Hot or Drop

With so many weapons and items being vaulted and introduced to us just only a week ago, what weapons should you carry and which weapons should you drop?

The perfect loadout should comprise:

SLOT 1 - AR

SLOT 2 - Shotgun

SLOT 3 - SMG

SLOT 4 - Healing

SLOT 5 - Sniper/ Rocket Launcher/ Healing

During a game of Fortnite this is the bog standard class setup that every player should be aiming towards. We understand that this may not always be possible... but if the Fortnite Gods are on your side, then this set up shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.

Here are all the weapons available in the Chapter 2 loot pool:
