How Much Damage Does a Headshot Do in Fortnite?

With the return of hitscan in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, understanding headshot damage is crucial for victory. Headshot damage varies significantly across weapon types and rarities. Some weapons offer significantly faster eliminations due to their superior headshot damage and hitscan mechanics.

The table below details the headshot damage for every weapon in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, helping you choose the most effective weapon for your strategy.

All Headshot Stats for Assault Rifles in Chapter 6 Season 1

Holo Twister Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
42	44	47	50	51	54
27	29	30	32	33	35
25	25	25	25	25	25
5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55	5.55
2.80s	2.67s	2.55s	2.42s	2.29s	2.17s

The Holo Twister Assault Rifle excels in Chapter 6 Season 1 due to its low recoil, effective scope, hitscan mechanics, and high rate of fire, making it easy to land shots.

Fury Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
33	35	36	38	39	42
22	23	24	25	26	28
28	28	28	28	28	28
7.45	7.45	7.45	7.45	7.45	7.45
2.91s	2.78s	2.65s	2.52s	2.38s	2.25s

Ideal for short to medium ranges, the Fury Assault Rifle's rapid fire rate is advantageous in close-quarters combat. However, its lower damage output and recoil can be challenging to manage.

Ranger Assault Rifle

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
46	48	51	54	56	58
31	32	34	36	37	39
25	25	25	25	25	25
4	4	4	4	4	4
2.75s	2.625s	2.5s	2.375s	2.25s	2.125s

The Ranger Assault Rifle boasts the highest headshot damage among assault rifles but suffers from a lack of scope and significant recoil, making it less reliable than the Holo Twister.

All Headshot Stats for Shotguns in Chapter 6 Season 1

Oni Shotgun

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
105	110	110	115	120	135
77	82	86	91	95	110
2	2	2	2	2	2
1.25	1.25	1.25	1.25	1.25	1.25
2.42s	2.31s	2.2s	2.09s	1.98s	1.87s

The Oni Shotgun's high damage and fast fire rate are offset by its limited two-shot capacity, making multi-kill scenarios less likely.

Twinfire Auto Shotgun

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
100	105	110	115	120	125
65	72	76	79	83	86
14	14	14	14	14	14
1.9	1.9	1.9	1.9	1.9	1.9
5.2s	5s	4.8s	4.5s	4.3s	4s

The Twinfire Auto Shotgun provides a high ammo capacity and rapid fire rate, similar to the Tactical Shotgun, with comparable headshot damage to the Oni Shotgun.

Sentinel Pump Shotgun

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
162	172	180	189	195	200
92	98	103	108	114	119
5	5	5	5	5	5
0.85	0.85	0.85	0.85	0.85	0.85
5.39s	5.14s	4.9s	4.66s	4.41s	4.16s

The Sentinel Pump Shotgun delivers the highest damage output among shotguns, potentially one-shotting players with a headshot at Legendary rarity. However, its extremely slow fire rate is a significant drawback.

Surgefire SMG

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
17	18	20	21	23	24
11	12	13	14	15	16
40	40	40	40	40	40
7.25	7.25	7.25	7.25	7.25	7.25
3.63s	3.46s	3.3s	3.13s	2.97s	2.81s

The Surgefire SMG's fire rate increases with sustained trigger pull, but this comes at the cost of increased recoil, making consistent headshots difficult.

Veiled Precision SMG

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
26	28	30	32	33	35
15	16	17	18	19	20
21	21	21	21	21	21
10.3	10.3	10.3	10.3	10.3	10.3
2.37s	2.26s	2.15s	2.04s	1.93s	1.83s

The Veiled Precision SMG stands out with its scope, hitscan capabilities, high damage output, and manageable recoil, making it a top contender.

All Headshot Stats for Pistols in Chapter 6 Season 1

Suppressed Pistol

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
46	50	52	54	58
23	25	26	27	29
12	12	12	12	12
6.75	6.75	6.75	6.75	6.75
1.54s	1.47s	1.4s	1.33s	1.26s

A suitable starting weapon, the Suppressed Pistol offers a decent fire rate but suffers from significant damage falloff at range.

Lock On Pistol

Rarity	Rare	Headshot Damage	Bodyshot Damage	Magazine Size	Fire Rate	Reload Time
		31	25	12	15	1.76s

The Lock On Pistol, a less common weapon, fires four shots at once after locking onto a target, but achieving consistent headshots requires precise burst firing.
