Fortnite Season 8 Weapons Tier List
Tier 1
The weapons in this list are the ones you can trust blindly.
However, if you manage to use them correctly, you'll end up bagging a kill in every gunfight.
Although the chances of getting a victory royale depend highly upon how you use these weapons in a gunfight, you will stand a chance of winning if you use them properly.
- MK-Seven Assault Rifle
- Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
Tier 2
The weapons in this tier are reliable as well, but there's a slight learning curve.
Although these weapons are good, not everyone will run for these weapons in the first instance.
- Sidearm Pistol
- Auto Shotgun
- Stinger SMG
Tier 3
These weapons are the ones that most loopers stay away from.
Loopers go for these weapons when there are not many alternatives left.
Some of these weapons do pack a punch, but then again, they're either difficult to use, their accuracy is all over the place, or there are just better options.
- Striker Pump Shotgun
- Ranger Assuault Rifle
No Tier
There are some weapons/items in the game that are more functional tools than actual offensive weapons. Items Tents that allow players to rest or even store weapons and items for a future match are really useful, and more often than not worth keeping an inventory slot open for!
The Best Weapon for the Job
And that is our weapons tier list for Fortnite Season 1.
However, do not let this list influence your own opinions about the guns in Fortnite.

Players should see what works best for them.
It is always possible to snag a Victory Royale with Tier 3 weapons.
Fortnite is a game about luck and skill.
May the RNG gods be in your favor, and let us hope for some awesome new weapons in Season 8!
