The overclocked pulse rifle was more overpowered than the mk it did 59 damage bodyshot from 200 meters it had almost no damage dropoff and i never see it talked about but everyone was going crazy about it that season
No way bro left out the OG Boom Bow, that thing was an explosive sniper that did 100 damage in a huge radius and had a really quick reload, it was so hard to counter a guy who had one. You would just be walking around then out of nowhere all your shield disappered lmao
Not to mention that it wasn't limited to 31 ammo like the primal season bows, nor 150 shells like in later seasons. Having 999 in this already mega OP bow was crazy!
@@imrandomness no it most definitely wasn't before it. I'm talking about the Boom Bow from Chapter 1 Season 8 which was 5 years ago, not the new Boom Bolt from Chapter 5 Season 3. The Boom Bow is an actual Bow and Arrow and not a Crossbow like the Boom Bolt. If you haven't seen the OG Boom Bow you should really watch some videos of it lol it was actually insane, I used to run the Boom Bow as my only weapon if I found one, using the rest of my inventory for heals and movement because it was THAT good.
I think the og heavy ar deserves a mention, gold one did 48 body 96 headshot and was deadly accurate from long range plus it would still hit for 32 at max distance
The reaper sniper is honestly one of the most dominant weapons this game has *ever* seen. Snipers are so extremely hard to balance because of their one shot capabilities, but giving a sniper a fairly high fire rate with 3-5 shots in the mag? With a foregrip, suppressor, and scope of choice? It's *still* a fairly broken weapon, but for most of c5s1 it was unstoppable.
Extremely high bullet drop though you literally had to have the person out of the scope to the bottom to hit them from even like 200-250m away. Meanwhile, the Semi-Auto sniper has 10 ammo, faster fire rate, and far less bullet drop, so should that not be considered way more OP?
I think the Twin Mag AR from chapter 4 season 4 is one of the best ARs in Fortnite history at least in balanced terms, that weapon was never toned down but it was so strong
Personally I think the Havoc is better than Spaz in creative, but not when it could one pump. Pump is just way more consistent, but their so close its really just preference
I miss chapter 4 season 2. We had the mythic havock, overclock pulse rifle, attack on titan mythics, kinetic blade, miles morale's spiderman mythics and the twin mag smg. Everything was so broken and fun.
Thanks for reminding me of the surpressed SMG meta, had completely forgotten about it. Man, I miss that gun. OG Pump was crazy even after double-pump got removed since it still dealt 237 dmg headshots at blue rarity. I know it's not on the list and it's not really the weapon being strong. But like triple-quad RPGs was pretty insane, just quick-switching and firing all back-to-back. People couldn't outbuild it at the time. Heavy Sniper to me should never have been nerfed, its gimmick was the insane structure damage and now the gun just feels like a worse bolt.
@@Insanetrickshots12345 Well imo the heavy sniper was better in terms of how useful it was when it was released. Not saying people were complete dog at the game but when you get one tapped after having 100 health and taking two minis by a random guy from 300m away (bc the bullet drop was actually non existant at the time) then you could really feel the power of the gun. And even if you had 200 health if you get spammed by the p90 and box up they would just snipe your wall and jump in and get the easiest 200 pump of their lives especially because people at that time didnt know how to build very well and wouldnt be able to build something to protect theirselfs in the box and edit out like people do now. And now compared to the eagle eye people would get hit for a calm 110 then make 16 boxes, 3 floors, pop 14 medkits, pop 18 1/2 big pots, and touch an old man and they would be completely fine but then again if you are able to hit headshot its an easy kill but so was the heavy sniper but the difference is the heavy sniper did that in a much less talented time where people couldnt do anything. And like i mentioned before the bullet drop was actually insane on the heavy sniper, and at least for me i kept on shooting too high even when i would aim right above their heads from 200m awayso it took a bit to get used to it, and for the eagle eyes bullet drop.. lets not talk about that. So imo i feel like the heavy sniper would be more fittinh to be put on this list. And btw 392 headshot damage was i think the most ever in the game and extremly excesive so i think epic did it just to really show the power of the gun. And thats why i think the heavy is better.
Heavy Snipers gimmick wasnt a gimmick because it was everything heavy weapons are, having a big high value in base or other aspects with good accuracy at the cost of reload the Heavy Sniper however had the damage boost and the 1000 structure damage, if it was still that it would need pitiful base damage to consider it being balanced
It's really crazy because I remember vividly that initially the Season 9 Combat Shotgun was considered awful on launch because its damage was initially bugged and extremely inconsistent, and it fueled the pump outrage because it allowed the newly unvaulted drum gun to thrive. And then they fixed the weapon and suddenly everything changed lol Also I'm not 100% on this but I feel like the Primal Shotgun (especially the mythic one) should've been a contender for this list (or maybe a part 2?), I remember it made a lot of people mad during C2S6 before it got nerfed. Same could be said for both times the drum shotgun was unvaulted in C3S2 and C4S3.
