• Rarity: Mythic
• DPS: 218.5 
• Magazine: 30

Offers impeccable control and accuracy, making it probably the best weapon at close range unless you prefer using a shotgun.

• Rarity: Mythic
• DPS: 218.5 
• Magazine: 5
• Reload Time: 2.25

Probably the best shotgun in the game if you invest the time in learning how to use it. It is a devastating choice for close-range encounters, capable of reloading all shells at once for rapid, successive shots. 

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 129.2 - 156.4 
• Magazine: 3
• Reload Time: 2.75 - 2.25

Fast firing and capable of reloading all shells at once. A solid choice for close combat. It is the best shotgun if you are good at using it. If not, the Frenzy Auto Shotgun is the better choice.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 161.5 - 199.5
• Magazine: 30
• Reload Time: 2.9 - 2.3

Requires precision but rewards with devastating damage. We recommend using it with mods that reduce the recoil. 

• Rarity: Mythic
• DPS: 223.2
• Magazine: 35
• Reload Time: 2.98

Comes pre-modded for immediate action, excelling at medium and long-range engagements. Crazy good stats with a very fast time to kill but its recoil makes it harder to handle.

• Rarity: Mythic
• DPS: 109.5
• Magazine: 7
• Reload Time: 2.17

A fast-shooting DMR, great as a sniper substitute with automatic fire capability. The only downside is that you have to kill Zeus to get it.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 158.4 - 198
• Magazine: 15
• Reload Time: 1.65 - 1.35

Operates more like an SMG with its rapid fire rate. Becomes incredibly deadly when equipped with full mods. 

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 159.12 - 192.27
• Magazine: 27
• Reload Time: 2.47 - 2.03

A powerful burst SMG that can engage at medium range with a scope mod, despite its vertical recoil. Better alternative to the Harbinger SMG if you prefer the burst firing mode.

• Rarity: Uncommon - Legendary
• Damage: 105 - 121 
• Magazine: 3
• Reload Time: 3.68 - 3.15

The only sniper rifle in Fortnite, perfect for long-range precision shots. Perfect weapon for 1-shot headshot kills if you have a good aim.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 172.8 - 216
• Magazine: 35
• Reload Time: 3.9 - 3.2

A reliable medium-range weapon that benefits greatly from recoil stabilizing mods.

• Rarity: Uncommon - Legendary
• DPS: 89.06 - 102.2
• Magazine: 7
• Reload Time: 2.7 - 2.3

 A viable long-range option with automatic fire, improved with a scope. Depending on the equipped mods, it can become as deadly as a Sniper Rifle.

• Rarity: Rare - Legendary
• DPS: 170.1 - 186.3
• Magazine: 30
• Reload Time: 3 - 2.7

Now classified as an SMG, it's easier to control than its counterparts but less powerful.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 145 - 175
• Magazine: 28
• Reload Time: 2.75 - 2.25

 A jack-of-all-trades assault rifle with moderate firepower, suitable for most situations.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 152.5 - 187.5
• Magazine: 8 
• Reload Time: 5.17 - 4.23

Beginner-friendly with a high rate of fire, though outclassed by faster weapons at close range. If you run out of bullets, you will probably die due to its super long reload time.

• Rarity: Common - Legendary
• DPS: 58.8 - 72.1
• Magazine: 8
• Reload Time: 5.77 - 4.73

The worst shotgun in the game. It lacks the versatility and power of other close-range weapons, making it a less desirable option. However, it is still better than having no weapon at all.

• Rarity: Mythic
• Damage: 80 - 80 - 140
• Magazine: 3
• Cooldown: 8

 Offers high damage potential but leaves the user vulnerable. It is best used from high ground with precision aiming.

• Rarity: Epic
• DPS: 60
• Magazine: 300
• Cooldown: 2.75 - 2.25

While it is not a weapon per se, it can still deal 60 damage with its dive bomb ability. We suggest using it mainly as a mobility tool to move around the map.
