Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks rotate six additions into the Chapter 7 Season 4 Personal Loot Pool on October 15. The new choices include Thorne’s Vampiric Blade, Finger Guns, Gatekeeper Shotgun, Hunting Rifle, Slap Splash and All Sprite Variants.
These are Loot Hack choices, not six items guaranteed to appear in the first chest you open. Once you understand which addition you want, the Personal Loot Pool system is the place to unlock and configure it, rather than waiting for the weapon to drop randomly without selecting it.
All six newly available Loot Hacks
Epic names Thorne’s Vampiric Blade, Finger Guns, Gatekeeper Shotgun, Hunting Rifle, Slap Splash and All Sprite Variants in the October 15 rotation. Each is a different kind of reward choice, with the last one relating to the Sprite collection rather than a conventional weapon.
Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks also remove some older options from the rotation. A previous guide to Midas’ Masterpiece or Witch Broom may show a way of obtaining it that is no longer available in the current selection.
How to add a new item to your Personal Loot Pool
Open the Personal Loot Pool or Loot Hacks interface from the current Battle Royale system and inspect the available choices. Select the relevant item and follow its displayed unlock or upgrade requirements before expecting it among your eligible loot.
The game can still control which rewards actually appear in a chest. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks make options available to your pool; they don’t turn every chest into a guarantee of the chosen weapon.
Thorne’s Vampiric Blade and Finger Guns
Thorne’s Vampiric Blade is among the new October 15 options, letting players pursue a themed blade through the active Loot Hack system. Finger Guns is another named weapon addition, but its exact current damage statistics belong to the live item description.
Because both options were added in the same rotation, check which one you have actually chosen. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks don’t automatically place both into every player’s inventory.
Gatekeeper Shotgun and Hunting Rifle
Gatekeeper Shotgun returns as a Loot Hack choice for players who want a close-range shotgun option, while Hunting Rifle serves a different ranged role. These are distinct weapons, so choose the one that suits the rest of your loadout.
The official update doesn’t include a complete side-by-side numeric damage table for their Loot Hack versions. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks establish availability; choose each Loot Hack based on the weapon or utility item it adds to your Personal Loot Pool.
Slap Splash and All Sprite Variants
Slap Splash is a consumable choice instead of another gun. All Sprite Variants is aimed at the wider Sprite collection, giving collectors a newly available option in the Personal Loot Pool.
These are easy to miss if you only look at weapon names. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks mix combat items and collection-related choices, so inspect the full list before deciding the rotation has nothing useful for your account.
Which items were vaulted in the rotation?
Epic removed Midas’ Masterpiece and Witch Broom as a Pocket Item, plus four Overrides. This is a change to their listed availability, not proof that an item can never return in a later rotation.
If an old guide says to unlock one of those items through the current Loot Hack selection, that method needs updating. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks reflect the October 15 choice pool rather than earlier weeks.
Why your chosen Loot Hack isn’t in a chest
First check that you selected the correct option and that its unlock conditions are met. A Loot Hack adjusts what can appear, not a 100 percent reward from every chest. Opening more eligible loot sources can still involve random results.
If you’re following a route written before October 15, compare it with the new rotation. Fortnite v42.40 Loot Hacks have changed, so the previous item list may no longer match the live system.
