The Night Rose Veiled Precision SMG is a beast and it definitely deserves the top spot in this best weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 list. This mythic weapon can shred your opponents with an insane fire rate and pretty amazing long-range accuracy.

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun is now the king of close-range combat because it deals an awesome 92 base damage that is even better than most mythic weapons in this season. When you equip this shotgun, try to aim carefully and you can wipe out opponents in just two shots.

| Fire Rate | 5.55 |
| Magazine Size | 25 |
| Reload Time | 2.80s |
- Where to Find: Chests, Floor Loot, or purchase from Bushranger at Nightshift Forest for 200 Gold
- Type: Assault Rifle
With the hitscan mechanics back in Chapter 6, the Holo Twister Assault Rifle shines brightest at medium to long range. In mid-range battles, the Holo-13 Optic that is attached to this weapon makes the fight easier, giving you great accuracy when you need it most. The weapon’s solid damage and easy-to-handle recoil make it a great choice for both new players and experienced ones.
4. Typhoon Blade
| DPS | 48 |
| Base Damage | 30 |

- Type: Melee/Utility
Don’t sleep on the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite Chapter 6. This melee weapon is all about speed, letting you move quickly without burning your stamina while sprinting. The Cyclone Slashes are perfect for putting pressure on opponents and tearing down builds fast. If you use combos with this katana, you can easily defeat your opponent (especially if you find the Mythic one). If you’re looking to get up close and personal with your enemies, this is the weapon you want.
5. Fire Oni Mask
| DPS | 100 |
| Base Damage | 100 |
| Fire Rate | 1 |
| Magazine Size | 2 |
| Cooldown | 3.5s |
- Where to Find: Elemental Chests and Mythic version from defeating Shogun X
- Type: Utility
The Fire Oni Mask actually brings a unique advantage to combat. When you fire the projectiles, you will see that they don’t just hit players, they can destroy structures too. So if you want to force them out of cover, use this Oni Mask. If you get your hands on the mythic version from Shogun X, you’re in for even more damage and a quicker cooldown. It’s a must-have for any aggressive playstyle.
6. Veiled Precision SMG (Regular)
| DPS | 154.5 |
| Base Damage | 15 |
| Fire Rate | 10.3 |

The regular Veiled Precision SMG might not hit as hard as the mythic version, but it still packs a serious punch and it becomes our favorite in the new chapter. The Red Eye Sight optic makes it incredibly accurate when you are using it from a far distance where most SMGs would miss. Thanks to its fast fire rate, it’s a great choice for players who can’t get the mythic version but still want to control mid-range battles.
