Fortnite’s previous update saw the unvaulting of the Suppressed Assault Rifle, Suppressed SMG, Shadow Bomb, and Shield Bubble during the Shadow of Phantasm week. And now things are heating up in Fire with Fire Week as the Season comes to a close.

Fire with Fire Week begins today, September 7, 2022, at 9:00 am ET (2 pm UK time), and ends September 13, 2022, at 9:00 am ET (2 pm UK time).

During this time, players will see the unvaulting of the popular Chapter 2 Season 6 Primal Flame Bow, and Dragons Breath Shotgun (however these will not be available in competitive game modes).

There will be an increased spawn rate of Firefly jars, which are notorious for damaging builds from the ground up and dealing damage to players, and Chug Cannons are to be made more widely available to players, which could be essential to quickly deal with all of the fire damage!

Players will also receive a new series of quests to incorporate the use of all 4 items, giving them that all-important XP boost as we near the end of the Vibin Season.
