Easily the most notable weapon yet to appear in the live game can be spotted at the 45-second mark in the battle pass trailer. The Recycler allows you to harvest materials and then shoot them out as an explosive.
This unique weapon doesn’t require any traditional form of ammo to be fired. Instead, you just need to be near other objects on the map. From building materials to trash cans, almost anything can be sucked into the gun and fired back.

Recycler damage stats in Fortnite
This upcoming weapon isn’t just for fun. The Recycler deals a good amount of damage if you’re able to hit your shots. With just one hit from the Rare version of the gun, enemies will take 75 points of damage, leaving them open for a quick follow-up.

While it doesn’t require ammo, the Recycler still has a magazine size of three. Meaning you’ll need to reload after a few shots, this takes just two seconds.
If you’re able to get your hands on the higher-tier versions, damage is even more effective. For the Epic rarity, each shot delivers 79 points of damage. At the Legendary rarity, enemies will take a whopping 83 points of damage.

Little to none is known about the above weapons, but we did see something that looks suspiciously like a grappler bow in the battle pass trailer as well, at the 23-second mark.

The bow seemingly allows the player to grapple up similarly to the grapple gun from previous seasons.
