Weapons in Fortnite BR

This page has a list of weapons and weapon stats in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Use this to plan what weapon to use in every situation.

Note that same weapons have different stats for different rarities.

Damage to structures

Unlike player damage, structure damage does not differ based on rarity. [1]

Aside from shotguns, range does not affect structure damage.

An explosion does the same damage to every object it hit.

Shotguns do less damage as you get further away from a structure. They also do less damage if some pellets miss the structure. The structure damage listed for each shotgun in the tables below are for maximum possible damage.

A weapon does the same damage to every type of structure.
