One of the most popular and most talked about games out there today seems to be Fortnite. It has been around since July 2017, but for some reason it has just started to explode in popularity. The best part about this game, no doubt about it, is that right now it is free to play. That’s right, you can get in all the action and join in on the conversation without having to pay a single penny. Fortnite is a co-op survival game with a few different modes, that it is d🅠ifferent and exciting each time you play. The game starts off with 100 players who are all dropped down to earth by a flying bus, once they reach the ground they can begin to search buildings and land for various loot and loot boxes that contain items that are sure to help them survive. The last player standing at the end is, of course, the winner. To make things even more interesting, every couple of minutes there is a storm that moves in, and ๊if you are not inside of the circle the storm will be sure to consume you and you will die before you have even had the chance to really play.
This game is jam-packed with tons of cool weapons꧃ and items that help you to survive. There are so many weapons and weapon categories, that it can sometimes to be hard to know which ones are worth taking and which ones you might as well leave behind for someone else. Some weapons have poor ac🍰curacy and a low damage rate, while others could blow your enemy away with one hit. Then there are the other items such as, bandages, launch pads, bushes, and campfires, just to name a few. To help you figure out which of these items are most likely to help you score a win, we have compiled a list containing 15 of the games best items and 15 of the worst.
30 𒈔 Best: The T🎃raps
One of the best items to have in your supply when playing Fortnite, is no doubt, the traps. These traps can be applied to the floor, ceiling, and wall of any building and are perfect for entry points into various homes and forts. Whether you are getting toward the end of the game and need a way to secure the bottom of your fort, or if you just to secure the entry points to a house for you to hold up in until the storm starts moving in on you, traps a fantastic device to assure that enemies get what’s coming to ☂them when they enter.
These are typically best placed on the ceiling, where other players will not notice them, until it is too late.
The trap is a must have, and the good news is t🌸hat it doesn't even take up any space in your items💧 storage, instead, it goes right alongside your building materials. So, don’t worry if you stumble across on, but don’t want to get rid of anything in your inventory because there is no need to with these.
29 W💛orst: Minigun
Some people might try to argue this one and say that the mini gun is the mother of all guns in Fortnite, but that woཧuld be 🗹a bit of a reach, if you ask us. Sure, the minigun is one of the most powerful guns in the game, but by the time you are able to use it, you will probably be dead anyways. This gun is very hard to come across and only comes in rare, so when you find one, it is kind of like coming across a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
So, what is so terrible about this gun?
Well, 💎it takes a long time to start shooting, so if you are spot on when you do start shooting, then yes you will totally obliterate anyone that you are shooting at. However, since it does take a long time to start shooting, you will probably have died before you get the chance to start hitting your enemy, making this one of the worst items in the game.
28 🅘 Best: M16 Assault Rifle - Legendar▨y
If you want a gun that is easy to get your hands on, has great accuracy, and decent damage, then the M16 Assault Rifle is the way to go. ✱You don't just want any old M16 though, the standard one, for example, won’t get you the accuracy that you want. When picking up this item you want to be sure that you are getting a legendary one, although the rare one will can be somewhat just as effective.
While this gun may not be the best for long distances, it is perfect for♔ short to mid-range engagements, and is the perfect weapon to have in your arsenal when you are having a shoot-out with someone who snuck up on you.💝 Make your enemies regret entering into a battle with you by whipping out this bad boy with a gun and rack up those kills! This is a must have weapon.
27 ꧑ Worst: Boogie Bomb
The creators seemed to have wanted to lighten things up a bit when they created this next item. I mean shooting and trying to survive is fun and all, but throw some dancing into the mix and you have a game that is sure to succeed. Well, at least that’s what the creators must have been thinking, us players, on the other hand, wish that the boogie bomb had never been ღinvented. Why bother throwing a bomb at an opponent if it isn't even going to end them or damage their health? Well, that is exactly how things go with these boogie bombs, you th🏅row them at other players and if you hit directly hit them, they will start dancing for a few short seconds. This is only good if you are super fast at attacking them and have a decent and powerful weapon, but even then, why bother when you could just throw a grenade at them instead?
