The launch ofFortnite’s Chapter 2 Season 5 introduces many new changes to the game. In addition to drastic map changes,Fortniteplayers will see plenty of new weapons, including the Exotic Shadow Tracker pistol.
Epic Games' popular battle royale title recently launched the weapon as part of its new season. Having a focus on bounty hunters across “all realities,“Fortniteis also continually adding unexpected crossovers likeThe MandalorianandGod of War’sKratos.

How To Find The Shadow Tracker
To begin with, all Exotic weapons are very rare and can only be acquired from trading Gold Bars with some of theNPCs located throughout the map. Players hunting down the Shadow Tracker will want to head to the easternmost part of the map in Dirty Docks. Within Dirty Docks, head to the large building that is the closest to the map’s edge (the one that looks like Dusty Depot). There they can find an NPC by the name of Reese. Simply talk to Reese, select the Exotic pistol, and select purchase. However, players will certainly need a lot ofFortnite’s new currency if they want it in their arsenal.
Exotic Weapon, Exotic Price
As previously mentioned, players can only get Exotics by buying it off of select NPCs. Unfortunately, the 1,225 Gold Bar price tag is likely to drain player’s stashes, assuming they even have that much. With only five Exotic weapons around the map, seeing the guns in action is a somewhat rare event.
Players who do manage to gather enough bars to make the exchange will be basically wielding a souped-up suppressed pistol. In addition to dealing 29 damage per round, the Shadow Tracker marks opponents for a limited time. This is the same effect that happens when shaking down opponents orconsuming a Vendetta Flopper. So in short, the basic steps to get the Exotic Shadow Tracker pistol are:
The Shadow Tracker re-introduces the suppressed pistol intoFortnite, but with a unique twist. The high damage rate and added tracking feature should make this a highly sought-after weapon. However, due to the high price tag, it’s unlikely players will be able to gather enough Gold Bars for it more than once every few games.
The new currency system is becoming quite a divisive topic amongfans. While some players don’t feel like the game is being severely affected, there are others who believeSeason 5’s Bars will completely change the competitive scene. It seems only time will tell whereFortnitewill go next.
Fortniteis free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
