All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
The return of hitscan mechanics makes Assault Rifles potent in Fortnite OG. However, bloom inconsistencies affect some. The standard Assault Rifle is generally preferred, especially considering the Scoped Assault Rifle's inaccurate scope.
Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |

| Structure DMG | 30 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 36 |
Its manageable bloom, ample magazine, and decent damage make the Assault Rifle a reliable choice at all ranges.
Burst Assault Rifle
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 27 | 29 | 30 | 36 | 37 |

The 3-round burst and high bloom make this weapon unreliable.
Scoped Assault Rifle

| Damage | 23 | 24 | 37 |
| Magazine | 20 | 20 | 20 |

| Structure DMG | 23 | 24 | 37 |
Despite first-person aiming, the bullet trajectory offset makes this weapon inconsistent.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns dominate close-quarters combat in Chapter 1, Season 1. Their high damage and fast fire rate, combined with the "Double Pump" technique, make them incredibly powerful.
Pump Shotgun
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 90 | 95 | 110 | 119 | 128 |
| Magazine | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Fire Rate | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Reload Time | 4.8s | 4.6s | 4.4s | 4.2s | 4s |
| Structure DMG | 90 | 95 | 110 | 119 | 128 |
The 2.5x headshot multiplier and "Double Pump" strategy make this a potent close-range weapon.
Tactical Shotgun
| Rarity | Common | Uncommon | Rare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 67 | 70 | 74 |
| Magazine | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Fire Rate | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| Reload Time | 6.3s | 6s | 5.7s |
| Structure DMG | 67 | 70 | 74 |
Its higher fire rate makes it a safer, albeit less powerful, option.
