The Best Fortnite Weapon Mods

Some of my favorite Fortnite weapon mods are the ones that will reduce my weapon’s recoil and improve aim down sights. These correct of the more dangerous aspects of shooting a weapon in Fortnite, and effectively taking down important. Noting those factors, my favorite weapon mods are the Drum Mag, Laser, Muzzle Brake, Red Eye Sight, and Vertical Foregrip.

Drum Mag

You can never go wrong with the Drum Mag in Fortnight. Although it does not provide an overall passive to a weapon, it increases the amount of ammunition it can hold. This can be extremely useful in nearly every fight, giving you a few extra shots to take out an opponent before they can score a hit against you. I almost always try to have an SMG or an assault rifle with a Drum Mag on my character.

Laser

The next is the Laser, another minor weapon mod in Fortnite that is a huge boost to your weapon. For another who needs to react quickly, using the Laser ensures that your hipfire shots are going to have a higher chance of hitting your target, which makes it perfect for fighting in close-quarters encounters. I typically find this happening close to the end of a match.

Muzzle Brake

Similar to the Laser, the Muzzle Brake reduces your weapon’s overall recoil, giving you a better chance of hitting an opponent. In Fortnite, a weapon’s sway can make or break you when you only have seconds to fire off a few shots. One of my favorite combinations is to couple the Muzzle Brake with the Laser, where the weapon rarely ever moves away from my crosshair.

Red Eye Sight

The Red Eye Sight is an excellent scope to place on your weapon when using a close-range weapon. You can never beat the Sniper Scope for a long-range rifle, but the Red Eye Sight makes it much easier to narrow down a target. It is not good against multiple targets, as you’ll be zoomed in to the sights of your weapon, potentially making yourself vulnerable to anyone who tries to outflank you during your Fortnite match.

Vertical Foregrip

The final weapon mod I recommend in Fortnite is the Vertical Foregrip. If you want to try keeping your weapon’s recoil down and you’re worried about the overall spread of bullets, the Vertical Foregrip is a great way to keep them in check. It’s a fantastic weapon mod for you to use on any shotgun, or you can use it on any burst-fire weapon that you find during your Fortnite match.
