Charged shotguns are the newest additions to the game, in place of the community-beloved pump shotguns, a decision that fans are still not over. Such players have chosen to stick with tactical shotguns. And while tactical shotguns are a viable option, charged shotguns provide the player with the opportunity to one-shot the enemy to the lobby if timed correctly.

SCAR is one of the most OG guns in the game, and never goes out of the meta. Its pinpoint accuracy and good damage makes it a strong choice for medium to long-range encounters. Its fast reload speed, combined with any weapon, makes it a great choice.

This gun comes as a wildcard to this list, as many people do not choose to take it. It can be obtained by eliminating 'Ocean' in Fortnite, and can effectively be used to snipe and deal damage to enemies that are located afar in the map. This is because the weapon can dish out some serious damage over a distance.

#2 Submachine Gun

This gun should not come as a shocker for most players, as the Submachine gun dishes out more damage than a shotgun, if you land all of your shots and stay close to your enemy. It can melt enemies, and when combined with the Grappler, can help you push and kill any enemy at sight, if they are late to build.

#1 Mythic Drum Gun

The Drum Gun is the most powerful gun in the game, and can be found by eliminating 'Jules' in the Authority. It has a massive fire rate and can penetrate builds, and melt enemies through it. This weapon can be sprayed and if the enemy is not careful, can land you some very easy eliminations. The damage of this gun, combined with its fire rate, makes it the most formidable gun that one can face in Fortnite Season 3.
