Top 7 best weapons to use in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is underway, and with it comes a fresh loot pool that shakes up the weapon meta. Epic Games has phased out several older guns and introduced new ones — including powerful Mythics and unique 'Unstable' weapons.
Whether you're aiming for Victory Royales or just trying to stay alive longer, here are the seven best weapons dominating the battlefield this season.
1.
Sentinel Pump Shotgun

A reliable fan-favorite returns, and it's still a beast. The Sentinel Pump might be slower to fire than some alternatives, but it hits hard and rewards precision. In build fights or box battles, there's still no replacing a well-placed Pump shot.
2.
Tracking Visor

Not technically a weapon, but it's a meta-changer.
The Tracking Visor scans the area and highlights enemies through walls for a short duration. With unlimited uses on cooldown, it provides crucial intel in squad and solo modes. Only one teammate needs to carry it, but it can turn the tide of any fight.
3. Bass Boost Gloves

Part mobility, part chaos, the Bass Boost gloves let players bounce through the air and knock back enemies or destroy builds with a shockwave attack. They don't deal much direct damage but are great for disrupting fights and repositioning safely.

4. Unstable Frostfire Shotgun

A top-tier exotic with a twist, this shotgun alternates between boosting your speed and slowing down enemies. It combines the raw power of the Pump with added utility. It's not always easy to find, but it's a must-pick when available.
5. Spire Rifle

With a high damage output and burst-fire capability, the Spire Rifle outshines most ARs this season. Though it lacks a scope, it remains effective at medium to long range and is now a staple in competitive and casual matches alike.
6. Robin's Grapnel Gun

Mobility is everything in Fortnite, and this Mythic item offers exactly that. A single-use grappler with glider redeploy, Robin's Grapnel Gun helps you escape danger, chase down enemies, or rotate into zone with ease. It's limited in use but highly valuable.
7. Veiled Precision SMG

Fast fire rate, solid accuracy, and a scope make this SMG one of the most versatile weapons in the current meta. It's a strong secondary in most loadouts, especially with ARs taking a backseat this season.
With new items arriving in patches and balance changes likely, Fortnite's weapon rankings are always in flux. But for now, these seven stand at the top of the game.

Discord to let you try out Fortnite for free through Nvidia GeForce Now
Nvidia has announced a partnership with Discord and Epic Games that will allow Discord users to try out video games without buying them, starting with Fortnite. The upcoming feature is powered by Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming platform, enabling gameplay directly within Discord without downloads or installation. A demo of this capability will be showcased to a select group of testers during Gamescom 2025, which begins on August 20 in Cologne, Germany. In a video shared on Nvidia GeForce's official YouTube channel, Discord co-founder Stanislav Vishnevskiy explained: 'We've had a vision for players trying new games instantly inside of Discord, and GeForce Now has proven itself to be the leader in high-performance cloud gaming to make this possible. Demoing this with Fortnite is a great way for us to prove this concept out and create a compelling experience for players in the future, and we've been actively working with Nvidia to bring this new experience to life.' For now, the feature will remain a demo, but Vishnevskiy confirmed that Discord is planning to expand the experience and will share more details in the near future. As reported by The Verge, users will simply need to click a 'try a game' button and connect their Epic Games account to begin playing directly from within Discord. The Fortnite demo will offer a free 30-minute trial, though the duration could change once the feature rolls out more widely. Cloud gaming platforms have attempted similar approaches in the past. Gaikai, one of the earliest cloud gaming services later acquired by Sony in 2012, once offered instant trial gameplay for users. Sony had even explored extending such demos to the PlayStation 4, though the plan never reached consumers. More recently, Google's Stadia allowed browser-based game demos before shutting down in 2023.
