Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree: Chug Jug Returns With Unvaulted Exotic Weapons

Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree has officially arrived, bringing a wave of returning items, unvaulted Exotic weapons, and major vending machine upgrades to the island. Running from March 12 to March 19, this limited-time event shakes up the Battle Royale loot pool with some fan-favourite items making their comeback.

For players jumping into matches this week, the Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree introduces a new reason to hunt down vending machines across the island. Not only are vending machines stocked with powerful gear, but players can also expect increased Gold Bar opportunities and the return of one of Fortnite’s most iconic healing items.

Chug Jug Returns in Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree

One of the biggest highlights of the Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree is the return of the Chug Jug. This classic healing item restores both health and shields completely when used, making it one of the most powerful recovery tools ever introduced in Fortnite.

Although it requires a longer use time compared to modern healing items, the Chug Jug’s ability to fully heal a player makes it incredibly valuable during late-game situations. Its return is likely to shake up combat strategies, especially for players who manage to secure one before the final circles.

Vending Machines Get Major Loot Upgrades

During the Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree event, vending machines across the island are now stocked with stronger and rarer loot than usual.

Players can expect to find:

High-tier weapons
Returning Exotic weapons
Valuable utility items
Increased purchasing opportunities with Gold Bars

This means players who prioritise visiting vending machines early in a match could gain a significant advantage. With better loot available through these machines, they may become key hotspots across the map throughout the event.

Unvaulted Exotic Weapons Return

Another major addition during the Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree is the return of several Exotic weapons. These unique weapons often feature special mechanics that change how combat works in Fortnite.

Examples of Exotic weapons that may appear during the event include:

Explosive sniper variants
Unique pistols with special effects
High-powered scoped weapons

Because Exotic weapons typically require Gold Bars to purchase, players will need to manage their resources carefully to take advantage of the event.

More Gold Bars Available During the Event

To support the vending-focused gameplay of this Wild Week, Epic Games has also increased opportunities for players to earn Gold Bars.

Gold Bars are essential during the Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree because they allow players to purchase weapons and items directly from vending machines. With more Gold Bars available, players can experiment with stronger loadouts and try out returning Exotics without worrying as much about saving their currency.

Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree Event Dates

The Fortnite Wild Weeks Vending Spree runs for a limited time only.

Event Schedule

Start Date: March 12

Once the event ends, the Chug Jug and some of the unvaulted weapons may once again leave the loot pool, making this week the perfect time for players to experience these returning items.
