Moreover, the Rocket Launcher is still around which definitely is a relief.

The ranking of weapons has been created through account stats, community feedback and in-game experiences. Each and every weapon have been categorized into tiers with stats and description of their performance. Keep in mind that the S tier it the best and the C tier is a category which you would not want acquire and use.
S Tier Weapons

| 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.
