#GamingBytes: Five 'Fortnite' guns that pros use
Fortnite by Epic Games has cemented its place as one of the most popular Battle Royales. Epic has dominated the genre with a constant influx of new and exciting content that keeps attracting an increasing player base, leading to higher levels of competition. Since newcomers might find it difficult to win the Victory Royale, we bring five guns that Fortnite pros use.
SCAR: The trusty assault rifle you need in your arsenal
The SCAR is one of the handiest weapons you could be carrying in your arsenal. It is not that the assault rifle is outstanding in any one particular characteristic, but that it has overall excellent handling. The gun has great accuracy, deals heavy damage and can be handled effectively across varied ranges of firefights. This makes it a preferred weapon for most pros in-game.
Tactical Shotgun: High firing rate at close quarters
While the Pump Action Shotgun deals more damage, the Tactical Shotgun is more preferred by pros for close range combat. It trades damage for a higher fire rate. Thus players can strafe around in close range while holding down the trigger. The accumulated damage from this weapon is enough to take out the enemy on the receiving end of this vicious onslaught.
Bolt action sniper: Assured death from afar
The Bolt Action sniper is a must for pros especially towards the end of the match. The incredibly powerful weapon can down enemies with a well-placed shot. While players must remember to account for bullet drop and increase their shooting accuracy before using the sniper rifle, this gun can allow you to eliminate your enemies without moving a single muscle, keeping your location hidden.
M16: A handy assault rifle unless you are firing long-range
One of the most commonly available assault rifles in the game is the M16. While this gun is incredibly handy in close and mid-range engagements, it loses its effectiveness in long-range firefights since the recoil makes it inaccurate. Nonetheless, most pros recommend using this gun if you find it, since the damage and accuracy up close can easily drop opponents with some well-placed shots.
Rocket Launcher: Bring an explosive element into your gameplay
The Rocket Launcher might seem like the most powerful weapon on this list, but pros suggest you do not use it for killing enemies. Although it can be used to deal heavy damage to squads, the best use of Rocket Launcher is to quickly and effectively wipe out enemy structures, leaving them completely defenseless. However, players must remember that Rocket Launcher ammo is scarce.
