The Fortnite OG loot pool presents a unique challenge, with both powerful and less effective weapons. Mastering this arsenal is key to victory, especially considering the evolving meta as the season progresses and new weapons are introduced.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan mechanics makes Assault Rifles potent in Fortnite OG. However, bloom inconsistencies impact accuracy. The standard Assault Rifle generally outperforms others, especially considering the Scoped Assault Rifle's misaligned scope.

Assault Rifle

Its manageable bloom, ample magazine, and decent damage make the Assault Rifle a reliable choice at all ranges. The legendary variant is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

The three-round burst and high bloom make this weapon unreliable and less effective than the standard Assault Rifle.

Scoped Assault Rifle

Despite first-person aiming, the bullet inaccuracy significantly hinders its effectiveness.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns dominate close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG due to their high damage output and fast firing rate. The "Double Pump" technique (rapidly switching between two Pump Shotguns) is particularly devastating.

Pump Shotgun

The 2.5x headshot multiplier makes it capable of instant kills. The Double Pump strategy mitigates its reload time.

Tactical Shotgun

Its higher fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier offer a safer, albeit less powerful, alternative to the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as early-game weapons, generally not viable in late-game encounters.

Semi-Auto Pistol

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

Revolver

A higher-damage pistol with noticeable recoil, impacting 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 makes it less reliable than the Suppressed Submachine Gun.

Submachine Gun

High fire rate but poor accuracy and ammo consumption make it less desirable.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

High damage and 2.5x headshot multiplier, but limited magazine size.

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, but slow fire rate.

Grenade Launcher

Multiple grenades for area denial, but lower damage per projectile.

Grenade

Versatile for structure destruction and area denial.

All Fortnite OG Traps

Traps offer defensive and offensive capabilities.

Launch Pad

Provides mobility for escaping danger or reaching high ground.

Ceiling Zapper

Instantly downs or eliminates players who pass underneath.

Wall Dynamo

Similar to the Ceiling Zapper, but placed on walls.

Damage Trap

Deals damage to players stepping on it.

Directional Jump Pad

Provides horizontal or vertical mobility.

All Fortnite OG Consumables/Items

Consumables are essential for healing and survival.

Bandage

Quickly restores health up to 75.

Med Kit

Restores full health, but the animation can be interrupted.

Shield Potion

Slowly restores shields.

Slurp Juice

Restores both health and shields simultaneously.

Bush
