Fortnite Chapter 2 arrived shrouded in mystery and without any patch notes. When players got in-game they found that the game’s arsenal had changed completely, but with no patch notes no one was quite sure what kind of damage the new an returning guns did. So, we’ve compiled a list of all the guns in Fortnite Chapter 2 and their rarities, and exactly how much damage they deal.
