All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are highly effective in Fortnite OG, especially considering the return of hitscan weapons. However, bloom can be an issue with some variants.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's consistent performance across all ranges makes it a staple weapon. The Legendary variant is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom make it less reliable than the standard Assault Rifle.

Scoped Assault Rifle

While offering first-person aiming, the bullet trajectory inconsistency makes this weapon less accurate.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns reign supreme in close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG. The "Double Pump" technique (rapidly switching between two Pump Shotguns) is a powerful tactic.

Pump Shotgun

High headshot damage makes this a potent close-range weapon. The Double Pump strategy maximizes its effectiveness.

Tactical Shotgun

Its higher fire rate makes the Tactical Shotgun a safer, more consistent option than the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols are decent early-game weapons but generally less effective in the late game.

Semi-Auto Pistol

A common starting weapon with a high fire rate but significant damage drop-off.

Revolver

Higher damage than the Semi-Auto Pistol, but significant recoil affects accuracy.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs are effective at close range but lack the damage output of shotguns and the range of assault rifles.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

The best SMG option due to its suppression and damage falloff at 20 meters.

Tactical Submachine Gun

Inconsistent fire rate can make it unpredictable in close-quarters combat.

Submachine Gun

High fire rate but poor accuracy and high ammo consumption.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

High damage and headshot multiplier make this a powerful weapon, despite the single-shot magazine.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Faster fire rate and larger magazine compared to the Bolt-Action, but lower damage per shot.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are crucial for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

High damage and splash radius make it effective against structures and players.

Grenade Launcher

Multiple grenades provide area denial and structure destruction.

Grenade

A versatile projectile for area denial and structure damage.

Traps add a strategic element to Fortnite OG gameplay.

Launch Pad

Provides vertical mobility for escaping or gaining height.

Ceiling Zapper

Electrocutes players who pass underneath.

Wall Dynamo

Electrocutes players who touch the wall.

Damage Trap

Deals damage to players who step on it.

Directional Jump Pad

Provides horizontal or vertical mobility.

All Fortnite OG Consumables/Items

Consumables are essential for healing and survival.
