Current Fortnite meta

Dexerto

If you’re playing this season, it’s all about staying on the front foot. Push hard, hit big, and don’t give your enemies a second to breathe.

The Bug Blaster and Swarmstrike Rocket Launcher are absolute nightmares for anyone hiding in a box. Similarly, Double Trouble is your go-to if you want to melt people up close before they even know what’s happening.

The O.X.R. Rifle is laser-accurate with a headshot multiplier that makes mid-range fights feel unfair. And the Wrecker Revolver is just ridiculous; it’s like a shotgun and pistol had a baby, so you can double-pump or tag people from way further than they expect.

S-Tier

Weapon	DPS	Damage	Fire Rate	Magazine Size	Reload Time
Bug Blaster (Legendary)	N/A	50 (Base)100 (Charged)	1.5	40	2.5 s
Swarmstrike Rocket Launcher (Legendary)	28.5	38 per rocket	0.75	1	3 s
Double Trouble (Exotic)	84.7	121	0.7	5	3.96 s
O.X.R. Rifle (Mythic)	178.6	38	4.7	21	2.12 s
Wrecker Revolver (Legendary)	124.2	90	1.38	8	3.06 s

Bug Blaster

A charged explosive that melts builds and ignores cover. With up to 40 shots and solid reload speed, you can spam enemies until their defenses crumble. It’s less about raw damage and more about forcing panic plays and opening up pushes.

Swarmstrike Rocket Launcher

Fires rockets that hit hard and have absurd structure damage. One clean shot can deal over 200 combined damage, making it a nightmare in box fights. The slow fire rate means you need good timing, but the payoff is massive.

Double Trouble

A burst shotgun-pistol hybrid that can delete enemies in a blink. Its high base damage and solid DPS let you finish fights fast, especially if you land both shots in quick succession. Best used when you’re already in your opponent’s face.

O.X.R. Rifle

The only rifle this season with a 1.75x headshot multiplier. It’s slower-firing but laser-accurate, excelling at mid-range duels where you can punish peeks and punish headshots. If you have good aim, this thing’s an unfair advantage.

Wrecker Revolver

Acts like a shotgun with pistol flexibility. Big damage per shot and a tight ADS spread mean you can double-pump or surprise people from further than they’d expect. Perfect for aggressive players who want versatility in one slot.
