Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1’s second Wild Week, “Vending Spree,” lets you buy several Mythic weapons and even Chug Jugs straight from premium vending machines in Battle Royale, thanks to a big temporary boost to Gold Bar income across the island. During this event, gold vending machines can roll Legendary, Exotic, and Mythic loot, including Hush’s Deadeye AR, Brutus’ Twin Hammer Shotguns, the Mythic Iron Pump Shotgun, and other high‑end options that used to be boss‑only drops.
Mythic items are still expensive, with community reporting settling around 3,000 Gold Bars per Mythic weapon and a lower but still premium cost for the Chug Jug, but Wild Week 2 also increases the Gold Bars you earn from loot, stashes, and other sources so you can realistically afford at least one Mythic most matches if you land smart. If you’re jumping in during the final week of Chapter 7 Season 1, this is your best chance to run a Mythic‑heavy loadout without having to hunt the island’s bosses every game.
how Mythic vending machines work
-
Play during Wild Week 2: Vending Spree (Chapter 7 Season 1’s final week).
-
Land at a POI with a gold (premium) vending machine and good Gold sources (safes, cash registers, floor loot).
-
Loot until you have enough Gold Bars (aim for around 3,000 if you want a Mythic).
-
Check the premium vending machine: if it’s selling a Mythic, buy it; if not, decide whether to grab a Legendary/Exotic or rotate to another machine.
-
Keep farming Gold across the match to pick up a second Mythic or a Chug Jug if you find another good roll.
This loop works in both build and Zero Build, and it stacks with boss drops, so you can run multiple Mythics if you snowball early.
What is the Vending Spree Wild Week in Chapter 7?
Wild Week 2: Vending Spree runs from March 12–19, 2026, as the second limited‑time modifier week in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. It comes right after Wild Week 1 (OG Weapons), which unvaulted classics like the OG Pump Shotgun, SCAR, Suppressed SMG, and Hunting Rifle, and those OG weapons remain in the loot pool during Week 2.
For Vending Spree, Epic has changed two big systems at once:
-
Premium vending machines now have a chance to sell Mythic weapons and Chug Jugs, alongside Legendary and Exotic loot.
-
Gold Bar earnings from most sources (loot, stashes, etc.) are increased, making it much easier to afford expensive items in a single match.
The net result is that Mythic gear is no longer limited to one or two players who secure boss fights early; entire lobbies can realistically end up with Mythic shotguns or ARs if they path through the right POIs and use their Gold.
Which Mythic weapons can you buy from vending machines?
Under normal conditions, Hush’s Deadeye AR and Brutus’ Twin Hammer Shotguns are boss drops you only get by defeating those bosses at their spawn locations. During Vending Spree, premium vending machines can offer those same weapons directly for Gold, so you can skip risky boss fights if you prefer a safer early game.
Prices can fluctuate with tuning, but the event centers around Mythics costing a large chunk of your total Gold (around 3,000 Bars for the weapon, with the Chug Jug sitting lower as a “luxury heal”). If Epic adjusts the prices or item pool in a later hotfix, expect those changes to be announced in the usual patch notes and community channels.
How Gold Bars are buffed during Vending Spree
To support vending‑based Mythics, Gold Bars are much easier to earn across the island during Wild Week 2. Epic highlights “Gold Bars earned from loot increased,” and community posts specify boosts like stashes going from 250 to 750 Bars, with similar increases applying across other sources.

-
You hit 1,000+ Gold quickly just by looting floor loot and chests in a decent POI.
-
Safes and cash registers feel far more rewarding than usual and are worth diverting for.
-
Eliminations tend to drop more Gold than you’re used to, especially in mid‑game when players have been looting for a while.
An example path that works well in both solos and squads is: land at a POI with multiple cash registers, loot everything on your way to the premium vending machine, grab any safe or stash you see, and then check the machine once you’re near the 3,000‑Gold mark. If it’s not selling a Mythic you want, you can rotate to the next POI and repeat.
Is it worth buying Mythics instead of fighting bosses?
Buying Mythics straight from vending machines is absolutely worth it in Chapter 7 Season 1’s Vending Spree week if you value consistency and low‑risk setups. Bosses like Hush and Beach Brutus still drop their kits, so you can theoretically walk away with more total Mythics if you win those fights, but vending machines give you a safer, more repeatable route.
You’ll especially feel the difference with shotguns and ARs:
-
Mythic shotguns (Brutus’ Twin Hammers, Pinpoint Iron Pump) drastically increase your close‑range damage and can decide box fights in a single shot.
-
Hush’s Deadeye AR gives you a scoped rifle with a high headshot multiplier and first‑shot accuracy that excels up to around 100 meters, while still being usable beyond that range.
One important detail: recent balance changes mean Deadeye and similar red‑dot rifles behave as hitscan up to 100 meters, but their shots become projectiles beyond that distance, adding travel time and drop to very long‑range beams. That keeps Mythic ARs strong at realistic fight ranges while stopping them from completely deleting players across the map.
If you’re a newer or more cautious player, vending machines are usually the better play, because you avoid chaotic boss fights and can still walk into mid‑game with Mythic‑tier gear.
Best loadouts and strategies for Mythic vending week
Because more players than usual can reach Mythic power levels, you should expect tougher mid‑ and late‑game fights during Vending Spree. Here’s how to keep up.
Prioritize a Mythic shotgun first
If you can only afford one Mythic, start with a shotgun. Rarity matters massively in close‑range fights, and running into a Mythic shotgun when you only have a green or blue can be the difference between winning or being one‑pumped.
-
Brutus’ Twin Hammer Shotguns are ideal if you’re comfortable with double‑barrel timing and spacing.
-
Pinpoint Iron Pump is better if you want a more traditional, precise pump experience.
Pair your shotgun with a strong spray weapon
Once you’ve locked in a Mythic shotgun, pair it with either:
-
A Mythic SMG like the Flex SMG, which shreds at close range and helps you finish cracked enemies fast.
-
A Mythic AR like Hush’s Deadeye or Enforcer if you prefer mid‑range stability and long‑range tags.
A popular all‑rounder setup for this week is:
-
Slot 1: Mythic shotgun (Brutus’ Twin Hammers or Pinpoint Iron Pump)
-
Slot 2: Flex SMG or Mythic AR
-
Slot 3: Mobility (Shockwaves, movement utility)
-
Slot 4–5: Heals, ideally including a Chug Jug if you can afford it
