All new weapons from Fortnite Chapter 3 presented – these are their strengths and weaknesses
In Fortnite, thanks to Chapter 3, new weapons were brought into the loot pool. Since they did not exist before, we will show you on MeinMMO which weapons they are and which stats they can show.
Where does the weapon information come from? The information about the values of the weapons refer to the existing values, which can be read out in the inventory from the weapons menu. As a result, we went to a map we created ourselves and collected all weapon values in creative mode.
Those are all new weapons in Chapter 3 Season 1
Fortnite has added a new weapon for almost every type of weapon. All the old weapons were put in the safe. That’s why you now expect seven new weapons on the new map:
- Ranger assault rifle
- MK-7 assault rifle
- Striker-Pumpgun
- Automatic shotgun
- Hand fire pistol
- Spiked submachine gun
- Repeater hunting rifle
Ranger assault rifle
What kind of weapon is that? It is an assault rifle that can be used well at medium and long distances. The Ranger has a slow rate of fire, but it catches up with it with high damage. But in hand-to-hand combat you will go under with this gun.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 30 – 36 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 2.7-2.2 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 25 bullets
Where can you find them? Everywhere on the map, on the floor, in boxes and also in safes.
MK-7 assault rifle
What kind of weapon is that? This is the first rifle in Fortnite that has a red dot sight. With this you can switch to first-person mode when aiming, so that you can place your shots more precisely. Furthermore, the weapon has a high rate of fire and can score well at all distances.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 21 – 25 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 3.4 – 2.8 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 35 bullets
Where can you find them? Everywhere on the map, on the floor, in boxes and also in safes.
Striker-Pumpgun
What kind of weapon is that? Not quite as powerful as the well-known pump gun, but the Striker is still devastating. It deals blatant damage in close combat, but suffers from its wide dispersion as the distance increases.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 86.4 – 105.6 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 5.5 – 4.5 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 5 bullets

Automatic shotgun
What kind of weapon is that? This is a fully automatic shotgun. It doesn’t fire quite as fast as the drum shotgun, but it makes up for it with significantly more damage. The special thing about this weapon is that two bullets are filled into the magazine when it is reloaded. So you can reload faster, despite the long reload time.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 75.6 – 92.4 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 8.8 – 7.2 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 8 bullets

Hand fire pistol
What kind of weapon is that? A new pistol with a mid-range focus. The hand-fire pistol has a powerful recoil, but also more damage. It unfolds its true power when you fire individual shots in a focused manner.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 25 – 29 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 1.54 – 1.33 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 15 bullets
Where can you find them? Everywhere on the map, on the floor, in boxes and also in safes.
Spiked submachine gun
What kind of weapon is that? Fortnite already had many MPs, but the spiked MP, as the name suggests, stands out in particular. With its good range, it can not only score points at a short distance, but also shine from a distance. With it you let every wall collapse and you can take the enemy by surprise.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 18 – 22 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 2.7-2.2 seconds (depending on the value)
- Magazine size: 30 bullets

Hunting bolt action rifle
What kind of weapon is that? This hunting rifle lives up to its name thanks to its enduring capabilities. Unusual for snipers in Fortnite, the rifle has a magazine with 3 rounds. In addition, with good accuracy you can cause fatal damage, which every opponent sends into the afterlife.
Important information about the weapon:
- Damage: amounts to 81.0 – 99.0 (depending on the value)
- Reload rate: takes 3.7-3.0 seconds (depending on the value)
