Hey gamers! As a hardcore Fortnite player who's been grinding Chapter 6 Season 1 since launch, I gotta say – the return of hitscan weapons feels like reuniting with an old friend after years of projectile chaos! 🎯 This season's arsenal refresh isn't just new paint jobs; it's a complete meta shakeup where even mythics like Shogun X's gear are up for grabs. Everyone’s relearning strategies from scratch, leveling the playing field whether you’re a no-build enthusiast or a box-fighting sweat. But which weapons actually dominate? After testing every bullet and blade, here’s my brutally honest tier breakdown!
🔥 Top-Tier Loadout Kings
- Veiled Precision SMG (S-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 15 | 1.75x |
| Legendary | 19 | 1.75x |
This thing’s a laser beam! With Red-Eye Sight and hitscan accuracy, it melts opponents at close range like a microwave burrito 🥪 – and surprisingly snipes mid-range too. It’s as sneaky as a ninja in a snowstorm, leaving enemies clueless about where the bullets came from. Mythic variant? Even deadlier.
- Sentinel Pump Shotgun (A-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 92 | 1.75x |
| Legendary | 114 | 1.75x |
Slow but OHKO potential! Landing a headshot feels like swinging Mjolnir – as satisfying as popping bubble wrap 💥. Perfect for Zero Build chaos where one clean shot ends fights.
- Surgefire SMG (A-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 11 | 1.5x |
| Legendary | 15 | 1.5x |
Hold the trigger and watch its fire rate skyrocket! With 40 bullets, it shreds builds and health bars alike. Ideal for aggressive pushers 🏃♂️.
⚔️ Niche But Deadly
- Typhoon Blade (B-Tier)
The ONLY melee weapon this season! Ground slams and aerial dashes make it fun, but swinging it feels like trying to control a tornado in a teacup 🌪️. High risk, high reward – find it in Elemental Chests.
- Holo Twister Assault Rifle (B-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 28 | 1.5x |
| Legendary | 34 | 1.5x |
Red-dot sight = mid-range dominance. Less DPS than Fury but way more accurate. Hack train chests for the mythic version!
- Fire Oni Mask (C-Tier)
Lock-on 100-damage fireballs? Cool, but the reload time is brutal 😩. Defeat bosses for the mythic, but it’s situational.
😩 Bottom of the Barrel
- Oni Shotgun (D-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 77 | 1.25x |
| Legendary | 95 | 1.25x |
Only 2 shells? You’ll spend more time reloading than shooting!
- Twinfire Auto Shotgun (D-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 65 | 1.55x |
| Legendary | 79 | 1.55x |
14-shell spam sounds great, but each shot hits like a wet noodle 🍜.
- Fury Assault Rifle (F-Tier)
Stats:
| Rarity | DMG | Headshot Multiplier |
|--------|-----|---------------------|
| Common | 22 | 1.5x |
| Legendary | 26 | 1.5x |
“Mythic” doesn’t mean good. No scope + weak damage = instant drop material. 💀

💭 Final Thoughts
This season’s meta feels like a wild sushi train 🚂 – some weapons are premium tuna, others are stale rice. But beyond tiers, what fascinates me is how hitscan reshapes build fights and positioning.
