Ranger Sturmgewehr Fortnite — Ranger Assault Rifle:

The Ranger assault rifle is made for long distances but is also quite powerful at medium ranges and very effective at long range. Although this AR is relatively accurate, it is a bit difficult to aim with this assault rifle at first. But as they say, practice makes perfect. We will get used to it.

Stats for the common Ranger assault rifle:
Damage: 30
Magazine size: 25
Rate of fire: 4
Reload time: 2.75 seconds

MK 7 Sturmgewehr Fortnite — MK-7 Assault Rifle

The MK-7 assault rifle was designed based on the technology of the Seven. It's good for medium and long distances and has a high firing rate. The assault rifle has a scope that you can use when aiming, similar to Apex or Warzone. All you have to do is point the red dot at your target! However, this weapon is a bit difficult to use in close combat.

And if you want an even better gun, you can mess with the Foundation aka The Rock to get the mythical version of the MK-7 assault rifle with an even better firing rate. But be careful, he'll throw rocks at you!

Stats for the common MK 7 Assault Rifle:
Damage: 21
Magazine size: 35
Rate of fire: 9
Reload time: 3.4 seconds

Striker Pumpgun Fortnite — Striker-Pumpgun

The Striker pump shotgun shoots many shotgun shells at once, causing a relatively large amount of damage with one shot. Let alone one hit. We still think this pump is better than the automatic shotgun, but it's no comparison to our good old pump shotgun from last seasons. Maybe we'll get used to the Striker eventually, but so far we're not really excited about it....

Stats for the common ordinary Striker pump shotgun:
Damage: 86
Magazine size: 5
Rate of fire: 0.6
Reload time: 5.5 seconds

Automatische Schrotflinte Fortnite — Automatic Shotgun

The automatic shotgun reminds us a bit of the prehistoric shotgun from Chapter 2, Season 6. It's not as powerful as the Striker pump shotgun, but it has a higher firing rate and lets you reload and fire two shells at once. However, it's more worth playing a submachine gun than the automatic shotgun - if you ask us.

Stats for the regular automatic shotgun:
Damage: 75
Magazine size: 8
Rate of fire: 1.5
Reload time: 8.8 seconds

Faustfeuer Pistole fortnite — Sidearm Pistol

The Handgun is a reliable weapon for all occasions - it accurately deals high damage at medium range, and up close it is ideal for high headshot damage. You should not underestimate it and even consider playing it instead of an assault rifle in Fortnite. At least, you can't really go wrong with the pistol.

Stats for the common Sidearm Pistol:
Damage: 23
Magazine size: 15
Rate of fire: 6.75
Reload time: 1.54 seconds

Stachler Machinenpistole fortnite — Stinger SMG

The Stinger SMG deserves its name, because it does quick damage to both enemies and buildings. Especially at medium range, it is more powerful than you might think! It is far from being comparable to the P90, but hey, for the submachine gun players among you, it will serve its purpose.

Stats for the common Stachler submachine gun:

Damage: 18
Magazine size: 30
Rate of fire: 12
Reload time: 2.75 seconds

Repetier Jagdgewehr Fortnite — Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper

The Sniper is back! The bolt action hunting rifle is a high damage sniper rifle that can fire three shots per magazine. So if you miss the first time, you have two more chances! And if you hit a headshot, it even does 180 damage! So for all sniper lovers must have this. Even if it is not as nice as our beloved classic Bolt Action Sniper.

Stats for the common bolt action hunting rifle:
Damage: 81
Magazine size: 3
Rate of fire: 0.64
Reload time: 3.68 seconds