Havoc shotgun is by far my favorite shotgun ever released. Slug shotguns are my favorite shotgun archetype (tight pellet spread.) So i instantly fell in love with it and i miss it so much. I dont know if its just me btw but i felt like the drum shotgun during chapter 4 is one of the most overpowered guns ever, especially the mythic version.
I will say that the striker AR is absolutely deadly at almost any range outside of really long range. It had the fire rate of an SMG with the accuracy of an assault rifle. Plus if you got Nisha’s mythic, it was extremely accurate.
I remember on the launch of s9 most thought that the combat sucked. There was some glitch that made it do less damage on hipfire than it should've. It started us theorizing that we should main the tac and stuff, good times
There was a very short period in late chapter 1 (i think season 8) where the heavy shotgun had a crazy headshot multiplier so headshots did 300+ damage
Weirdly this glitch still persists in various forms although they've toned it down. The OG Heavy Shotgun can't headshot (at least not from my testing) unless you're beyond 20-25 metres meaning at that range the multiplier doesn't do that much anyway. Meanwhile the reworked heavy shotgun doesn't have the max damage cap that the other shotguns (bar the wood stake shotgun) have meaning when there was that augment in the game that boosted first shot shotgun damage, the breacher, like the wood stake shotgun, was able to do way over 200 damage.
People really do not understand how crazy the double pump was, You had to be there to see how crazy it is. I remember just having 4 pumps and a shield pot
i was one of the first players of fortnite, starting in ch 1 season 4 and this just brought back memorys. Mk seven, JACKED, Infinity gauntlet, JACKED, P-90,JACKED.
@@Us3r739yeah season 4 is og but he isn’t one of the first i also started season 4 so og but not one of the first it started to become popular around then
The shockwave hammer never used to do the flat 200 damage on direct hit, it used to do 75 on the shockwave and 125 upon direct hit, I don't know why, but it was changed to how it is now after the Shockwave Hammer was vaulted at the start of Ch 4 Season 2
Glitched. Just like the LMG doing like 125 damage, the Infinity Blade also 1 shotting on smash attack, or the enhanced Infiltrator pump doing like 140 regardless of range or headshot but being quite hard to hit even in the reticle..
The kinetic blade. There was a bug with the weapon which allowed you to just dump dmg into something if you lagged out. Essentially you could just delete people by disconnecting.
one of the most overlooked guns in my opinion is the infantry rifle. It wasn’t particularly op but fun as as hell to rock with a shotty and smg. On launch in s7, it did 45-90 with a BLUE. the damage and fire rate was crazy for a blue gun but it had bullet drop but if you dont suffer a skill issue thats a solid 3-4 shot kill. had almost no damage drop off too then it got reworked when the gold one got added almost a full season later during s8, making it hitscan but reducing the damage a bit (42-84 blue, 44-88 gold) but kept the accuracy, fire rate, and range. It also is the subject of that iconic mongraal triple dink clip and is one of the best sounding guns in fortnite history
Overcooked pulse rifle, exotic maven auto shorty, and the semi auto sniper in fortnite OG. That sniper people don't really remember cause it was hard af to get and only in the season for like 1-2 weeks.
About the suppressed smg. The reason people started picking it up over gold scars was that they buffed the damage drop off range. To where it felt like there was barely any damage fall off
When the scar hit for 80-90 damage headshot was before first shot accuracy so the guns we’re less accurate with lots of spread but had no damage drop off
I fondly remember the Shockwave Hammer because of a builds game were i had only had green and blue weapons and i got focused, and i then spent the entire game running until i could heal and eventually win the game As for OP weapon's, Twin Mag SMG, i feel as nobody talks about this gun, it's a insanely accurate, double magged smg that i eneded up using as my ar in Mega. (Also its better balanced then the Ar counterpart)
it may seem crazy but imo the flare gun should be there' it not too much overpowered like the rest of the items here but it so good you just shoot in the sky and you can see everyone
I have a few Critiques... (as the Local Nerd lmao) such as the fact that the Heavy Sniper Reload was actually made FASTER than before. Additionally, the Combat Shotgun, while it's not as strong at launch, is still SO much better than it's Chapter 2 Season 4 Nerfed version was. (the only con of the combat today being the low Headshot damage cap)
I always believed that the season 8 infinity gauntlet was the strongest non save the world item in Fortnite. It was literally designed with the user being jumped by 10 or so people in mind.
