Chili Chug Splash. This is another item that can be purchased from The Brat, but players can also get it from Supply Llamas. This throwable item heals players for 20 effective health and gives them a speed boost!
