Fortnite Guide: Weapons tier list in Chapter 2

#2 Burst Assault Rifle

Burst Assault v Assault Rifle

• Common: 27
• Uncommon: 29
• Rare: 30
• Epic: 32
• Legendary: 33

The Burst Assault Rifle has been around for a while as well but it has always been somewhat weak. But the upgraded Epic/Legendary version of this weapon is new to Fortnite and was only updated in Chapter 2.

It is somewhat more haphazard and deals a lot less damage than the regular Assault Rifle. But the new Epic/Legendary versions have made it an interesting weapon nonetheless.

B-Tier

#1 Rocket Launcher

Changes in the rocket launcher

• Common: 70 - 4.7s reload time
• Uncommon: 85 - 4.1s reload time
• Rare: 100 - 3.6s reload time
• Epic: 115 - 3.1s reload time
• Legendary: 130 - 2.5s reload time

Rocket Launchers before Chapter 2 were limited to higher rarities. But for the first time, there are now Common and Uncommon tiers of Rocket Launchers. You may have noticed that they are around a lot more frequently now.

But the lower rarities of the Rocket Launcher aren't very good. It does too little damage for too much reload time and takes up a lot of inventory space. It's definitely worth having an upgraded Rocket Launcher but if you are spending material to do so, it's worth spending it on something else.
