Weapon Guide
All weapons with DPS, rarity tiers, and best use cases.
Assault Rifles (5)
MK-Alpha Assault Rifle
A precise, high-damage assault rifle with excellent accuracy at medium range. Low recoil pattern makes it ideal for beaming opponents. One of the strongest ARs in the current meta.
Combat Assault Rifle
A fast-firing assault rifle with a large magazine. Trades per-shot damage for a higher fire rate. Excellent for spray fights and applying pressure at medium range.
Hammer Assault Rifle
A reliable mid-range assault rifle with consistent damage output. First-shot accuracy resets quickly, making it effective for tap-firing at longer ranges.
Thermal Assault Rifle
Features a thermal scope that highlights enemies through smoke and storm. Lower fire rate but high accuracy. Best used as a recon weapon at medium-to-long range.
Tactical Assault Rifle
A versatile assault rifle with minimal bloom. Good all-around choice for mid-range engagements. The tight spread makes it forgiving for less experienced aimers.
Shotguns (4)
Pump Shotgun
The iconic Fortnite shotgun. Slow fire rate but devastating single-shot damage. Capable of one-shot eliminations with a headshot. The cornerstone of box-fighting and edit plays.
Tactical Shotgun
A semi-auto shotgun with a faster fire rate than the Pump. More forgiving if you miss your first shot. Great for players who prefer consistent damage over one-shot potential.
Combat Shotgun
A tight-spread shotgun effective at slightly longer ranges than other shotguns. The fast fire rate and tight pellet spread make it unique for mid-close range duels.
Lever Action Shotgun
A lever-action shotgun with moderate damage per shot and a unique cycling animation. Sits between the Pump and Tactical in terms of fire rate and damage output.
SMGs (2)
Stinger SMG
An extremely fast-firing SMG that shreds builds and opponents at close range. High DPS but difficult to control at range. Dominant in spray-and-pray strategies.
Suppressed SMG
A silenced SMG that keeps you off the compass when firing. Excellent accuracy for an SMG with manageable recoil. Great for stealthy flanks and close-range encounters.
Sniper Rifles (2)
Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
A single-shot sniper rifle with the highest per-hit damage of any hitscan weapon. Headshots deal over 200 damage for instant eliminations. The definitive long-range weapon.
Heavy Sniper Rifle
Deals massive damage to both players and structures. Can one-shot any build piece. Slower reload than the Bolt-Action but higher body-shot damage makes it punishing.
