A long-running battle royale game like Fortnite; Aside from a new episode every season, it develops a new meta. Epic Games has completely revamped the game and this is most evident in the brand new weapon and item pool. In this article, we bring together the best Fortnite weapons.
1- MK-Seven
The MK-Seven is players’ closest weapon to the vaulted SCAR when it comes to an assault rifle. This medium and long range weapon has great zoom with a red dot sight that helps shoot down opponents a little further away. Not unlike the Stinger SMG in terms of firing, the MK-Seven is an AR that reloads in 2.8 seconds, has a mag size of 35 and has 225 DPS thanks to Seven’s technology.
2- Auto Shotgun
The Auto Shotgun has good speed, deals pretty decent damage, but keep in mind that it needs some time to reload after you empty your magazine. It’s one of the two shotgun options in Fortnite right now, and given that it’s built with speed in mind, it comes out on top for those who love to build battles.
3- Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
When it comes to snipers, you only have one option in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 and that is Hunter Bolt-Action. A heavy weapon that kills an opponent in one shot unless they have full shields. With three bullets in your clip, it will only take a few tries to knock your opponents down and finish.
4- Stinger SMG
2.25 second reload time; With a mag size of 30 and a DPS of 264, this SMG; It is an outstanding weapon to take down your opponent at close range at mid range. This is a weapon you can use in a building battle when you need to demolish structures and fire soul-destroying shots while trying to figure out how to defend your opponents.
5- Sidearm Pistol
With a reload time of 1.26 seconds, this gun’s strength should not be underestimated, considering that it can also go up to 209.25 DPS with a 15-round magazine. When you get this weapon, you will understand why it is among the best weapons.
6- Flare Gun
This weapon brings fire like fireflies that you can collect around the map and that’s a great feature. The Flare Gun also marks your opponents when fired over them, just like the Shakedown effect. This weapon is more about usability than damage stats.
7- Dragon’s Breath Sniper
One shot from Dragon’s Breath Sniper; It can deal massive damage to your targets and set them on fire. You can camp with this long-range rifle and take down your enemies from afar.
8- Sideways Minigun
This Sideways weapon has enough ammo to smash any enemy structures standing between you and a hunt. Deals 21 damage per bullet with a rate of 7 fire and a reload time of 4.75. The weapon comes with a bonus perk that makes it more suitable in combat. When it warms up, its rate of fire increases, so you can fire bullets at your opponents much faster.
9- Rocket Launcher
This explosive weapon can be used to deal tons of damage to multiple opponents at once. Launches a single, slow rocket that spreads its damage over a wide area; The only downside is that the reload speed is long.
10- Rail Gun
This IO tech gun can shoot directly from hard surfaces; which makes it a very effective weapon for long range combat situations. You can use it to inflict massive damage from afar. The biggest downside is the visible aiming beam, which makes it easy for your opponents to track your exact location. So you need to be quick to shoot them before the target points you aim at.
11- Sideways Rifle
This Sideways weapon is ideal for players who prefer long-range combat. The Epic version of this weapon can deal 32 damage with a fire rate of 3.5 and a reload time of 2.66. Additionally the weapon has a bonus advantage that it can deal extra damage to enemies while hot.
12- Striker Pump Shotgun
Unless you’re carrying an SMG at the same time as the Striker Shotgun; unfortunately there is no recovery option when using this weapon. The Striker Shotgun’s projectile spread is tighter so it works better when the user is aiming at places down. With a 50-60 damage per second (DPS) range, it’s arguably the best shotgun option in Chapter 3.
13- Ranger Assault Rifle
This rifle is a slow firing heavy assault rifle. It has increased DPS to compensate for its slow firing abilities and allows players to deal with critical damage; Allows it to deal up to 37 damage. This weapon doesn’t have a scope like the rival assault rifle option, but does have a small aiming sight. Close range due to slow firing; It is not a weapon of choice for high-pressure moments.
14- Clinger
These small detonator guns still prove to be deadly weapons at long or close range; and can eliminate multiple enemies. Sometimes explosives are the best way to take down enemies, especially if there’s more than one. Players, with Clinger’s ability to stick to any surface and medium detention radius; they are rediscovering how powerful they are.
15. Heavy Shotgun
This heavy shotgun fires slightly faster than a pump like the Auto but deals more damage like the Striker. They slightly changed the model of this weapon from the model that players are used to seeing. Damage can now deal up to an average of 30 damage, as it used to be.
