Best OG Weapons Tier List Criteria

The weapons are ranked according to firepower, accuracy and handling, and time-to-kill (TTK) in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 1. The list and the criteria itself may be re-evaluated as more weapons become available on release.

Tier List Overview

1. Assault Rifle

Assault Rifle
Where to Find	Chests; Floor Loot
Type	Assault Rifle

The classic Assault Rifle remains the all-around weapon for medium to long-range combat. As one of the most iconic Fortnite guns, the Gold SCAR excels at medium range due to its pinpoint accuracy and decent rate of fire, making it a reliable option for most encounters.

2. Pump Shotgun

Pump Shotgun
Where to Find	Chests; Floor Loot
Type	Shotgun

Yes, you can do the infamous Double Pump strategy with Pump Shotguns once again. This shotgun dominates in close-quarters combat thanks to its high single-shot damage and solid hip-fire accuracy.

3. Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
Where to Find	Chests; Floor Loot
Type	Sniper

With Snipers absent in Chapter 6, the return of the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is a welcome throwback for OG Fortnite players. This weapon can pick off targets from great distances and can one-shot enemies with headshots. Just mind the reduced visibility while scoped and the added aiming glint, which can reveal your position.

4. Submachine Gun

Submachine Gun
Where to Find	Chests; Floor Loot
Type	SMG

The Submachine Gun is best paired with a Shotgun to finish off enemies after landing a devastating shotgun blast. Its rapid fire rate shines in close-range combat, so stay up close to make sure your shots connect.

5. Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher
Where to Find	Chests; Floor Loot
Type	Explosive Weapon

The Rocket Launcher can deal quick splash damage, making it perfect for rattling opponents and tearing down builds with ease. What sets it apart is that its projectiles can bounce off surfaces, allowing you to hit opponents from unexpected angles. In contrast, Rocket Launchers only fire straight and detonate on impact.
