The Semi-Auto Sniper is going to be a great weapon of choice for early games due to its high spawn rate. While at first, it might not seem all that powerful due to its reasonably slower fire rate compared to Assault Rifles, it’s going to more than make up for it with each pull of the trigger that hits a target.
The damage to the body is going to hurt, but a headshot comes with a 2.5x multiplier that’s bound to devastate and annihilate. Picking off targets with ease with a sharp eye is definitely going to benefit those running the field with this rifle.

If players want to look cool, then look no further than the Dual Pistols. Nothing is more cinematic and cool than playing as a favorite character and running around with two pistols in hand, allowing for double the trouble when it comes to laying down the rules of war in Battle Royale.
The Dual Pistols might not benefit from great range, but the fact that two pistols can be fired rapidly together makes close-range engagements a hard fight to lose, especially with a trained eye hitting those powerful headshots.

A classic that’s been gone for too long, the Submachine Gun impresses with its fast rate of fire, high magazine size, and consistently great recoil control, making for a must-have weapon when it comes to close-range engagements, and medium-range engagements at a stretch.

Fortnite Remix: Hidden Mechanics
Fortnite is a game that’s constantly evolving, and as such, players might have missed these hidden mechanics that could see them claim Victory Royale.
The Submachine Gun is a classic across all metas, and its fast reload really benefits from one fight to another with rapid succession. It’s a hard weapon to miss due to its common status, and even those with a shotgun might fear its DPS output.

Despite its necessity for extremely close-range combat, the Tactical Shotgun can hit places faster and harder than the Pump Shotgun can ever dream, and that’s due to its reliable DPS output that doesn’t require a constant stream of headshots, even if the generous pellet spread will ensure that every shot is basically a headshot.
In the right hands, the Tactical Shotgun can provide continuous bursts of hard-hitting damage that will destroy those who dare engage in warfare, and those lucky enough to get an Epic or Legendary rarity of the Tactical Shotgun will impress with their effective pellets that destroy all within a very close range.

A return to the OG seasons of Fortnite means a return to the classics, and it doesn’t get more classic than the unbeatable and the original Assault Rifle, which benefits like no other from the return of hitscan weapons. The Assault Rifle has a generous bloom to allow consistent damage at any range.

With a smaller-sized Battle Royale map like Chapter 2’s Remix, a Sniper Rifle can be deadly, especially with open spaces and a lack of cover found in Zero Build modes. That’s exactly where the Bolt-Action comes in, as while it may chamber just a single shot, it’s enough to devastate and instantly eliminate anyone.
The aided projectile shooting of the nostalgic Remix season aids the use of Sniper Rifles, making them a dominant force in any lethal engagement. Whether it’s medium range or long range, those who have the sniper can easily come out on top with just one shot.
