Tool-specific guide
What the Fortnite Weapon Comparison calculates
The Fortnite Weapon Comparison places two rarity-specific weapon rows side by side using documented DPS, body damage, fire rate, magazine size, and reload time. The 44-row table spans assault rifles, shotguns, and SMGs; it does not claim every row is in the current seasonal loot pool.

Mechanics, example, and decisions
A result you can audit
Each section documents the calculation and the limits that apply to this specific gameplay problem.
How This Fortnite Weapon Comparison Works01+
The displayed DPS equals damage per shot × shots per second. Each row also retains magazine size and reload time, which are contextual stats rather than part of the uninterrupted DPS number.
Worked Example for the Fortnite Weapon Comparison02+
The rare Hammer Assault Rifle row shows 30 damage at 5.8 shots per second: 30 × 5.8 = 174 DPS. Its 20-round magazine and 2.2-second reload explain why sustained output can differ.
How to Use the Fortnite Weapon Comparison Result03+
Use the profile to understand trade-offs, then calculate TTK with actual target health and live weapon stats. High DPS may be less useful if bloom or reload interrupts damage.
Fortnite Weapon Comparison Accuracy and Limitations04+
The rows are a reviewed third-party stat snapshot. They include rarity, magazine, and reload data but not falloff, headshot multipliers, recoil, bloom, or current seasonal availability.
- 44 rifle, shotgun, and SMG rarity rows.
- It is not a current-loot-pool tier list.
- Hotfixes and mode-specific variants require in-game verification.
Player questions
Fortnite calculator FAQs
Clear answers about calculations, data, independence, privacy and practical use.
Are these current Fortnite loot-pool weapons?
Not necessarily. They are exact all-weapons stat rows reviewed from Fortnite.GG; availability varies by season and mode.
Why can lower DPS still win a fight?
Accuracy, burst damage, range, cover timing, magazine, and headshots can matter more than sustained theoretical DPS.
Where do I calculate exact shots to eliminate?
Use the TTK Calculator with current damage, fire rate, and target health.
