• How Much Damage Does a Headshot Do in Fortnite?

In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, the return of hitscan mechanics has made it crucial for players to understand the headshot damage of each weapon in the game. The damage output varies significantly based on the weapon's type and rarity, which can be the deciding factor in securing a Victory Royale. Below, you'll find detailed headshot damage stats for all weapons available in the current season, helping you choose the right arsenal for your battles.

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 choice among Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1. Its low recoil and integrated scope make it exceptionally easy to land shots, thanks to the hitscan mechanics and a consistent fire rate.

Fury Assault Rifle

The Fury Assault Rifle excels at short and medium ranges with its rapid fire rate, making it ideal for close encounters. However, it offers the lowest damage output among Assault Rifles and can be challenging to control due to its recoil.

Ranger Assault Rifle

While the Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage within its class, its lack of a scope and significant kickback make it less reliable for many players. Those seeking a more controlled and faster-firing option might prefer the Holo Twister.

All Headshot Stats for Shotguns in Chapter 6 Season 1

Oni Shotgun

The Oni Shotgun's fast fire rate and high damage make it a formidable choice, but its double-barrel nature limits it to just two shots, making it challenging to secure a kill, even with consecutive headshots in Zero Build mode.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun is highly favored due to its similarity to the Tactical Shotgun, offering a large magazine and a fast rate of fire, with headshot damage comparable to the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage among shotguns, capable of nearly one-shotting a full Health and Shield player at Legendary rarity with a headshot. However, its slow fire rate can be a disadvantage compared to other Pump Shotguns.

All Headshot Stats for SMGs in Chapter 6 Season 1

Surgefire SMG

The Surgefire SMG's unique feature is its increasing fire rate the longer the trigger is held, though this comes with the trade-off of higher recoil, making consistent headshots difficult.

Veiled Precision SMG

The Veiled Precision SMG is the top choice among SMGs, thanks to its scope and hitscan capabilities, offering high damage output and manageable recoil.

All Headshot Stats for Pistols in Chapter 6 Season 1

Suppressed Pistol

The Suppressed Pistol serves well as a starting weapon but is less effective at longer ranges due to its damage drop-off.

Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, though rare, can lock onto targets and fire multiple shots at once. However, achieving headshots with this weapon often requires manual aiming in short bursts.
