Top 10 Most Overpowered Items In 'Fortnite Battle Royale' History

Infinity Blade was added to the game during early weeks of Season 7, and it was removed shortly after. There were so many things wrong with it, beside its devastating damage. It also provided players with an increased mobility and increased health pool, and players were able to build while using it! On top of that, farming resources was much faster and easier with it.

Compact Submachine Gun has gone through numerous changes and it is still available in the game as the Epic and a Legendary variant of the SMG. When it just came out, the P90 dealt 23 and 24 damage, and it had a 50-bullet magazine!

Lightsabers were available in "Fortnite Battle Royale" during the promotion of a new "Star Wars" movie in December 2019. While they were not as good as the Infinity Blade, their destructive power was insane and farming materials was very quick and simple.

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.

When it was just released, the Boogie Bomb would make enemies dance for 10 seconds and they would be unable to build or fight during this period. In addition to this, they wouldn't stop dancing after taking damage, which made this item incredibly overpowered.

Similar to the Compact Submachine Gun, the Drum Gun was used during the spray meta. This hybrid weapon had a quick fire rate, a huge magazine, and a high damage output, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

Zapatron was in "Fortnite Battle Royale" for just a few days. This long-range weapon was capable of one-shotting enemies, and it was unique. However, the game creator decided to remove it because it did not fit the game style, and it is very unlikely that it will ever return to the game.

Despite going through several nerfs shortly after its release, the Mounted Turret was still very powerful. What made this weapon even more effective was the fact that players didn't have to spend an inventory slot on it, yet they could deal massive damage to both players and structures with it.

Season 9 of "Fortnite Battle Royale" brought numerous changes to weapons and items. The Combat Shotgun was the most effective weapon, and the most amazing thing about it was that it was capable of dealing massive damage from medium range. Its fast fire rate and range made it a must-have item.

The Heavy Sniper Rifle was capable of doing more than 350 damage to enemies with a headshot and it dealt more than 150 damage with a body shot. Players who had 50 shield were not safe from it, and what made it even more overpowered was the fact that it could one-shot walls and structures. It was a nightmare, especially for competitive players.
