Seven new weapons were introduced to the game, including the new Shockwave Hammer. The popular assault rifle has returned in Chapter 4. Naturally, players need to know the best weapons to outmaneuver all opponents on the map. Here are the best weapons to use in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

The best weapons to use in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

Double mag submachine gun

The Twin Mag SMG is brilliant at close range, but falls short in ranged engagements. This weapon has a rate of fire of 13, with a reload time of 1.3s. Each magazine of this weapon contains 20 rounds of light ammunition. The epic rarity Twin Mag SMG deals 19 body shots and 28.5 headshot damage. Players who prefer to use an SMG over shotguns for close range engagements should definitely go with the Twin Mag SMG. This weapon can be acquired from loot and ground chests.

Thunder Shotgun

The Thunder shotgun is a pump-action weapon that fires two rounds at once. While the Pump Shotgun remains vaulted, players will find this weapon to be the best weapon to use for close range fights. The weapon does not have a high rate of fire like the Maven Auto Shotgun, but does do more damage. Players who love to maneuver and destroy their opponents in melee combat will have a blast with the Thunder Shotgun in Chapter 4. You'll find this weapon as ground loot and in chests.

Assault rifle

The Assault Rifle has been retired after a long time and is one of the best weapons to use this season. Its high accuracy and easy-to-control recoil make it efficient at medium and long range. The Assault Rifle also has tight spread of fire from the hip, making it useful at close range if you don't have another weapon. You will find the Assault Rifle as ground loot and in different types of chests. We highly recommend upgrading this weapon to a legendary rarity by spending gold bars at upgrade stations.

ex caliber rifle

The Ex-Caliber Rifle is a semi-automatic weapon that fires a ballistic blade at enemies. This projectile explodes after a few seconds, damaging everything around it. Opponents will take 75 damage if the projectile hits them, and 75 more if they get caught in the blast radius. The Mythic variant of the Ex-Caliber Rifle can be acquired by defeating the Eternal Champion. Players will find this weapon as ground loot, in chests, and also in Oathbound chests.

DMR

The DMR is perhaps the best option for long-range combat in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1. This weapon has a scope, making it the perfect weapon for hunting down opponents at medium to long range. The DMR also has a better rate of fire than the Ex-Caliber rifle, making it a good choice for this season. Players will get this weapon from loot and ground chests. Be sure to account for bullet drop by adjusting your aim while engaging in long-range fights.
