Epic Games has confirmed that Nitro Fists will return in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, a weapon that has been controversial for two years. The game's new gameplay trailer also appears to confirm that the controversial weapon will return as a Foundation weapon with new abilities. However, it may also be a new CH7S2 Boss power instead. Some fans have speculated that these weapons could be a Mythic Item or a new boss ability, which would make them more accessible to players who could transform into The Foundation, who will then have Nitro Fist as a part of his ability set. The release of the new season, which will launch on March 19, 2026, has been mixed with some expectations and some fear that the weapons will be more difficult to use due to their difficult learning curve.
