With the reintroduction of hitscan mechanics in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, understanding the headshot damage of each weapon becomes crucial for players aiming to secure a Victory Royale. Each gun in Fortnite's current loot pool has varying headshot damage based on its weapon type and rarity, making some weapons exceptionally effective at sending opponents back to the lobby in a flash.

All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle stands out as the top Assault Rifle in Chapter 6 Season 1, thanks to its low recoil and equipped scope. Its hitscan mechanics and high fire rate make it a breeze to take down enemies.

Fury Assault Rifle

Ideal for short to medium-range engagements, the Fury Assault Rifle boasts a rapid fire rate. However, its lower damage output and challenging recoil might require some practice to master.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Although the Ranger Assault Rifle offers the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, its lack of a scope and significant kickback can make it less reliable. Players might prefer the Holo Twister for its better control and accuracy.

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun packs a punch with its fast fire rate and high damage output. However, its double-barrel design limits it to only two shots, making it challenging to secure kills with back-to-back headshots in Zero Build.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is a favorite due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and quick firing rate. Its headshot damage matches that of the Oni Shotgun, making it a versatile choice.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns. A Legendary headshot can nearly one-shot a player with full Health and Shield, though its slow fire rate can be a drawback.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's fire rate increases the longer you hold down the trigger, but this comes with significant recoil, making consistent headshots challenging.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top SMG choice, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities. It offers high damage and manageable recoil, making it a formidable weapon in close quarters.

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol is a solid starting weapon after landing from the Battle Bus, but its effectiveness drops off quickly due to its lower damage output.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, a rare find in Battle Royale, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots. However, achieving headshots requires manual aiming in short bursts.
