Your other close-range options include SMGs and pistols. The silenced pistol is strong, but is better suited to mid-range battles because of its lower damage (see section below). SMGs are decent, especially the tactical variants, and are more versatile than shotguns. But you should only lean on them early in the game when you don’t have an assault rifle to deal with enemies at mid-range. Up close, shotguns better them. Fortnite's best rifles: SCAR and burst-fire assault rifle In other shooters, you might want to bind certain weapons to any customisable mouse keys you have, and while that’s an option here it’s probably better to use those keys for your building tools. You never know when you’ll need to throw down a wall under fire, but that’s all advice you can read in our collection of Fortnite building tips.

A specific noise is played when a critical hit is landed, and the damage number is larger (and yellow if the opponent has no shield left). Weapon Categories are not strictly defined by the game. However, there are categories which are definitively weapon categories, as the contents of the category, fit established weapon rules. Other categories have items which may be classed as weapons, but also contain some which are ambiguous, or not weapons at all (these will be specified). The Heavy AR is a monster in terms of damage. It has the ability to shred an enemy at close, medium and even long range, but its accuracy means that, as with all assault rifles, you shouldn't just hold down the fire button until you run out of bullets. A slower rate of fire, slower reload time, and reduced magazine size all attempt to mitigate the sheer power of this gun, but the truth is a Blue Heavy AR is arguably worth taking over a Gold SCAR as things currently stand. Remember, flat damage is king in Fortnite, as long as you know how to use it. Fortnite Battle Royaleis now free-to-play on the PC, Xbox One and PS4, allowing those who don’t own the full Fortnite game to experience its new survival mode for the low price of absolutely nothing. Perhaps controversially the only sniper rifle to make the list for the best Fortnite weapons, the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle has been around for the longest time as it’s a dependable and rewarding gun to use. It takes a little bit more skill than most weapons and can create some boring situations in the final circle, but that’s just because everyone knows that one shot to the head with it is a death sentence.We may have seen the last of the Kymera Ray Gun, but I sure hope not. This alien tech weapon acted as an alternative to the SMG class and provided a continuous stream of death ray energy the likes of which Fortnite has never seen before or since. While it's weak on builds, it's devastating on players and vehicles. If it meant having the island invaded again so I could play with the Kymera Ray Gun once more, I might take the deal. Pump Shotgun (Epic Or Legendary) Use the minigun to tear up buildings: it’s too inaccurate to rely on in firefights. Fortnite's best sniper rifle: Bolt-action sniper As the name suggests, burst assault rifles fire in three round bursts, while a basic assault rifle is full auto. The burst has some accuracy pros as a result over distance, but the class does have a lower damage and firing rate overall. Seeing as you can recreate the effects of a burst rifle with an assault just by tapping the trigger, it's worth swapping out for an assault rifle if you get a chance. Rarer Fortnite guns are always best, but DPS beats damage if you’re a poor shot Medium Bullets: Used for weapons which deal a medium amount of damage per shot, such as most Assault Weapons and some Pistols. The Combat Shotgun is a hybrid of the Tactical and the lost-but-not-forgotten Heavy Shotgun. Its fire rate surpasses even that of the Tactical, giving it the best DPS of the class despite its slightly lower damage than the Tac at times. What's more, it has a shorter reload time thanks to its ability to reload 2 shells at a time. Plus it can hold more ammo before having to reload. Plus it's got a crazy tight spread, which improves its effective range beyond what the Tactical or the Pump could ever have hoped to achieve. It's a great addition to the Shotguns roster, and for the time being it'll no doubt prove the close-range weapon of choice for many.

Visual change during Fortnitemares Event. Though, during Fortnitemares the Common variant was vaulted at that time so it's unknown as it would've been used or not.The unofficial mascot of Fortnite has been having a tough time of it of late. As well as being constantly nerfed with the controversial double pump strat being taken out of the game seemingly for good, it’s also had some competition from other weapons to almost replace it, to make it not the only viable weapon for close-quarters. Despite all that, the Pump is still going strong. Bullets can be hitscan (which is an instant connection) or a projectile, which moves at a set speed with a physical object in the world.

In terms of what to carry around, small shield potions are the best bet. You can gulp them down in no time for 25 shield points, and although they can only give you a maximum of 50 at a time, they’re perfect for keeping you sustained between firefights. The standard shield potions, which grant you 50 points apiece, are good too, but generally you won’t be carrying them around because you’ll use them as soon as you see them.

Most weapons do not have a different Structure Damage, though Explosives typically deal increased Structure Damage.

The poor old Tactical. Forever the bridesmaid, never the bride. With the v9.00 Patch Notes each variant of the Tac received a decent damage buff, and the removal of the Pump Shotgun meant it might finally see the light of popular play. Alas, the Combat Shotgun is superior in nearly every way, and the Tac is left outranged and (for once) slower than its competition. But it's still a powerful damage-dealer that can easily end a fight up close and personal, so be wary against players with a good Tac Shotgun. Those who are just hopping into the game will immediately notice that it’s very similar to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, another Battle Royale game that developers Epic Games drew plenty of inspiration from (even if PUBG developer Bluehole weren’t very happy about them using their ideas). However, one key difference between PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale is how the latter approaches its weaponry, with its guns not strewn across the floor of empty buildings, but instead represented by floating, colored orbs that indicate their respective power levels.
