Comparing the Snipers in Fortnite Battle Royal



The sniper rifles in Fortnite Battle Royal are always a fan favorite. They are one of the most satisfying weapons to get an elimination with due to the level of difficultly. Unlike, Call of Duty where the bullet in snipers gets to the enemy immediately in Fortnight you have to time your shots differently by having to take into account distance and if the target is moving. The bullets will drop down when shooting long distances so there is a need to shot higher and the bullets shoot slower then call of duty so you have to shoot in front of the target. Now I will break down the sniper’s statistics. (links are videos to watch each sniper in action)

  • ·         Bolt-action sniper: The best tier(gold) has body damage of 116 and head-shot damage of 290. Its reload time is 2.7 seconds.
  • ·         Heavy Sniper: The best tier(gold) of this weapon has body damage of 157 and head-shot damage of 392.5. It reloads in 4.1 seconds.  
  • ·         Hunting Rifle: The best tier(blue) has body damage of 90 and head-shot damage of 225. Its’s reload time is 1.8 seconds. This gun is unique because to does not have a scope, you just room in slightly.
  • ·         Semi-auto Sniper: The best tier(blue) has body damage of 75 and 187 head-shot damage. Its reload time of 2.5 seconds. However, with this gun you do not need to reload after every shot. You can send off 10 shots before reloading

When determining which one is the best it is all personal preference. They all have their unique advantages and disadvantages. For example, the advantage of the Heavy Sniper is its high damage, but its disadvantage is the long reload time. The hunting rifle lacks a scope but has an excellent head-shot damage. The semi-auto sniper is the weakest weapon, but you can shoot it the fastest. Finally, the bolt-action sniper. This weapon has the least distance between advantages and disadvantages. Its not as strong as the heavy sniper yet second most powerful and it has a reasonable reload time. This is why the Bolt Action is my favorite.
