Fortnite has much more good weapons to offer, but these 5 are certainly among the best guns in Season 2 that will definitely give you an epic victory. Furthermore, glowstick grenades can also be perfectly taken into the inventory to burn opponents’ cover.
Note: This list is a compilation of the weapons that I and many others declare as the “currently best” – but that doesn’t necessarily have to apply to you. As always, it ultimately depends on personal taste, individual preferences, and simply whether you can handle the respective weapon or not.
Just because many people think they are good or the stats are top, it does not automatically mean that you will handle them well enough for them to perform strongly for you.
If you have other weapons in mind that are not listed here, feel free to tell us about them in the comments.
