🕹Fortnite's Best Weapons | Layer List, Season 7

Discover the tier list of the best weapons in Fortnite Season 7. Find the best classes to chain the Top 1.

Fortnite Battle Royale has become a worldwide phenomenon since its release in 2017. After 10 seasons, Chapter 1 closed on October 13, 2019 with a breathtaking event that only Epic Games has the secret.

Chapter 2 brought a lot of changes to the game and we are already in season 7. Despite the passing of seasons, the premise of Fortnite remains the same. 100 people are parachuting across a map and there should be only one left.

To reach this prestigious Top 1, players can collect weapons from the ground, in chests, or through the exchange of materials. Each has different levels of rarity – Common, Atypical, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic (during certain events) and Exotic.

Statistics depend on scarcity. The higher the rarity, the more effective your weapon. To maximize your chances of winning, therefore, it is in your best interest to optimize your arsenal. Check out our tier list of the best weapons in Fortnite.

Slone's Pulse Rifle

This season 7 alien assault rifle is capable of annihilating your opponents in no time.

Exotic : 38 damage

Specialized shotgun

The Specialty Shotgun is the most effective close range weapon in Fortnite. With a headshot, you can take out your opponent with a single bullet.

Ordinary : 84 damage
Atypical : 92 damage
Raro : 100 damage
Epic: 108 damage
Legendary: 116 damage

single shot sniper rifle

Having a sniper rifle in your arsenal will always give you an edge over your enemies. Be careful around you, there is always a sniper hiding somewhere waiting for you. Every bullet can be fatal.

Raro : 105 damage
Epic: 110 damage
Legendary: 116 damage

Rocket launcher

The rocket launcher is always there to ruin your games and your magnificent builds in Fortnite. His power is still so devastating. Be careful not to overdo it!

Epic: 115 damage
Legendary: 130 damage

Electric cannon

The Railgun is a new fragmented weapon in Season 7. Your trump card? Your laser shot can go through walls of structures!

Rare: 85 damage
Epic: 89 damage
Legendary: 94 damage

SCAR

The famous SCAR is the automatic assault rifle used in Fortnite. Despite successive seasons, the weapon is still powerful in Battle Royale.

Epic: 35 damage
Legendary: 36 damage

layer A

pulse rifle

The pulse rifle is clearly a safe bet in mid and long range. This AR will allow you to hurt your opponents.

Raro : 33 damage
Epic: 35 damage
Legendary: 36 damage

action shotgun lever

The Lever Shotgun is a more balanced version of the Specialist. The weapon does slightly less damage but has a better rate of fire.

Ordinary : 93,6 damage
Atypical : 98,1 damage
Raro : 103,5 damage
Epic: 108,9 damage
Legendary: 114,3 damage

Submachine gun

The SMG is the best in its class. Your rate of fire is your main asset. This will eliminate your opponents very quickly.

Ordinary : 16 damage
Atypical : 17 damage
Raro : 18 damage
Epic: 19 damage
Legendary: 20 damage

layer B

night eagle

The exotic revolver is an interesting weapon thanks to its scope. Its 6-round magazine will allow you to take down your opponent with just a few shots.

Backpacker

The improved revolver has formidable firepower, but its speed is quite slow, which prevents the weapon from becoming OP.

Epic: 75 damage
Legendary: 78 damage

tactical shotgun

The semi-automatic shotgun is less powerful than the specialized shotgun, but has a better rate of fire. If you prefer a faster, more maneuverable bomb, this is the tactic for you.

Ordinary : 72 damage
Atypical : 76 damage
Raro : 80 damage
Epic: 84 damage
Legendary: 88 damage

assault rifle

The classic assault rifle that you can easily find on the floor and in all chests. This will save you from the start of the game, but you'll have to quickly find your variant, which does the most damage.

Ordinary : 30 damage
Atypical : 31 damage
Raro : 33 damage

Scout sniper rifle

Like every exotic weapon, the Scout Sniper Rifle has a hidden ability. Your scope contains a weather map capable of revealing the next storm circle before it appears on the map!

Exotic : 85 damage

rapid fire submachine gun

The rate of fire of the second submachine gun is insane. But it lacks precision and can be costly during combat.

Ordinary : 13 damage
Atypical : 14 damage
Raro : 15 damage
Epic: 16 damage
Legendary: 17 damage

Dark Tracker pistol

This pistol is currently one of the only silent weapons in the game. Perfect for sneaking up behind your enemies shooting them without them knowing where your shots are coming from.

Exotic : 29 damage

C layer

Explosive Assault Rifle

The Famas is a relatively efficient semi-automatic assault rifle. However, this is not the best recommended choice for ARs.

Ordinary : 31 damage
Atypical : 32 damage
Raro : 34 damage

Heavy Assault Rifle (AK)

We passed the AK-47. Far from being useless, the Kalashnikov is also not a recommended assault rifle for Fortnite.

Ordinary : 33 damage
Atypical : 35 damage
Raro : 37 damage

Gun

Don't you like it when you open a chest and fall on the gun? Well, so are we! Epic Games can't just add good weapons.

Ordinary : 24 damage
Atypical : 25 damage
Raro : 26 damage

machine gun silenced

This submachine gun is clearly not the most effective, but at least it has the merit of being discreet.

Ordinary : 20 damage
Atypical : 21 damage
Raro : 22 damage

Elite Six Shots

If you want to play her as a cowboy, this gun is clearly for you. But it's certainly not that you'll do your best.

Exotic: 24 damage

layer D

Pickaxe

The Pickaxe isn't really a weapon to fight in Fortnite, but it can be used in certain cases, like for example taking out enemies on the ground to save their bullets... or even trolling your opponent in the final duel for real victory.
