Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has introduced a variety of new weapons each with its unique strengths and playstyles.
As is tradition, understanding the best weapons in Chapter 6 is key to building the best loadout this season.
So without any further ado, here’s a rundown of the top five weapons dominating the Fortnite meta right now.
List of best weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
5. Typhoon Blade
Kicking off the list is the Typhoon Blade which is a highly anticipated melee weapon this season. Many players expected the return of the Kinetic Blade but Fortnite surprised us with this new addition. While it doesn’t excel as a mobility item compared to its predecessor, the Typhoon Blade offers powerful melee combos.
Its sprint-boosting ability and half-dash feature are helpful but not game-changing. However, you can get into an opponent’s box with this blade and its raw melee damage can destroy enemies in seconds. The Typhoon Blade deserves a spot in your loadout if you’re a fan of close-quarters combat.
4. Hollow Twister Assault Rifle
The Hollow Twister Assault Rifle is a must-have weapon for Chapter 6. This hitscan rifle eliminates bullet travel time which meakes it a beam of precision. It features a built-in scope—the only one available this season—it harkens back to fan favorites like the MK7 and Ranger Assault Rifle.
The best part is the weapon has a decent accuracy and bullet velocity which makes it a great option for the medium to close range combats. This weapon is a staple if you’re crafting the best loadout in Chapter 6.
3. Sentinel Pump Shotgun
No top-tier loadout is complete without a dominant shotgun and the Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers. It packs a punch with up to 200 damage on Mythic headshots and nearly as much on its Legendary variant as the primary pump shotgun this season.
However, its four-shell capacity requires careful aim and timing. It’s the best shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 6 and essential for close-range dominance.
2. Void Oni Mask
The Void Oni Mask stands out as a fan favorite weapon in Fortnite Chapter 6 as it offers brilliant mobility advantages. With this item, players can throw a Void Tear using the Shoot Button and then teleport to its location by using the Aim Button while the mask is equipped.
The Epic Void Oni Mask provides 15 uses with a 5-second cooldown while the Mythic version offers an impressive 50 uses. You can get the Oni masks by looting the elemental chests which is the easiest way. Alternatively, you can also defeat Demon Warriors on the island to get them.
1. Veiled Precision SMG
Veiled Precision SMG takes the top spot, a weapon redefining Fortnite’s SMG class. With a hitscan mechanic, no recoil, and a red dot sight, it’s exceptionally accurate for close-to-mid-range combat. You’ll be surprised to know that the weapon has a built in suppressor which keeps your location secret and also improves the accuracy of the weapon by lowering its recoil.
While its 21-bullet magazine requires efficiency, its overwhelming power makes it worth the trade-off. Many players are even replacing ARs in their loadouts with this SMG by combining it with the Sentinel Pump and Void Oni Mask for the best loadout in Chapter 6.
