5 best items that have been in Fortnite since Chapter 1
5) Launch Pad
The Launch Pad is an item that can be placed down on the ground or a horizontal build structure in Fortnite. Players can then jump onto it or run into it and be sent flying into the air.
They are then able to deploy their glider and safely land. Without the Launch Pad, many would have fallen victim to the Storm.
4) Shield Potion
The Shield Potion has been an incredible item since the very beginning. Players get their hands on one or two and automatically feel safer against the oncoming horde of opponents fighting to be number one. "Popping shield" will forever be a top tier Fortnite activity.
3) Pump Shotgun
Love it or hate it, the Pump Shotgun is the granddaddy of all shotguns in Fortnite. This weapon has seen plenty of tweaks. Coupled with that, it has even gone through vaulting and unvaulting at one point.
It remains one of the deadliest close range weapons in all of gaming and every player is fond of the "double Pump" meta from the past.
2) Wood
Wood is the most underrated pickup item in Fortnite. It is what players use to crank 90s and build to the sky. The item's abundance seems to have made it go unappreciated. Well, it doesn't get looked over anymore.
Players have Wood to thank for blocking those rockets and getting them to the high ground as the Storm closes in.
1) Assault Rifle
Nothing tops the Assault Rifle in terms of Fortnite items that have existed since Chapter 1. Regardless of rarity and season, players have used this to net thousands of kills in the game.
It eliminates enemies, breaks down builds, and sounds incredible when a headshot lands. The Assault Rifle reigns supreme and will continue to do so through Chapter 3 and beyond.
