Guns and weapons are the most important things you need to survive in Fortnite. But there are so many types of them, so how do you know which ones to get, which to avoid, and which ones work the best? Well, read more to find out!…

Different Colors of the Guns and Which Ones to Get

When you see guns in Fortnite, you know some are different colored than others. You might think that the colors are at random, but actually, these colors represent the rarity of the gun, and how good it is:

Golden; These are Legendary and the best in the whole game! They are usually located in vaults, rare chests, and supply drops, so if you spot one, make some space in your inventory slots, and grab it immediately!

Purple; These are Epic and are ranked second best, also like Golden, these guns are usually found in vaults, supply drops, and rare chests.

Blue; These are Rare and good for critical damage to your opponents. These guns come in handy, and you should have at least one of it in your inventory space.

Green; These are Uncommon, and perfect if you’re in a rush with another player in front of you. I recommend finding some of the better guns, but until you do, remember to keep these on hand if they are the only ones you can find.

Grey; These are Common, and ranked the worst guns in Fortnite, but if you can’t seem to find any better guns, then these will have to do for the time being.

Now that you are familiar with the different colors and their rarity, you can go on to learning which guns do the most damage, and which ones you should get…
