If you need to claim more Victory Royales in Fortnite Ranked, having the best weapon is absolutely necessary. While there’s a plethora of weapons to choose from, 31 to be exact in Chapter 4 Season 2, the best of the best is what you’re going to want to get your hands on.

That’s what we’re here to tell you, so here are the best weapons in Fortnite Ranked for you to grab. Note that every weapon is only as good as your skill, so try to choose them based on:

• Close quarters or distance combat, whatever you are best at
• How accurate you are

Heisted Run ‘N’ Gun SMG (Exotic)

An easy to use but deadly at close range submachine gun, the Heisted Run ‘N’ Gun SMG makes this list not only because it’s a great weapon, but because it has the Slap effect infused into it. Whenever you sprint, the weapon will automatically reload. This weapon is perfect for newer players or veterans of Fortnite Ranked, and you can’t go wrong with this rapid-fire gun introduced in Chapter 4 Season 1.

Enhanced Havoc Pump Shotgun

This shotgun is identical to the Mythic Havoc Pump Shotgun, so if you’re familiar with that one this will be a breeze to use. The Enhanced Havoc Pump Shotgun may be slow to fire and have a short range, but every bullet in this shotgun is a doozy. While we don’t recommend this one for distance, in close quarters, this is the most powerful shotgun to have on you.

Heisted Accelerant Shotgun (Exotic)

Also introduced in Chapter 4 Season 2, this shotgun is medium range, so you’ll have a bit more space than you would with the Enhanced Havoc. That doesn’t mean it isn’t also stellar in close quarters, but it’s nice to have a little room to breathe. This is the exotic version of the Maven Auto Shotgun, and its short recovery time between shots is even quicker with the Pepper Effect, which shortens that recovery time by continually firing.

Lightsaber

Melee weapons deserve the spotlight, too. The Lightsaber is the best melee weapon you can get your hands on, with two swings, three spin attacks, and a final slam for great damage as the usual order. This weapon also allows you to block shots, and the cooldown after you’ve blocked them is only three seconds. Plus, they look really cool.

Heisted Blink Mag SMG

The last on the list but certainly not the least, the Heisted Blink Mag SMG is the exotic version of the already fantastic Twin Mag SMG. This submachine gun has an incredibly fast firing rate, and with two magazines attached for quicker reloads, speed is the name of the game. You’ll also get a Zero Point Dash effect with this equipped, so getting out of tough situations is a breeze.

These are the weapons that will help get you the best Victory Royales in the Ranked mode.
