The lock-on rocket launcher.

You know that time when it’s the end of the game and you’re surrounded by bushes. The enemy is nowhere to be seen and you’re scared for your life. Or maybe the time when you leave an enemy on 1hp and he runs away in a car, leaving you frustrated. Well, the Anvil Rocket Launcher is great for these scenarios since it locks onto the target, leaving nowhere to run for the enemy.

What makes Anvil Rocket Launcher Great:

  • Lock-on ability to ensure the rocket hits every time.
  • 100-110 high damage to players depending on rarity.
  • Very high vehicle damage to ensure no enemy gets away.

If you are a decent sniper then this gun is the best you can get in Fortnite currently. It has high damage shots ranging from 120-132 on the body, and 180-198 on headshots, depending on rarity. If you have an enemy being sneaky in his builds or a house, one shot from this bad boy will destroy whatever structure it hits in one shot; due to insanely high structure damage. This can be used to catch enemies off guard.  

What makes Heavy Sniper Rifle great:

Classic fortnite rifle with the army look.

The OG pump reworked.

This is the modern pump shotgun of Fortnite, the OGs will know what I’m talking about. But even if you are a new player, this is a pump-action shotgun. This gun is the best gun to fight with at extremely close ranges due to its tight spread and high damage. Trust me, you won’t look good shooting with this at an enemy any further than 20 meters.

Easy to find.
Tight bullet spread.

One of the fastest shooters.

If you want a fast-firing SMG with decent damage at close range, this is your gun. It's very easy to find and can deal lots of damage in a very short amount of time. Do remember though, that the high damage and fire rate do come at the cost of high recoil. If you don’t have a large mousepad, maybe think twice before using this smg.

What makes Combat SMG great:

  • Very high fire rate.
  • Very high DPS.
  • Easy to find.
  • Large magazine size.

4. Striker Burst Rifle (Best For Mid-Long Range)

If one shot wasn't deadly enough, how about two at the same time?

This burst AR is the strongest AR for long ranges and even has a mythic version. It shoots two bullets at a time and deals strong amounts of damage per hit. Since two bullets are fired at a time, you usually would deal twice the damage as other ARs since both the bullets have a chance of hitting. This gives the AR a higher DPS and makes the kill time shorter.

What makes Striker Burst Rifle great:

  • Shoots two bullets at a time.
  • High damage shots.
  • High fire rate.
  • Easy to find.
