The “Fire wIth Fire Week” comes as part of Fortnite’s v21.51 update, which is purported to be Chapter 3 Season 3’s final update. Epic Games’ wildly popular free-to-play title has continued its reign as crossover king in the midst of its themed weeks, most recently adding Starfire from DC’s Teen Titans.

Detailed in an official blog post, Fortnite’s Fire with Fire Week will unvault several fire-based weapons, including the Primal Flame Bow and Dragon’s Breath Shotgun. For those who may be unfamiliar, the Primal Flame Bow was introduced as a craftable weapon during Chapter 2 Season 6, firing flame arrows, while the Dragon’s Breath Shotgun is a powerful one-shot item using four shotgun shells each time. Players can find both of the unvaulted items as floor loot and in Chests. Firefly Jars and Chug Cannons will have increased spawn rates during the week as well, adding more (or less) fuel to the fire.

Fire with Fire Week comes off the heels of another themed week in Fortnite, Shadow of Phantasm Week. The previous week unvaulted items like the Shadow Bomb and Shield Bubble, with the former not seen in the game since Fortnite’s very first Chapter. In addition to the tactical items, the prior week also unvaulted the Suppressed Assault Rifle and Suppressed SMG, really helping to drive home the stealthy theme.

Interestingly, Fortnite has had a fire-themed week before, and its first “themed” week at that. In May 2021, Fortnite introduced its “Wild Weeks,” which put an emphasis on a certain gameplay aspect and kicked off with “Fighting Fire with Fire.” The previous iteration is similar to the current one now, with the Dragon’s Breath Shotgun in place of the Flare Gun. Similarly to the previous version, the new Fire with Fire Week will feature fire-based quests sure to heat up the competition on the island.

Fortnite’s Fire with Fire Week runs from September 7 at 9 AM ET to September 13 at 9 AM ET, which falls just a few days before Chapter 3 Season 3’s expected end date of September 17. Completionists should be sure to complete all achievements at Rainbow Crossroads, as well as finish up any other quests before Chapter 3 Season 4 begins.

Fortnite is free-to-play on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
