Fortnite Guide: Weapons tier list in Chapter 2

C-Tier

#1 Pistol

Changes in Pistol

• Common: 24
• Uncommon: 25
• Rare: 26
• Epic: 28
• Legendary: 29

Ah, the Pistol. A classic but not a very good classic. Just like the Burst Assault Rifle, the Pistol has also received a new design in Epic and Legendary rarities. Pistols are weapons for desperation and you should keep it around only if you can't find any other weapons.

#2 Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

Changes in the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

• Common: 95 - 3.3s reload time
• Uncommon: 100 - 3.2s reload time
• Rare: 105 - 3.0s reload time
• Epic: 110 - 2.5s reload time
• Legendary: 116 - 2.3s reload time

Snipers are another classic that has been around in Fortnite since the beginning. Snipers can do a lot of damage if you hit a target but they are generally only useful for long-range shots. It's not very viable to carry around because it also takes up a lot of inventory space. The reload times are usually quite long too.

The Epic and Legendary rarities of the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle can be really good though, with a faster reload time and a huge damage potential.
