Fortnite: Battle Royale is an exciting, fast-paced romp in a colorful world. Those colors are more important than you may think, though, especially when it comes to picking out which weapons to use in a fight.
In general, weapons in Fortnite: Battle Royale are ranked by their colors. The better the color, the better the damage, and the better the weapon.
It’s important to get to know the color-codes in Fortnite and know which color means what, and therefore which weapon you should trade out for another if you come across it in the field.
Common (Grey)
Uncommon (Green)
Rare (Blue)
Epic (Purple)
Legendary (Orange)
Remember—the more rare the gun, the higher its damage, which usually means its DPS is higher as well.
