Fortnite OG presents a unique challenge with its original map and weapon selection. Mastering this loot pool is essential for victory, especially considering the return of weapons from later seasons will significantly alter the meta.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
The return of hitscan mechanics makes Assault Rifles potent in Fortnite OG. However, weapon bloom can be problematic. The standard Assault Rifle is generally preferred due to its manageable bloom and consistent performance. The Scoped Assault Rifle, while offering first-person aiming, suffers from inaccurate bullet trajectory.
Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 5.5 | 5.5 | 5.5 | 5.5 | 5.5 |
| Reload Time | 2.75s | 2.625s | 2.5s | 2.375s | 2.25s |
| Structure DMG | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |
Its reliable damage and manageable bloom make the Assault Rifle a staple. The legendary variant is particularly powerful.
Burst Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 27 | 29 | 30 | 36 | 37 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 4.06 | 4.06 | 4.06 | 3.69 | 3.69 |
| Reload Time | 2.75s | 2.62s | 2.5s | 2.38s | 2.25s |
| Structure DMG | 27 | 29 | 34 | 36 | 37 |
The 3-round burst and high bloom make this a less reliable choice.
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 |
First-person aiming is its advantage, but inaccurate bullet trajectory significantly hinders its effectiveness.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns dominate close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG. The "double pump" technique (rapidly switching between two Pump Shotguns) was a powerful, albeit controversial, 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 |
High damage and the potential for instant kills with headshots make this a formidable weapon. Double pumping maximizes its effectiveness.
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 |
Higher fire rate makes it safer to use than the Pump Shotgun, but less powerful per shot.
All Fortnite OG Pistols
Pistols serve as early-game weapons, generally not viable in the late game.
Semi-Auto Pistol
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 24 | 25 | 26 |
| Magazine | 16 | 16 | 16 |

| Reload Time | 1.5s | 1.47s | 1.4s |
| Structure DMG | 24 | 25 | 26 |
High fire rate but low damage makes it suitable only for early game encounters.
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 |
Higher damage than the Semi-Auto Pistol, but significant recoil makes accuracy challenging.
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

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Suppressed fire and decent damage make it the best SMG option.
Tactical Submachine Gun
| Rarity | Uncommon | Rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 16 | 17 | 18 |
| Magazine | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 10 | 10 | 10 |

| Magazine | 1 | 1 | 1 |

| Reload Time | 3s | 2.9s | 2.7s |
| Structure DMG | 105 | 110 | 116 |
High damage and headshot multiplier make it a powerful one-shot weapon, but slow reload.
Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
| Rarity | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|
| Damage | 63 | 66 |
| Magazine | 10 | 10 |
| Fire Rate | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Reload Time | 2.5s | 2.3s |
