Fortnite player showcases Warforged Assault Rifle build that shreds opponents

Fortnite's arsenal of weapons is vast and ever-growing, with Epic Games constantly introducing new and innovative weapons that keep the game's landscape dynamic and fresh. While sometimes these weapons can be underwhelming, others can grow to prove themselves to be some of the best weapons a player can carry. Such is the case with the Warforged Assault Rifle, the brand new AR introduced with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 2.

The Warforged Assault Rifle, which was initially thought to be one of the weaker weapons in the Fortnite Greek Mythology season, has become a fan-favorite, especially with the right Weapon Mods. This is perfectly highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/K-Dawg6999, where the player showcased a build for the Warforged Assault Rifle that allowed them to take on an entire squad.

In the Reddit clip, the player can be seen wearing the Katt skin from the Fortnite Crew Pack while taking on a trio of enemies all dressed in the Gojo Saturo skin. The player was able to eliminate all three enemies with their customized Warforged Assault Rifle and Frenzy Auto Shotgun.

Comments from the Fortnite community

The clip has attracted a lot of eyes from the Fortnite community, with players coming forward to express their appreciation for the skills displayed in the Reddit clip.

Reddit user u/YukonnokuY wondered what the attachments used in the clip are, to which Reddit user u/Repealer explained how the Warforged Assault Rifle works best with Weapon Mods that reduce the recoil since the weapon naturally has high recoil.

Reddit user u/Longshot_45 expressed how they prefer to use the Suppressor Weapon Mod on their weapons to avoid alerting enemies around them, but the muzzle break works better for the Warforged Assault Rifle because of its high recoil.

Commenting on the enemy team's choice of Gojo Saturo outfits, Reddit user u/Zer0_l1f3 jokingly commented:

"A trio of Gojos oh my god. It’s the 18 eyes."

What are the best Weapon Mods for the Warforged Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?

I know it's Zero build, I know these guys are bad but the Warforged absolutely shreds with the right attachments. byu/K-Dawg6999 inFortNiteBR

The Warforged Assault Rifle is not exactly a versatile weapon in Fortnite. It is effective in close to medium range, but due to its high recoil and kickback, it is difficult to hit targets at a distance. However, as showcased by the Reddit clip, the Warforged Assault Rifle can be made more efficient by equipping the right Weapon Mods at the Mod Benches.

Given below are the best Mods that you can apply to the Warforged Assault Rifle to get the best out of this powerful weapon:

• Optics: Since the weapon is usually used at close range, you don't necessarily require a sight. However, if you want more precise aiming, you can choose a Red-Eye Sight or Holo-13 Optic.
• Magazines: Drum Mag
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Barrel: Muzzle Brake

While Weapon Mods can vary according to playstyle, these Mods should provide you with an Assault Rifle that is reliable and efficient at dispatching enemies at close to medium range.
