An experienced player can make use of absolutely every weapon available in Fortnite: Battle Royale . However, there is a weapon that can be called the best against the background of everything else. If you are a beginner and would like to know about the five best weapons in the game, then check out the list that we have compiled below.
When choosing, we analyzed the capabilities of the weapons in each game, not just Fortnite , considering parameters such as DPS, damage, range and momentum.
Assault rifle with scope
- DPS: 122.5.
- Damage: 35.
- Range: 1.
- Impulse: 28.
Assault rifle with scope
Undoubtedly, the Scoped Assault Rifle is the most powerful weapon in Fortnite . Currently, it is only available in the “Rare” version – and this is the best weapon you can get in the game!
It’s useless at close range, but it is, after all, a sniper rifle and shouldn’t be useful at close range. Apart from the obvious reasons, if you want an accurate shot from a distance, you will get it using SAR.
Semi-automatic shotgun
- DPS: 100.5 / 105.
- Damage: 67/70.
- Range: 3072/3072.
- Impulse: 304/320.
Semi-automatic shotgun
The Semi-Automatic Shotgun is available in two rarities – Uncommon and Rare. There is also a version of the pump action shotgun, which solves completely different tasks.
Regardless of the rarity, the SAS you use is a better weapon compared to pump action shotguns, which have a much lower 63 / 66.5 DPS. Sure, the pump system can do better up close, but the semi-automatic shotgun wins the comparison – it’s just a more versatile weapon.
Bolt sniper rifle
- DPS: 34.7 / 36.3 / 38.3.
- Damage: 105/110/116.
- Range: 1/1/1.
- Impulse: 360/378/396.
Bolt sniper rifle
The AWP is a powerful and very accurate sniper rifle with a bolt action resulting in reliability but a lower rate of fire. It is also the most dangerous type of sniper rifle in Battle Royale mode .
Don’t let the DPS values fool you. In fact, the rifle has the lowest DPS due to its built-in bolt mechanism, but it is better than an automatic sniper rifle.
Assault rifle SCAR
- DPS: 203.5 / 214.5.
- Damage: 37/39.
- Range: 1/1.
- Impulse: 29/31.
Assault rifle SCAR
Assault rifles are the bread and butter of any shooter, and Fortnite: Battle Royale is no exception. This weapon must be installed in your first slot – there are options for the regular rifle, which can later be replaced with the legendary SCAR.
Epic and Legendary Assault Rifles have increased damage compared to Normal and Uncommon variations. An assault rifle is generally a versatile weapon.
Flare gun
- DPS: 82.5 / 87 / 90.7.
- Damage: 110/116/121.
- Range: 1/1/1.
- Pulse: 2000/2100/2200.
Flare gun
Many players are still debating whether or not to add the rocket launcher to the list of the best weapons in the game. But it all comes down to damage statistics, where the rocket launcher wins against the background of each weapon.
There are six rounds loaded into the grenade launcher, while the rocket launcher only holds one round.
