Everyone who plays for tonight is always looking to be better
Maybe you're gonna try and be better by improving your building or working on your aim
But a lot of the time your performance in a match comes down to the weapons you choose to take with you epic games
It's constantly updating fortnight of rebalancing things
So it's hard to narrow down which weapons are truly the best at any given time and today
I'm going to try to do that. Very thing. What is up?
Everybody chaos here
And these are going to be my picks for the 10 best weapons in for now now just to be clear this video is being
recorded at the end of November 2018
So naturally it is subject to change and this list is also only going to include guns. It will not include
Explosive sound fair. Let me know in the comments section. What's your favorite go-to gun right now is in fortnight and let's get started
Kicking off. Our list is the SMG the tried-and-true
SMG and this is one of the most common weapons in 4-9
It's also one that's pretty much anybody will have in their inventory
Ever since the shotgun pull out times were nerfed and the swab delay was added people have started
Experimenting more and more with the SMGs and eventually we got the extremely annoying spam meta
But thankfully that seems to be on its way out
The SMG deal is pretty generous damage for its fire rate and can deal double damage to the head making it theoretically
Capable of a three shot kill if you hit all headshots, it's definitely a must-have on my list
At number nine, we're gonna go with the suppressed scarred
I never thought I would be putting a scar all the way down at number 9 but
Hear me out as we go through this list
This is an addition to the game that I don't really think people saw coming, but it was received pretty well
The suppressed car features the same fire rate magazine size and rarities as the normal scar but with an attached suppressor that decreases damage
But hides the bullet trails and allows for more stealthy
Approaches and I think most fortnight players would still prefer the standard scar over the suppressed one
But I mean, it gives a little extra damage and reduce bloom but the suppressed scar is a good gun
And it's definitely deserving of a spot on this list
Let me ask you do you like the tried-and-true?
Og scar or would you prefer the suppressed car if they were both laying in front of you?
Which one would you take this month's giveaway is for a new

And I'm irate. I haven't been giving this much love lately, but I'm going to hear the hunting rifle
It was added to the game quite some time ago, but has not really been touched in terms of its damage or stats
It's kind of just been left alone
That being said it's still a super good gun
And that's probably why I pick hasn't felt the need to change it
The hunting rifle is a scoped lanai
Rifle with the best hip accuracy of any sniper in the game making it great for mid range encounters
Now it definitely lacks the base damage of the other snipers. It doesn't hit as hard
It only deals a maximum of 90 damage to the body, but it will still deal 200-plus to the head
So it's still an extremely threatening gun from any range and many players prefer the hunting rifle over the other snipers
Thanks to its extra firing speed and its visibility that you get from
It's definitely the best sniper for aggressive players at
number seven and I should bump this up a little bit because the pump shotgun is
Definitely viable now after the I mean the shotgun net is bad guys
People have been begging for a shotgun buff for months an epoch. Finally. Listen with the update 6.31
The shotguns all got a consistency buff to eliminate those frustrating eight and nine damage shots
and they also brought in to more rarities of
The pump shotgun that could spaz 12 if you want to call it that the pump shotgun is without a doubt one of the best
Guns in the game now thanks to its more consistent damage and one-shot kill potential since the blue purple and gold pumps now all deal
200 plus damage to the head now
I think the shotgun swap delay needs to either be nerfed or remove completely
The pump shotgun is still deserving of a spot on this list
And I know plenty of four-night players are stoked that the shotgun meta is back
But for all the people asking for the og double pump, you will never ever get that again
There will never be a time in fortnight where there is no delay in swapping the pump. They won't allow it to happen
I promise you so just be happy that they're actually focusing on the pump and they made it viable again at number 6
And I'm kind of in the middle with the heavy assault rifle also known as the a K on one hand it hits
Extremely hard and hard it has great range, but on the other hand, it shoots extremely slow in the bloom
Well, the bloom is absurd right now making it pretty awful at close range
But all in all the aka is an extremely deadly gun
If you know how to use it correctly and many pro players and streamers have been using it very well
So maybe I just haven't gotten over the learning curve with it yet
I may not like it as much as I should but I can still admit that it's deserving of a spot on this list
I love it in an approach fight when you're approaching a fight. You're trying to get those first couple shots off
Especially headshots before it gets into a crazy building battle and it's close quarters. This thing hits like a truck it is
Definitely definitely a viable option in some people
Some people would take the gold a Kay over the gold scarf at number 5
We have the heavy sniper rifle it kind of took awhile for the heavy sniper to find its place in the meta game
But now that it's been around for a few months
I think it's safe to say it's definitely one of the top-five best guns in the game
Yes, it fires insanely slow and sure it has a unique bullet drop that you have to learn and the reload time is long
But the end of the day it is still hitting for
150 plus damage to the body not the head my friends and it's still destroying any structure or set piece in the game
With a single bullet the heavy sniper rifle is definitely a high-risk high-reward weapon if you know what you're doing with it
it's hands down one of the best guns in the game and one of the hardest hitting guns in the game and it's worth the
Sacrifice for reload time and fire rate because if you do connect with this thing, it is lights out
Now number four we have the compact SMG
Now this extremely annoying SMG has been bothering people ever since it was added and even after it's been nerfed a few times
It's still one of the best guns in the game even to this day. And I don't know did they put this in there?
