Weapons & Items

Understand Fortnite weapon rarities from Common to Mythic. Learn which guns and items are best for your loadout.

Rarities:

• Common (Gray): The lowest tier, often found as basic floor loot. Food items are also Common rarity.
• Uncommon (Green): Commonly found as floor loot and in normal chests. Includes items like the Cluster Clinger and small shield potions.
• Rare (Blue): The minimum rarity to be considered viable for winning matches. Guaranteed from gun cases and Mythic Chests. Also includes big pots and shield fish.
• Epic (Purple): An intermediate rarity that can sometimes rival Legendaries depending on attachments. Includes items like the Ballistic Shield, Grapple Blade, and Shockwave Grenade.
• Legendary (Orange): Less common, often found in Gun Cases or Mythic Chests. Also includes vault keycards and other special items.
• Mythic (Gold): More powerful variants of existing guns, limited to one per player per match. Acquired by defeating the 5 bosses on the map. Includes the Cardboard Box from the MGS collaboration.

While higher rarity is usually better, a lower-rarity weapon might be more suitable for a specific situation. Don't hesitate to swap if a less rare gun performs better for your current needs.
