With the return of hitscan in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, understanding headshot damage is crucial for victory. Headshot damage varies significantly by weapon type and rarity. Some weapons offer a clear advantage, quickly eliminating opponents.

The table below details the headshot damage for every weapon in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, helping you choose the most effective weapon for your strategy.

All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
42	44	47	50	51	54

25	25	25	25	25	25
5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55
2.80s	2.67s	2.55s	2.42s	2.29s	2.17s

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle excels in Chapter 6 Season 1 due to its low recoil and effective scope, making it easy to land hits thanks to its hitscan mechanics and high fire rate.

Fury Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
33	35	36	38	39	42
22	23	24	25	26	28

2.91s	2.78s	2.65s	2.52s	2.38s	2.25s

Ideal for short to medium range, the Fury Assault Rifle's rapid fire rate is advantageous, but its lower damage and recoil can be challenging to manage.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
46	48	51	54	56	58
31	32	34	36	37	39

4	4	4	4	4	4
2.75s	2.625s	2.5s	2.375s	2.25s	2.125s

While boasting the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, the Ranger Assault Rifle's lack of scope and recoil can make it less reliable than the Holo Twister.

2.42s	2.31s	2.2s	2.09s	1.98s	1.87s

The Oni Shotgun's high damage and fast fire rate are effective, but its limited two-shot capacity often requires follow-up shots.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

100	105	110	115	120	125
65	72	76	79	83	86

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun's large magazine and fast fire rate make it a reliable option, offering comparable headshot damage to the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

5.39s	5.14s	4.9s	4.66s	4.41s	4.16s

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage output among shotguns, potentially one-shotting opponents with a headshot at Legendary rarity. However, its slow fire rate is a significant drawback.

		31	25	12	15	1.76s

The Lock On Pistol, a less common weapon, fires four shots at once after locking onto a target. Consistent headshots require precise short bursts.
