Shockwave Hammer	125	10 seconds	4
Assault Rifle	198	2.2 seconds	30
Twin Mag SMG	260	1.3 seconds	20

Since there is no proper and good sniper, the DMR definitely takes back its place on the 1st place. The Shockwave hammer, on the other hand is new in this game. If you are looking for a close range damage type of weapon, then, we highly recommend the Twin Mag SMG and if you want a classic weapon, then, the assault rifle is the one for you.

Fortnite A Tier Weapons

Weapon	DPS	Reload Time	Mag Size
Red-Eye Assault Rifle	140	2.25 seconds	25
Ex-Caliber Rifle	40.3	4.9 seconds	3
Rocket Launcher	97.5	2.52 seconds	1
Tactical Pistol	190.4	1.3 seconds	15

Though the MK Seven Assault Rifle is no longer included in the list of weapons, definitely, it has been compensated with the arrival of the Red-Eye Assault Rifle. It is easy to use with its red-dot target and it is definitely as almost as good as the MK-Seven.

The Ex-Caliber Rifle on the other hand comes with firing swords which would stick itself to your opponents and explode. Though this weapon is difficult to master, it is definitely lethal.

Fortnite B Tier Weapons

Weapon	DPS	Reload Time	Mag Size
Machine SMG	238.5	2.2 seconds	33
Thunder Shotgun	89.68	5.3 seconds	8

The Machine SMG is definitely back and though it is not the best SMG, it is fast in terms of speed firing which makes it worth it. When it comes to shotguns, unfortunately, for this season, it is not great. Though you could give huge damage with its two rounds at a time, it is slow.

Fortnite C Tier Weapons

Weapon	DPS	Reload Time	Mag Size
Maven Auto Shotgun	131.6	4.72 seconds	6
Combat Shotgun	112.2	4.7 seconds	8

Though Maven Auto Shotgun looks good in terms of its statistics in terms of speed of firing option, its power is not that impressive. The Combat Shotgun, on the other hand, is designed for longer range combat. It could be used as an assault rifle as well.
