Fortnite has a history of releasing weapons that are way too powerful to be justified having in-game.
This doesn't include bosses who have weapons like Iron Man, Midas, and Wolverine because their weapons are made with the sole purpose of being overpowered.

Top 5 overpowered weapons in Fortnite
#5 - Light Machine Gun
The whole point of this weapon was to shred through structures, but it was too good at that. It has gone back into the vault and been unvaulted a handful of times. It is technically unfair and overpowered, but it makes sense to have this in Fortnite.
The last time it was out, the headshot damage multiplier was lowered slightly, but it was still a frighteningly strong weapon that could even eat through metal structures.

#4 - Guided Missile
Players will remember how borderline unfair it was to be scouted by someone who had this in their arsenal. Players could literally guide each missile to hitting its target, regardless of how impossible the shot was.
It was not an instant kill, but it made the fight uneven right from the start if someone was caught slacking against one. The first time it was vaulted, it was because it was overpowered. The next time Fortnite vaulted the missile, it was because it was so hard to find that it might as well not have been in the game.

#3 - Heavy Shotgun
Some players want to see this come back, but this is highly debated against. This was the go-to weapon for anyone playing the game. If anyone was too close in a build battle, it annihilated them.
This overpowered weapon was patched, but other shotguns were almost useless comparatively, and it made no one want other shotguns. This was vaulted in Fortnite for a good reason.

#2 - Drum Gun
Many have wondered why this was even in the game. It was clear that Midas and Jules needed something that was theirs, but the regular drum gun was incredibly overpowered at the uncommon level.
Every patch seemed only to make it stronger, and at the end of its life, it was a better weapon than the light machine gun. This can be taken out of the vault if Epic Games lowers the damage.

#1 - Infinity Blade
The most all-around overpowered weapon in Fortnite in the minds of some players. It destroyed anything that gave materials in one hit, it destroyed structures, and it destroyed players.
The second a player found it in Polar peak, health and shields would regenerate, and the player would become unstoppable. The player would indeed lose everything else but did they really need any more weapons?
It needs no ammo. It takes three hits to kill anyone with full health and instant regeneration when killing anyone. On top of increased movement speed, a player with this could be unstoppable. It's understandable why it existed, but this one should stay in the Fortnite vault.
