Fortnite OG features a distinct weapon and item set, demanding careful consideration of each item's strengths and weaknesses. The return of hitscan weapons significantly impacts the gameplay, while the unique characteristics of OG weapons will shape your strategic approach.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
Assault Rifles are highly effective in Fortnite OG, especially considering the return of hitscan mechanics. However, weapon bloom can be a significant factor.
Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |

| Reload Time | 2.75s | 2.625s | 2.5s | 2.375s | 2.25s |
| Structure DMG | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |
The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and decent damage make it a reliable choice across various combat ranges.
Burst Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 27 | 29 | 30 | 36 | 37 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |

| Reload Time | 2.75s | 2.62s | 2.5s | 2.38s | 2.25s |
| Structure DMG | 27 | 29 | 34 | 36 | 37 |
The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom make it less reliable than the standard Assault Rifle.
Scoped Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 23 | 24 | 37 |
| Magazine | 20 | 20 | 20 |
| Fire Rate | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 |
| Reload Time | 2.3s | 2.2s | 2.07s |
| Structure DMG | 23 | 24 | 37 |
The Scoped Assault Rifle offers first-person aiming, but its bullet trajectory deviates from the crosshair, impacting accuracy.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns are dominant in close-quarters combat due to their high damage output and rapid fire rate. The "Double Pump" technique (quickly switching between two Pump Shotguns) is a particularly effective tactic.
Pump Shotgun
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 90 | 95 | 110 | 119 | 128 |
| Magazine | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Fire Rate | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Reload Time | 4.8s | 4.6s | 4.4s | 4.2s | 4s |
| Structure DMG | 90 | 95 | 110 | 119 | 128 |
The Pump Shotgun's high headshot multiplier makes it capable of instant kills. The Double Pump strategy minimizes reload downtime.
Tactical Shotgun
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 67 | 70 | 74 |
| Magazine | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Fire Rate | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| Reload Time | 6.3s | 6s | 5.7s |
| Structure DMG | 67 | 70 | 74 |
The Tactical Shotgun's faster fire rate makes it a safer, albeit less powerful, alternative to the Pump Shotgun.
All Fortnite OG Pistols
Pistols are suitable early-game weapons but generally less effective in later stages.
Semi-Auto Pistol
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 24 | 25 | 26 |
| Magazine | 16 | 16 | 16 |
| Fire Rate | 6.8 | 6.8 | 6.8 |
| Reload Time | 1.5s | 1.47s | 1.4s |
| Structure DMG | 24 | 25 | 26 |
The Semi-Auto Pistol's high fire rate is offset by its relatively low damage and significant damage falloff.
Revolver
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 54 | 57 | 60 | 63 | 66 |
| Magazine | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| Fire Rate | 0.9 | 0.9 | 0.9 | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Reload Time | 2.2s | 2.1s | 2s | 1.9s | 1.8s |
| Structure DMG | 54 | 57 | 60 | 63 | 66 |
The Revolver delivers higher damage than the Semi-Auto Pistol, but its recoil and bloom can hinder accuracy.
All Fortnite OG SMGs
SMGs excel in close-range combat but lack the damage and range to compete with other weapon types at longer distances.
Suppressed Submachine Gun
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 17 | 18 | 19 | 23 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |

| Reload Time | 2.2s | 2.1s | 2s | 1.9s |
| Structure DMG | 17 | 18 | 19 | 23 |
The Suppressed Submachine Gun's suppression and headshot multiplier make it the most effective SMG.
Tactical Submachine Gun
| Rarity | Uncommon | Rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 16 | 17 | 18 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Reload Time | 2.4s | 2.3s | 2.2s |

| Fire Rate | 15 | 15 | 15 |
| Reload Time | 2.2s | 2.1s | 2s |

|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 105 | 110 | 116 |

| Reload Time | 3s | 2.9s | 2.7s |
| Structure DMG | 105 | 110 | 116 |
The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle's high headshot multiplier allows for one-shot eliminations. Its single-shot magazine necessitates careful shot placement.
Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

| Magazine | 10 | 10 |
| Fire Rate | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Reload Time | 2.5s | 2.3s |
| Structure DMG | 75 | 78 |
The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle's faster fire rate and larger magazine offer more opportunities for damage, but it requires more shots for an elimination.

Explosives are effective for destroying structures and eliminating opponents caught in the open.
Rocket Launcher
| Rarity | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|

| Reload Time | 3.60s | 3.06s | 2.52s |

The Rocket Launcher's high damage and splash radius make it devastating, but its slow fire rate and single-shot magazine require precise aiming.
