Top 10 Best Fortnite Weapons
You've dropped from the Battle Bus, scavenged every chest in sight, and now you're standing in the storm with one sliver of health and a questionable loadout. This is where the right weapon makes all the difference. Some guns feel like extensions of your own reflexes, others feel like you're trying to win a firefight with a pool noodle. And let's not even talk about the ones that disappear the moment you start to like them.This list is where you get to settle the score. Vote up the Fortnite weapons that have carried you to Victory Royales, clutched those last-second eliminations, or just felt so satisfying to use that you didn't care if you placed 90th. Maybe it's the classic reliability of a certain rifle. Maybe it's a shotgun that hits like a dump truck. Or maybe it's a ridiculous crossover item that throws balance out the window and replaces it with pure chaos.
The gun is just so balanced. While it is rare to find, it is rewarding if you do find it.
It does 36 body shot damage and 72 headshot damage and has great accuracy. It is also balanced because of its perfect fire rate, giving players a decent amount of time to react. However, you've already hit them enough to where you can most likely come out on top.
This gun is just too good.
It's my second favorite gun, but I still say the suppressed assault rifle is better.
Accurate. Decent damage. Recoil is easy to deal with.
A noob who started playing a week ago could easily get his first kill or first hit on a player with this (if the player is lucky enough).
But this is about how good the weapon is, not how rare it is. I almost forgot to mention that rocket riding is one of the most fun ways to play around in the game.
It is very easy to win if you have a Rocket Launcher. In the late game, when everyone is building bases, just destroy them with your Rocket Launcher and then snipe them or shoot them with a rifle.
Fun fact: you may not believe this, but the purple RPG is rarer than the gold RPG because you can't find the purple one in supply drops or on the ground.
Love snipers! Not very good with it yet, but it's so powerful!
If you know how to aim, you can one-shot people easily with it.
Best sniper to one-shot. Got 5 kills in a minute!
It does a hell of a lot of damage and has such low spread and also a supersonic rate of fire. It is so effective at kind of long range.
It can also penetrate up to 14 people if they are in a straight line, perfect if there is a squad in a line. OP.
Why is this not at 1 or 2? Because the pump should be at 1 and the heavy should be at 2. The heavy does 77 and the pump does more. The SCAR does only 36 damage.
This weapon is overpowered, by far the best shotgun in the game, and good with dance bombs.
I wish the tactical SMG was still in the game.
If you hit a clean headshot with this weapon at point-blank range on someone with full health and shield, you can one-shot them.
One shot, one kill. How are the heavy shotgun and the purple tac above this beast?
My favorite guns in Fortnite are all the ones that need shells.
What I like about this is that it actually isn't overpowered yet is very fun to use. Chasing players around with missiles and hitting them can be easy but only if you are fighting a default.
The best (or maybe just the average) players know that they can either block your incoming missile or get enough distance before it explodes. This creates a balance that determines who's a better player: the rocket guider or the runner.
I tried the proximity grenade launcher and I loved it. It's an aimbot gun.
Yo, this gun is a wall breaker. I switch between this and my pump for kills.
They removed it because it's so OP.
The Newcomers
Dude, this thing gave 200 HP and shield, regenerated 1 HP per second, recovered 50 HP per kill, could do 25 damage with a jump slash, 75 per normal slash, acted as a mobility tool, and was just SO FREAKING COOL.
Bro, this is the most overpowered thing Fortnite has ever added in its history. It surpasses any gun ever added, like the SCAR, bolt-action sniper rifle, and even the blue suppressed SMG.
If you are confused about why the blue SMG is mentioned, it's because Epic Games did a massive buff on it around July 2018, making it more overpowered than the SCAR.
One more thing, this weapon is NOT Mythic. It is Legendary just like any other weapon in Fortnite, although in Save the World there is a Mythic rank for your heroes but not for guns. Good day.
Not a great gun, but effective when shot in the head.
It is so good ever since the buff. Imagine without cool down in creative.
It's good for spamming if you have good aim.
Love the gun so much, and it works as a sniper for me.
This gun right here was so OP that Epic had to remove it because it was amazing!
OP #1 without question. If they don't nerf it very soon, it will destroy the entire game.
Extremely useful to have late game if you don't know how to build quickly or if you don't have materials.
If you hear someone coming into the house you're in, hide in a room. When they're there, just put a clinger on them. And there you go - you 'sploded someone.
Come on, just think. You're in a duel with someone and you're both the last ones standing. You both build a tower and try to snipe each other.
"I can't win this, I only have my SCAR!"
Then, as if a miracle comes through, you notice your legendary Heavy Sniper sitting there idly saying, "Hello, I'm here to be used."
You take it out, then line up the headshot. Your opponent wouldn't know what hit them, and seconds later you are doing the HYPE because you won.
So yeah, the legendary Heavy Sniper. Destroys any material in one shot, and in my opinion, the greatest weapon ever.
