The following weapons appear in the video game Fortnite:
Introduction
Fortnite is a 2017 video game developed by Epic Games which has been released as different software packages featuring different game modes that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine. The game modes include Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative shooter-survival game for up to four players to fight off zombie-like husks and defend objects with fortifications they can build, and Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game where up to 100 players fight in increasingly-smaller spaces to be the last person standing, very similar to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Both game modes were released in 2017 as early access titles; Save the World is available only for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, while Battle Royale has been released for those platforms, Nintendo Switch, and iOS devices with Android support expected in mid-2018.
Players can use a variety of different firearms in Fortnite, each with their own stats, abilities, and advantages. Most of the weapons bear a strong resemblance to real-world firearms, although with some cartoonish and simplistic alterations. Some weapons are sort of "Frankenguns". That is, they bear characteristics of several distinct guns mixed together.
Handguns
Pistol
The weakset and most basic of the handguns, simply called "Pistol", bears resemblance to the M1911 and the Beretta 92 series, although its front and rear sights are largely exaggerated, and the in-game model appears to have no safety on the back of the grip. The slide lock also appears much shorter and farther forward on the gun's body, largely due to the gun's cartoonish nature. It is available in Common, Uncommon, and Rare versions. It uses Light Bullets, and offers weak to moderate damage.
Hand Cannon
The Hand Cannon is perhaps the most powerful handgun, but it also has one of the slowest fire rates and reload speeds. It has very close resemblance to the Desert Eagle. The Hand Cannon can appear as Epic and Legendary versions and uses Heavy Bullets.
