The answer’s probably obvious by now, but it’s time for the big reveal. According to 26.57% of survey participants, the most overpowered weapon in “Fortnite” is none other than the Rocket Launcher.
The Rocket launcher can only fire one rocket at a time, but it does high damage to a wide area of effect. Though it has a long cooldown period, it’s undeniably powerful since one rocket can do such major, broad damage. This weapon may not be as effective on people as it is on buildings, though clearly some players find the trade-off well worth it. Some experts even discovered players can actually ride a Rocket Launcher. Players can team up with a partner to accomplish the feat, with one gamer riding the rocket and one launching the rocket for their partner to jump on top of. It takes precise timing, but the journey is worth the effort.
Even if fans don’t agree that the Rocket Launcher is the most overpowered weapon in “Fortnite,” the survey shows that there are plenty of massive damage-dealers to choose from. Weapons regularly come and go from the vault in “Fortnite,” so it’s possible that fans missing their favorite overpowered weapons might be in luck sometime in the future.
