• An assault rifle
• A shotgun
• A sniper rifle
• Rocket launcher
• Shields
• Healing items

Keeping four Fortnite weapons and one shield or healing item is sensible while playing. if you’re down with a close-range weapon, drop something shiny for a shotgun, even an SMG and pick the close range weapon. If you only have shotguns, try to clear them off for a little space for other weapons.

Best Battle Royale Weapons and Fortnite Weapons List

1. Fortnite’s best rifles:

SCAR is the best Fortnite weapon in the first place because it is a Legendary variant of AR. This is an excellent choice with more damage per second that records 198 DPS which is higher than any other weapon in the game. Just not hesitate to grab it when you see it.

Burst-fire assault rifle comes in the second place. It’s capacity is 30 damage per body shot and it can fire three-round burst. That means you can almost make 90 damages per punch. This one headshot can rip off your opponent into pieces.

Next comes the automated M16 assault rifle. This is solid and useful, but not better than the SCAR and the burst rifle as its bullet spread range is low and damage level is also comparatively low. It is better to consider only Red and Blue variants of M16.

2. Fortnite’s best shotgun:

Shotguns are the most important Fornite best weapons and there are three types: the pump shotgun, the tactical shotgun and the heavy shotgun.

The pump shotgun is slow firing but can make high damage. the tactical shotgun fires very quickly but it is less lethal, and the heavy shotgun falls between both pump and tactical shotguns. It is easy to find the pump and tactical shotguns and each of them comes in three varieties: Common, Uncommon, and Rare.

When you are in dilemma like what to pick between pump and tactical shotguns, well, it really depends on the mode you are playing and your play style.

SMGs and pistols comes as other close-range options. The silenced pistol is strong but the damage level is low. Hence it is suitable for mid-range battles. SMGs are decent and are more compatible than shotguns, especially the tactical variants. But it is better to depend on them only in the early game and also if you don’t have an assault rifle for mid range targets.

3. Fortnite’s best sniper rifle:

The best weapon in the game for long distance targets is the bolt-action sniper rifle. Its bullets has got an enormous power that one bullet can cause 200 damage. It’s a one hit kill action on the enemy. Undoubtedly, this is the one best Fortnite weapon you can go for.

The semi-automatic is a decent backup but its a bad rep. This is preferable when you enter the game as you may fire a lot of shots but the target might not be accurate. Once you got the tap correctly, you can move to the bolt action.

Crossbows comes to use based on the situation. They can create a lot of damage. It is always better to test it before you start picking it and dropping a rifle for it. Also, do not forget that the purple, Epic variant is way too high from the blue, Rare one, making 50% more damage.

4. Fortnite’s best explosives:

Explosives come into picture way too late in the game when all the players start camping in the structures they construct. A rocket can destroy most of those buildings and the splash damage will kill anyone who is inside the house without any doubt.

Rocket launcher becomes your best friend. It travels straight into the building which you aim to. You can choose the weakest bit of a building and fire the beast. It takes care of the rest by killing the enemies. Its highly recommended to be careful with the rocket launcher because there are chances of your own splash damage.

The grenade launcher should be kept as your backup. Its range is far lesser than a rocket launcher and also it cannot be aimed straight. It travels in an arc shape.

5. Fortnite’s best healing items and shields

Small shields are best in terms of what to carry around. These are perfect to help you sustain in fire fights. These grants you 25 shield points, they can only give you a maximum of 50 at a time. The standard shield potions can grant you 50 points but generally you will use them immediately as you see them and hence you won’t be carrying them.

Bandages on hand is always helpful for health. They heal very quickly and this is a huge advantage in the later game. These are the best healing for aggressive players who gets into a lot of fights. Also you can pick med kits which helps in healing fully from dead bodies of your opponents and use them immediately.

Chug Jugs are the can’t say no type healing items because they fully repair both health and shields. It is always recommended to have it in the later game provided if you can find a slot. It essentially helps in doubling the damage you can take by fully healing the health and shields. The only drawback with this is it takes 15 seconds to drink it which makes it difficult to find a safe location to have it.