The nowdays P90 is a still very solid SMG, but ouclassed by the combat, twin mag, and stinger. But IMO, the Combat SMG is pretty much the best SMG of all time, and before the nerf it outclases pre-nerf Stinger, and can do very well agaisnt the S5 Drum Gun and P90.
3:20 the twin mag ar in chapter 4 season 4 was way stronger it had less recoil did more way more damage and had nearly the same fire rate you could easily beam people out of the sky 200m away
Real talk does anyone remember the guided missile launcher from back in like season 4? That thing on launch was absolutely busted especially in squads. I remember my friends and i each carrying one and essentially hitting an enemy with an orbital bombardment from the other side of a mountain. Theeeeen they nerfed it to the ground, and now its not even in creative anymore.
lol we need to bring the recent (mythic) striker ar or auto shotgun into this convo cause i remember last season getting either one was a guranteed win for me in pubs i had like 200 crown wins ☠️☠️
Loving the vids! I have a suggestion, might be a long video but maybe for a 10k sub special you could do a teirlist of every gun in fortnite. I know its a bit ambitious but it would make for a really great video and i would definitely watch :) just a suggestion tho
Thank you for listening to our comments. This video is as good as the one with the worst weapons. Your work is GREAT and I truly appreciate it. Thank you.
I get why a lot of people don’t like striker at but if you have the right attachments it shreds and has the second highest fire rate of any ar apart from mk and almost 10 more damage per shot
I once was Superman in Squad (one of the guys was also me, from the phone) with hammer and i killed 19 people! That was highest I ever did yet! It was such a surreal badass moment!
with the combat shotgun it actually was really inconsistent with its damage output at launch and there was a clip of daequan showing that hitting someone for 120 max damage with a gold combat just to do 20 damage the next shot. after a hotfix from epic that fixed the damage inconsistencies the combat became op and became the version everyone remembered
Suppressed SMG was extremely good at range but was then nerfed, up close it was a normal smg of course also to compare, Combat SMG (only counting DPS/TTK) is as powerful as the blue drum gun back then (at least in body shot), though day 1 P90 is better than both
You missed the (Ch1 SS 6) AK out. The gold version of this weapon used to deal 98 HS damage. And fhe grey version I believe used to deal 90 HS Damage. Not to mention that this AK had a HS multiplyer of 2. Meaning body shots with its lowest rarity would still deal 45 damage per shot. And given that the accuracy of this weapon was accurate. And with Damage dropoff not being a thing back then... The AK should have definitely been put on the list.
the chapter 4 scar was the same as the og without the 2.5 damage multiplier. People don't like to admit it but the scar has fallen off. It doesn't compare to other Ars now. That's why people thought it was nerfed that season.
it doesn't have to do with the damage, it's more so thw accuracy. The ch4 scar had awful bloom and was wildly inconsistent when compared to the ch1 scar
Feel like mamooth pistol, exotic shotgun which used to one tap builds, stinger smg on its first release, railgun (might as well put zapotron in here for fun) and maybe the scout sniper rifle that gave the next storm (huge in competitive) should’ve been in this video but with all the weapon on this game i think you did a great video. (I also loved the first released silenced pistol chapter 1 season 2 if I remember correctly which used to have the same headshot damage as a Scar and had way less bloom)
@@YoyoYuzzy it was fun but not very broken since it was slow and easy to counter, it was only strong since players did not know how to build well at the time
The ranger is a insane gun it has a range OF 72 METERS THAT IS AS LONG AS HEAVY, COMBAT, SHARP TOOTH SHOTGUN TRUST ME THIS IS KINDA A AR BUT SLOW also the gatekeeper
I’ve seen a couple of fairly recent smg lists - that didn’t include the p-90. When it was released - even my stupid ass was shredding people. Absurd. Sounds stupid - but just the sound of it made people nervous 😂
might be bias but the Hammer Assault Rifle was really good at mythic. It had good reload and decent damage but what made it good was the fire speed where it could basically be an SMG at range.