I can't remember was the drum gun
The the vaulted one for this one the compact SMG originally did more damage and had a 50-round magazine
But it had to be nerfed down and damage in the magazine brought down to 40
Do you guys remember when the SMG first came out? It was it was beyond overpowered?
It's still extremely powerful now
Especially at close range the compact SMG absolutely spits bullets and with the headshots dealing 40-plus damage
You definitely do not want to be up close and personal against this thing
Now the SMG can drop people in the blink of an eye and it's even more
powerful when combo'd with a pump or heavy shotgun but for medium and long range
It's not going to do you because obviously the bloom and the recoil on this thing is pretty bad
at number three, we have the heavy shotgun and I know the new epic and legendary pump shotguns have been added recently, but honestly,
I think the heavy shotgun is still a very very good option the heavy shotgun features
Slightly less damage than the pump but it also has a much better fire rate and way better
Damage, I mean the heavy can deal pretty insane damage at range and since the hitbox is much more confined than the pump
It's a lot easier to get all your pellets to hit the target at once giving you a much better chance of bonus headshot damage
And dropping the player quicker plus the increased fire rate makes it more spammable than the pump and allows for way better follow-up shot
Opportunity so all in all the heavy shotgun to me is the best shotgun in the game right now
Even after the addition of the epic and legendary pumps and even after all the other pumps have been buffed at number two
We're gonna go with the scar. I know I'm putting the scar something other than number one
Wait till you see the number one spot now
I'm sure you all expected this gun to be somewhere up here and a lot of things before not have changed over the months certain
Things have stayed the same and the scar is still one of the best guns in the game. Is it the king?
I don't know just fully automatic assault rifle will deal great damage to the body and it's capable of doing a whopping
72 to the head at close range, but then again the gold a.k will do 90 to the head and I mean
I don't know
You just tell me the scar is minimal bloom in a very fast first shot accuracy
Recenter time making it great for tagging people at long range now
The scar is one of the few weapons and fortnight's that is great in pretty much
Every scenario and that is what gives it the number two spot on today's list, and now we've reached the number one spot
I'm gonna give you an honorable mention after we talk about this one and this one's gonna shock a lot of people
The hand cannon now, I know this may be a controversial opinion
but I
Truly believe the deagle is the best gun in the game right now this hand
I mean this hand gun uses heavy ammo and it got a pretty hefty buff not too long ago
It's like a sniper rifle in the form of a pistol
One of the main problems people have with the deagle ever since it was added was the range drop off as it originally would drop
All the way down to a measly 30 damage at range
however that has been changed in its current state the deagle will deal a
minimum of 50 damage to the body while still doing double damage to the head meaning you can hit people for 100-plus damage at
Range with this thing. It seriously is a sniper rifle in the form of a pistol
Plus it's a hitscan weapon. So you don't have to worry about leading your shots and plus again. It has a seven round mag
So you can get really really quick follow-up shots off one more plus it will deal a whopping 75 damage to the body
150 damage to the head at close range, okay
I lied one more plus it can destroy wood structures with a single bullet making it extremely dangerous in build fights
I'm just gonna say it. I think the deagle is the best gun in the game right now
Now that the heavy Barrett sniper can destroy structures and walls with one bullet
So can the deagle the heavy sniper is accurate at long range
So is the deagle and you can reload it way way quicker and fire it way way quicker now
I'm gonna give a non real mention
I'm gonna give an audible mention to the heavy pump shotgun this thing so far has been old trusty and reliable to me
I'm absolutely lugging. I'm still gonna give the slight advantage
To the heavy shotgun, but the heavy pump shotgun is definitely quickly finding its place in fortnight
So you guys let me know. What do you think the best gun in the game is its ever changing?
The meta is always changing and you're probably gonna be upset some of you that I put the deagle above the scar
But that's just how I feel about it
