Fortnite Creative 43.10 Weapons: Frenzy Auto Shotgun and Bone Rattler SMG

Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons now include hitscan Frenzy Auto Shotguns and Bone Rattler SMGs in Creative and Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Epic added six Frenzy Auto Shotgun rarities and five Bone Rattler SMG rarities in the November 12 update.

Both weapons are known to be missing from the Verse API for this release, so do not assume you can reference them directly from Verse yet.

The two weapons give Creative island makers more options for close-range fights. The update covers Creative and UEFN; Epic hasn’t said that every new rarity is appearing in Battle Royale. If you’re changing an island’s loadouts, test the exact versions you plan to use rather than relying on an older damage table.

All Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons and rarities

The hitscan Frenzy Auto Shotgun has Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic variants. The Bone Rattler SMG has Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Exotic variants.

The rarities are different for each weapon. Frenzy has a Common version and a Mythic version, while Bone Rattler starts at Uncommon and adds Exotic at the top end. Check which one you’re placing before you build it into a class or chest loadout.

Where to find Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons

To find Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons, open an island and search the Creative weapon inventory for Frenzy Auto Shotgun or Bone Rattler SMG. Choose the rarity you want, then add it through the island’s supported inventory or device workflow. Try it in a test match before replacing an existing loadout.

Test Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons in UEFN

In UEFN, find the new weapons through the available item workflows and launch a test session. Make sure your selected rarity is granted correctly and that firing, reloading and ammunition work as expected. The new Frenzy is hitscan, so don’t assume it behaves like a projectile weapon.

Fortnite Creative 43.10 weapons: why Verse does not recognise the new weapons

Epic says both weapon families are missing from the Verse API in v43.10 and are expected in the next major release. That is a known limitation, not necessarily a mistake in your import statements. If direct Verse references fail, do not invent class names or IDs to force them to compile.

Use supported non-Verse equipment workflows where appropriate and wait for the documented API addition if your mechanic depends specifically on script-level access.

Balance the weapons before updating a live island

A new shotgun or SMG can change how quickly fights end, even without a major device change. Check rarity availability, ammunition flow, close-range performance and how each weapon interacts with your existing inventory. For a class-based island, compare the new option against the equipment that role already uses.

Avoid claiming a precise time-to-kill or damage value without testing the correct 43.10 variant in the actual island settings.

How to compare the two weapons in a playtest

Build two identical test loadouts, changing only the shotgun or SMG you want to compare. Keep player health, shields and engagement distance the same. Check how each weapon handles a nearby target, how much a reload interrupts a fight and whether the ammunition supply changes the result. A single match with different opponents and equipment won’t give you a useful comparison.

Check each rarity separately. A Mythic Frenzy isn’t evidence for how the Common version performs, and the Bone Rattler’s Exotic variant needs its own test. Try the weapons at the distances players actually fight on your island before you change a live loadout. Epic hasn’t published damage figures in the 43.10 notes, so label any numbers you gather as your own testing.
