Fortnite’s strongest weapons have been updated for Season 3, Chapter 4, thanks to the game’s revamped loot system and new arsenal. But even if that were the case, the most remarkable aspect would be the treasure pool you now have access to, which is full of previously unvaulted and brand-new weaponry. FlapJack Rifle and MK-Alpha have brought back the pray-and-spray meta, but the Thermal DMR has shown to be a reliable long-range weapon. Why keep waiting? Let’s find the finest weapons in Fortnite Season 3 now!
Since the release of Chapter 4 of Season 3 in June 2023, thanks to player comments, statistics, and in-game experiences with Fortnite weaponry, we’ve compiled quite the tier list. The finest weapons you can use right now in Fortnite Season 3, Chapter 4 are:
- Kinetic Boomerang
- Havoc Pump Shotgun
- FlapJack Rifle
- Drum Shotgun
- Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle
- Combat SMG
- MK-Alpha Assault Rifle
- Tactical Pistol
- Thermal DMR
Listed here are the various levels of weapons, along with their respective statistics and a brief description of how they could be. Note that the S Tier is the best, whereas the C Tier is best if avoided from time to time.
S Tier Weapons
After being unvaulted this season, the frequently utilized Drum Shotgun becomes once again the second most powerful shotgun in Fortnite, behind only the Pump Shotgun. The shotgun’s remarkably high damage and high rate of fire make it an excellent close-range weapon.
A Tier Weapons
Going on further, we have the FlapJack Rifle with a high rate of fire and damage that will quickly dispose of any opposition. It’s almost as excellent as the Havoc Suppressed AR, legendary for its scarcity and range. Neat!
B Tier Weapons
The Heisted Accelerant Shotgun is obviously preferable to the Drum Shotgun here, but only if you don’t have to spend keys on opening a Holo-Chest to gain one.
C Tier Weapons
While the Maven Auto Shotgun’s statistics are impressive, and it is undoubtedly a faster-firing choice, it lacks the power of the Drum or the Havoc Pump. The Heisted Breacher is a shotgun designed for use at greater distances than standard models; however, at that point, you might as well use an assault rifle.