26 Best: Pump𓄧 Shotgun
If you have ever played Fortnite, then you know just how good of a gun the Pump Shotgun can be. This gun is so powerful that if you get a direct hit it can deal up to 95 damage, whicౠh is almost a one hit KO. This is ꧙the perfect gun to have for close range shoot-outs and the only downside seems to be that it has a slightly slower fire rate and a bit of a lengthy reload time.
This is usually no problem at all, however, considering the fact that if you can hit your enemy at least once they will more than likely be dead.
The damage power of ♏this gun makes your odds of winning the gamܫe significantly higher than they would be if you were playing with a less powerful gun, like the pistol. All of these things put together make the pump shotgun the gun to go for when searching for loot, which is actually pretty easy because it is one of the more commonly found items.
25 Worst: Grenade Launcher - Of Any Kind 🤪 🌠
A grenade launcher might seem like the perfect iteജm to have for taking down enemy forts and ending people from afar, but it is actually the last weapon that you want on hand. Sure, it can be helpful in the end when the circle is super small and everyone is confined into one small space (if you can make it that far), but this weapon leaves a lot to be desired. Not only does it immediately alert people to your location, but it has almost no range whatsoever and it is actually worse than a rocket launcher. So, you better stay well hidden if you do decide to use this sad excuse of a weapon, because people will be able to spot you pretty easily and the odds are that their𒐪 guns will end you way faster than that grenade launcher would them. This is by far one of the worst weapons to get your hands on, so make sure that you can find other, more efficient ones as well.
24 Best: Lau🤡nch Pad ༒
The launch pad is a not so common item that doesn't quite get the recognition that it should. It is a pad that you set down on the ground in front of you and it usually has a few jumps on it before disappearing. After placing the launch pad on the ground, you simply jump on top of it and it launches you into the air, shortly after that yo💟ur glider will deploy allowing you better control over where you end up. Of course, it does nothing in the way of helping you eliminate other players, but it is a great item to have if you are the type of person that likes to stay close to the edge of the circle just waiting for the storm to roll in. This item not only helps you quickly escape the storm, but it can also be of great assistance when being fired at, and it provides faster travel if you have a certain place that you wanted to check out.
23 Worst: Pisꦯtol 🃏
If there is any gun that you want to avoid at all costs in this game, then it is definitely going to be the pistol, no matter how easy it is to come across. This gun, in most forms, barely does any damage to enemies at all and is easily one of the least effective weapons that there is. This weapon comes in common, uncommon, and even rare, but in all forms, it has a low damage rate, can be tough to aim, and has absolutely no range to 🔯it whatsoever. We would like to say that this one is a matter of personal preference, but it turns out that most people who play this game like to avoid the pistol at all costs because it usually just ends up being a total waste of space in their inventory. So, if you want something that is going to be effective and deal a good amount of damage, then this is not the gun for you.
22 Best: Bush 🥀 🍌
Not everyone would agree on this next item, as some people see it as a stupid way to hide without really playing the game, but this item has a lot of potential and is something that could certainly wi♋n you the game. These bushes are typically obtained from a loot box, but they are very rare and hard to come across. To use the bush you apply it just like you would a bandage and it wraps a bush around you, camouflaging you to look exactly like the surrounding bushes.
Although this might seem like a pointless thing to have it is perfect for toward the end of the game when things start getting intense.
All you have to do is find another bush and crouch down into it, this will leave you totally unnoticeable to the people around you, so you can just sit back and relax while everyone else is ending each other. Then, when it comes down to you and one other person, they will have no idea where you are, giving yo🥃u the perfect opportunity to strike and land that win.
21 💙 Worst: M16 - Standard
This next one might be a little confusing because we already talked about the M16, but the M16 that we talked about earlier was the legendary one. The M16, in its stand💃ard form, is the absolute least effective assault rifle in the game. If this is the only weapon that you were able to get your hands on, then you better hope that you are going up against someone who either has a basic pistol, or nothing but their pickaxe. This gun, of course, is better than no gun at all but it should be your last choice and should never be your only weapon.
That being said, it is still better than having a pistol, everyone knows how terrible those are.
Of course, some people migh𓆏t still consider this gun as fine, it really all does come down to per൩sonal preference, but it definitely does not stack up next to some other weapons offered in this game.
