This loadout is focused on close-range combat as it utilizes the Havoc Pump Shotgun, the strongest weapon in the game if you want to get up close to your enemies. It also features a submachine gun for additional power.

Loadout:

• Havoc Pump Shotgun
• Twin Mag SMG
• Kinetic Blade
• Slurp Juice
• Small Shield Potion

With this loadout, you can absolutely dominate opponents from close range. Furthermore, you can use the Kinetic Blade to move faster across the map.

The Pulse Rifle was never very popular in the past, but that may change in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. The rifle is much faster now and is an absolute beast from both mid and close range.

Loadout:

• Overclocked Pulse Rifle
• Havoc Pump Shotgun
• Kinetic Blade

3) The Mythic loadout

There are several different Mythic weapons available in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. However, the Havoc Pump Shotgun and Highcard's Havoc Mythic Rifle are extremely powerful.

Loadout:

• Highcard's Havoc Suppressed Rifle
• Havoc Pump Shotgun
• Combra DMR
• Kinetic Blade
• Small Shield Potion

In this loadout, you have four weapons and can cover every range, from close to long. Since this combination focuses on offense, you can carry only one healing item, which is why we advise you to pick a Small Shield Potion.

4) The Pistol loadout

• Twin Mag SMG
• Heavy Sniper Rifle
• Slurp Juice

This loadout is perfect if you like using weapons with Light Ammo. You can make them stronger with Reality Augments and eliminate opponents even faster. Furthermore, the Heavy Sniper Rifle is perfect for taking enemies down from a distance.