Im honestly insanely surprised reading through the whole comment section and watching the vid that nobody mentioned th c2 s6 mythic primal shotgun,they had to nerf it twice and it was still overpowered
7:25 you forgot the part where people figured out that you can cancel the smacking effect when missed by dropping the hammer off the inventory and then pick it up immediately
I feel like you missed one: snipers in chapter 5 before the bullet drop. Absolutely overpowered. I remember hitting every single shot with the sniper and it was so much fun and satisfying
Overclocked was on the list but for some reason they've stopped doing the re-releases last few seasons. OG really got in the way. :/ Foundations MK-7 is collab unfortunately.
you missed the OG hand cannon, th OG explosive bow and the OG minigun, which had no overheating, so you could shoot LITERALLY UNTIL YOU RAN OUT OF BULLETS 💀 also I once single-headshotted my friend with a GREEN OG pump and did 365 DAMAGE, like... that doesn't even make any sense 🤣
My favorite weapon of all time is the season 7 heavy sniper❤. I’m playing since season 6 (chap 1), even tough the only cosmetic I have I think it is a backbling 😂. I actually went on a creative map and the heavy sniper got a >400 dmg headshot
Hammer animation could also be canceled meaning you could really easily destroy a lot of boxes if the opponent boxed up and there would be pretty much no risk at all
i hould take a striker ar with the red dot sight every single day of eternity than the og scar, but then again, i would take og scar than any other AR.
7:30 ish you could drop the hammer to use the hit and instantly swap to pump or piece up! you couldve also pulled out your builds at the start of the szn but they patched that later
The overclocked pulse rifle was more overpowered than the mk it did 59 damage bodyshot from 200 meters it had almost no damage dropoff and i never see it talked about but everyone was going crazy about it that season
Yeah I was on the fence about it. If there's a part 2 this will be in it

with the combat shotgun it actually was really inconsistent with its damage output at launch and there was a clip of daequan showing that hitting someone for 120 max damage with a gold combat just to do 20 damage the next shot. after a hotfix from epic that fixed the damage inconsistencies the combat became op and became the version everyone remembered
yup
Suppressed SMG was extremely good at range but was then nerfed, up close it was a normal smg of course
also to compare, Combat SMG (only counting DPS/TTK) is as powerful as the blue drum gun back then (at least in body shot), though day 1 P90 is better than both
You missed the (Ch1 SS 6) AK out. The gold version of this weapon used to deal 98 HS damage. And fhe grey version I believe used to deal 90 HS Damage. Not to mention that this AK had a HS multiplyer of 2. Meaning body shots with its lowest rarity would still deal 45 damage per shot. And given that the accuracy of this weapon was accurate. And with Damage dropoff not being a thing back then... The AK should have definitely been put on the list.
Havoc pump was a monster, I miss it so much
If the infinity gauntlet counts I reckon the Kamehameha does as well. I mean, that thing was pretty much free kills
Hot take:
After the nerf, the MK7 became THE WORST ever fortnite weapon. I hated it so much 💀
when i used the havoc pump it always did like 46 damage but the spaz always did 100+ damage
You forgot about the heavy shotgun at launch when it did 300-400 damage, if you count bugs
the chapter 4 scar was the same as the og without the 2.5 damage multiplier. People don't like to admit it but the scar has fallen off. It doesn't compare to other Ars now. That's why people thought it was nerfed that season.
it doesn't have to do with the damage, it's more so thw accuracy. The ch4 scar had awful bloom and was wildly inconsistent when compared to the ch1 scar
@@tyluhfryzgaming really? the chapter 4 scar feels about the same as the normal one.
OMG that music sound when you where talking about the scar!
Glad somebody picked up on it 😂
Oddly enough, even if it doesnt come back, the Shockwave hammer now deals no splash damage and instead deals 200 on direct hit only in creative
You not mentioning Oscars Frenzy Auto shotgun should be a crime. That shotgun, mythic or not, could kill a squad without reloading from 5 miles away.
In part 2 I went over the frenzy auto 🤝
@@tyluhfryzgaming didn’t see that part when I wrote that, MB
the mythic frenzy auto last season and the grim gate medallion😭
Feel like mamooth pistol, exotic shotgun which used to one tap builds, stinger smg on its first release, railgun (might as well put zapotron in here for fun) and maybe the scout sniper rifle that gave the next storm (huge in competitive) should’ve been in this video but with all the weapon on this game i think you did a great video. (I also loved the first released silenced pistol chapter 1 season 2 if I remember correctly which used to have the same headshot damage as a Scar and had way less bloom)
Also the guided middle launcher
mammoth pistol underrated
@@YoyoYuzzy it was fun but not very broken since it was slow and easy to counter, it was only strong since players did not know how to build well at the time
The ranger is a insane gun it has a range OF 72 METERS THAT IS AS LONG AS HEAVY, COMBAT, SHARP TOOTH SHOTGUN TRUST ME THIS IS KINDA A AR BUT SLOW also the gatekeeper
Hated the havoc pump, loved the shockwave hammer
You need to mention the shockwave launcher from ch 2 szn 3
lowkey
The overclocked pulse rifle and the season 5 smgs/drum gun and the original mk7 and combat smg are the most broken gun of all time
I’ve seen a couple of fairly recent smg lists - that didn’t include the p-90. When it was released - even my stupid ass was shredding people. Absurd. Sounds stupid - but just the sound of it made people nervous 😂
might be bias but the Hammer Assault Rifle was really good at mythic. It had good reload and decent damage but what made it good was the fire speed where it could basically be an SMG at range.
