Not all three are confirmed as vaulted now. Epic says Wings of Icarus was temporarily vaulted while it worked on an issue; the evidence available here does not confirm the current status of Chains of Hades or Thunderbolt of Zeus. Availability can differ by season and game mode.
What “vaulted” means in Fortnite
Epic defines vaulting as an item being released and later made unavailable. Vaulting does not, by itself, mean an item is permanently removed. Epic lists possible general reasons for vaulting—such as an item being overpowered, underused, limited-time, or glitch-prone—but has not assigned a specific reason to each of these three powers in the sources cited here. Epic’s item documentation provides the definition.

What Epic announced for Chapter 5 Season 2
Epic’s March 8, 2024 announcement for Chapter 5 Season 2 described the Greek-mythology-themed powers. It called the item “Thunderbolt of Zeus”—the name sometimes shortened in discussion to “Bolt of Zeus.” Thunderbolt of Zeus and Wings of Icarus were available around the island, while Chains of Hades was scheduled to arrive later in the season. Read Epic’s Season 2 announcement.
Status by item
| Item | Chapter 5 Season 2 context | What is established about vaulting | Current official status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wings of Icarus | Introduced as a flight item with a dive attack; extended flight could cause the wings to burn. | Epic’s support notice says it was temporarily vaulted while the team resolved an issue. | That notice does not establish permanent removal or the item’s present availability in every mode. |
| Chains of Hades | Epic said it would be added later in the season. | Community-maintained histories include dated, mode-specific vaulting and availability entries. | Not confirmed by the official evidence cited here. |
| Thunderbolt of Zeus | A Mythic power obtainable around the island or by defeating Zeus. | Community-maintained histories include dated, mode-specific vaulting and availability entries. | Not confirmed by the official evidence cited here. |
Why a single vaulting claim can be misleading
Community item histories record Battle Royale vaulting around the Chapter 5 Season 3 transition, as well as later changes in other seasons or modes. Those entries are useful for historical context, but they do not establish a universal live status across Fortnite. A weapon may be unavailable in one mode or season and appear in another.
