Best Fortnite Ballistic Guns and Weapons Tier List Criteria

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

Tier List Overview

1. Enforcer AR

Enforcer AR
Weapon Type	Pistol (Semi-Automatic)
Stats	・Damage: 65 ・Fire Rate: 5.25 ・Mag Size: 12 ・Reload: 2.2s

The Enforcer AR strikes a balance between the much expensive ARs and budget-friendly SMGs. Its reasonable price and solid firepower make it a versatile choice for any match. Just keep in mind of its moderate fire rate, so accuracy and timing are key to making the most of this weapon.

2. Reaper Sniper Rifle

Reaper Sniper Rifle
Weapon Type	Sniper Rifle (Semi-Automatic)
Stats	・Damage: 150 ・Fire Rate: 0.66 ・Mag Size: 3 ・Reload: 3.5s

A high-risk, high-reward option, the Reaper Sniper Rifle can eliminate opponents with a single shot, no matter where you hit them. However, precision is critical. Make sure you're focused and ready to land your shots before investing in this game-changing weapon.

3. Hand Cannon

Hand Cannon
Weapon Type	Pistol (Semi-Automatic)
Stats	・Damage: 50 ・Fire Rate: 2 ・Mag Size: 7 ・Reload: 2.2s

The Hand Cannon offers a budget-friendly alternative to the Sniper Rifle, albeit with some trade-offs. Its slow fire rate requires careful aim, but it rewards skilled players with the ability to one-shot opponents with a headshot. Ideal for players who are confident with their accuracy.

4. Nemesis AR

Nemesis AR
Weapon Type	Assault Rifle (Automatic)
Stats	・Damage: 40 ・Fire Rate: 9.75 ・Mag Size: 25 ・Reload: 2.5s

As one of the higher-cost ARs, the Nemesis AR packs a punch in firepower but becomes less stable with sustained fire. It’s a great choice for players who can control their shots and maximize its damage potential.

5. Striker AR

Striker AR
Weapon Type	Assault Rifle (Automatic)
Stats	・Damage: 39 ・Fire Rate: 11 ・Mag Size: 30 ・Reload: 3.2s

Compared to the Nemesis AR, the Striker AR boasts a faster fire rate and better stability, though it sacrifices a bit of damage per shot. Perfect for the spray-and-pray type of player.
