Epic Games has made numerous changes to weapons and items in "Fortnite Battle Royale." The popular video game looks much different than it looked when it was released, in September 2017, and its creator keeps changing it. The game has had some major changes with all buffs and nerfs to items, and here are five most overpowered items "Fortnite" players have used.
Compact Submachine Gun (Nerfed)
Compact SMG was introduced with the v5.10 patch and it immediately became the most powerful weapon in the game. This gun fit the spray meta perfectly with its 50-bullet magazine capacity. Its base damage was 23/24, and using two of these guns made players unstoppable!
Guided Missile (Vaulted)
Added in the v3.4 patch, this weapon was incredibly powerful. It did 105/110 damage per hit and players were allowed to control it for 18 seconds. Even though it was possible to defend against this weapon by building, it gave players a huge advantage, which is why the game creator decided to nerf it and eventually remove it from the game.