True
I strongly think that the mythic evocrome burst AR was extremely overpowered
Im honestly insanely surprised reading through the whole comment section and watching the vid that nobody mentioned th c2 s6 mythic primal shotgun,they had to nerf it twice and it was still overpowered
I’m working on a part 2 rn and I think I may put the pre nerf primal shotty on it
Combat Shotgun slaps pretty dang hard right now
Twin mag ar is best ar
7:25 you forgot the part where people figured out that you can cancel the smacking effect when missed by dropping the hammer off the inventory and then pick it up immediately
Hiested accelerant shotgun.
If used by a good player during ch4, they could win any fight easy, even the mythic drum shotgun couldnt beat it up close.
OG rocket ammo weapons having 100+ ammo each:
enhanced infiltrator pump
edit: low recoil,good ammo INSANE range tight spread and high fire rate and good dammage
Shockwave hammer was hilarious for launching people off cliffs and buildings watching them fall to their death lol
I agree
I feel like you missed one: snipers in chapter 5 before the bullet drop. Absolutely overpowered. I remember hitting every single shot with the sniper and it was so much fun and satisfying
Reaper sniper pre nerf is gunna be in part 2 that I’m working on
no one remember the rapid fire smg, I used to destroy lobbies back in c2
i wish they'd put the rock's mk 7 and the overclocked pulse rifle in creative, also the chrome guns
Overclocked was on the list but for some reason they've stopped doing the re-releases last few seasons. OG really got in the way. :/
Foundations MK-7 is collab unfortunately.
@@dangamer7551 i guess we'll have to wait for custom item stats in uefn
What about the pulse rifle in ch 4 s2?
Was thinking ab it. I've been getting a bunch of comments ab the overclocked pulse
you missed the OG hand cannon, th OG explosive bow and the OG minigun, which had no overheating, so you could shoot LITERALLY UNTIL YOU RAN OUT OF BULLETS 💀
also I once single-headshotted my friend with a GREEN OG pump and did 365 DAMAGE, like... that doesn't even make any sense 🤣
that's what im saying haha
Honerable mentions, mythic maven, mythic frenzy shotgun, twin mag assualt rifle.
Mythic frenzy is in part 2 🤝
Exotic maven*
Who else misses the suppressed smg meta no one had an ar or shotgun
You should do the best guns from each season but if that’s too many guns do multiple videos on Each chapter or season
The gold scar only did 98 headshot season 0-1 I think end of season 1 or mid season 2 it was changed to 66 headshot while being 33 body shot
My favorite weapon of all time is the season 7 heavy sniper❤. I’m playing since season 6 (chap 1), even tough the only cosmetic I have I think it is a backbling 😂. I actually went on a creative map and the heavy sniper got a >400 dmg headshot
i can get behind this take
Combat was broken on launch because it bullet pellets was broken so close up u could hit someone for 20 💀😊
Criminal you didnt say the season 7 heavy assault rifle, it used to hit for 80-90 headshot and 40 bodyshot.
The new MK-7 was called the MK Alpha
Bro, the freaking guided missiles…
Combat smg was so good people dropped ars and even shotguns for it a green combat was better than the mythic stinger smg
You forgot the combat smg.That thing was so overpowered it ruined the season
Hammer animation could also be canceled meaning you could really easily destroy a lot of boxes if the opponent boxed up and there would be pretty much no risk at all
Honestly can't believe I forgot to mention how broken this was. Great point
i hould take a striker ar with the red dot sight every single day of eternity than the og scar, but then again, i would take og scar than any other AR.
Drum Gun took medium ammo so it's not classified as an Smg in the game
I feel like I’m going crazy because I remember the p90 had like 80 bullets back in season 5
50 was the max until they nerfed it to 40
New fists r so much better than blade and hammer the damage is so good and the movement AND theres a mythic one
7:30 ish
you could drop the hammer to use the hit and instantly swap to pump or piece up!
you couldve also pulled out your builds at the start of the szn but they patched that later
Ik, I honestly can’t believe I forgot to mention it
Me I loved the frenzy before it was nurfed
