2 – Hydra
This Legendary Hydraulic Assault Rifle is similar to a shotgun but with more focused fire, longer range, and high impact. It comes with fixed perks which could be better or worse. It’s a hybrid weapon that fires a tight cluster of pellets, with considerably more knockback than an assault rifle, but better range and more focused damage than a shotgun.
2- Buzzcut
This Legendary Scavenger Assault Rifle is similar to the Hunter-Killer but with much better stats. Similarly, DPS depends on how fast you pull the trigger.

It’s a burst-fire tactical assault rifle featuring a scope. Good damage and impact at long range, but consumes a lot of ammunition. Though comes in a single fire also.
3 – Razorblade
This Legendary Burst Rifle deserves a spot solely based on how much raw stats this guy has. Ultimately, similar to a Siegebreaker. It’s an burst assault rifle that fires tight bursts that allow for precise targeting in mobile and mid-range engagements. Deals good damage, but consumes its magazine very quickly.
Best Pistols in Fortnite:
1 – Viper
This Legendary Auto Pistol is Essentially the pistol version of a Siegebreaker, but with more stats. It is an absolute nightmare for ammo conservation though. The Viper sprays bullets at an extreme rate, dealing punishing damage. Quick to reload and good for running combat, but ammo hungry and ineffective beyond close range.
2 – Dragon’s Breath
This Legendary Dragon Pistol is basically a Shotgun with the highest damage per shot on a pistol. This gun scales with Deadeye, it has small magazines that result in long down-times unfortunately. The Dragon’s Breach is a part double-barrel shotgun, part pistol, and part DRAGON. Fires a wide blast of pellets at close range for extreme damage and knockback. Slow to reload.
2 – Judge
This Legendary Handcannon Pistol is like the Dragon’s Breath with less raw stats but a lot more consistent due to reasonable magazine size. It has great impact damage allowing for fairly high stagger rate. The Judge is a slow-firing revolver that fires powerful rounds that deal heavy damage and knock back targets. Accurate out to mid range.
3 – Bolt Bolt
This Legendary Bolt Revolver Pistol has some Raw stats that are pretty low but the ability to pierce makes this pistol very decent.
Best Shotguns in Fortnite:
1 – Tigerjaw
This Legendary Auto Shotgun has possibly highest burst DPS in the entire game. Downside is that it chews through ammo and has a short range.
1 – Room Sweeper
This Legendary Heavy Shotgun is like the Tigerjaw with lesser damage per shot but instead you get a bigger magazine. This way you get more shots and less downtime from reloading.
2 – Pumeller
This Legendary Hydraulic Shotgun is like the short range Shredder with slightly less damage but it carries much more impact.
3 – Thunderbolt
This Legendary Break Action Shotgun has terrible raw stats. However the ability to do spread damage makes this weapon very versatile for clearing trash mobs. But only if you aren’t willing to invest in rockets.
Best Snipers in Fortnite:
1 – Super Shredder
This Legendary Shredder Sniper shoots like a long range shotgun with virtually zero bullet spread. It’s amazing at killing single targets.
2 – One-Shot
This Legendary Scoped Bolt Action Sniper has a high damage per shot. Coupled with its ability to pierce targets makes this an absolute nightmare for husks going down a funnel.
2 – Sunsetter
This Legendary Scavenger Sniper is essentially the One-Shot but has less durability. However the Sunsetter has a reduced crafting cost compared to the One-Shot.
3 – Tsunami
This Legendary Hydraulic Sniper does slightly less damage as its counterparts but has a high impact at long range which gives it enough of a niche to make it to this list. The Tsunami is a n accurate semi-auto rifle that deals good damage and very high knockback.
Best Launcher in Fortnite:
1 – Bazooka
This Legendary Rocket Launcher has a high single shot damage and that is really what you look for in these types of weapons and this weapon delivers that. The high impact makes it such that everything that doesn’t die gets knocked down. The Bazooka has a moderate radius and does not consume ammo, but has very low durability.
2 – Thumper
