With Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, many weapons in the game have been vaulted and new ones have been added. As such, players are forced to adapt their weapons and playstyles to these weapons. Here we’ll break down all the loadouts that you can use in Fortnite Chapter 5 so you have a choice according to your playstyle, whether you’re an aggressive player who runs straight to every gunfight or one who prefers to play it safe.
Best Loadouts & Weapons for Aggressive Players
Oscar’s Frenzy Auto Shotgun Loadout
This loadout is especially effective in Fortnite Chapter 5 Zero Build mode. Your enemies will be dead before they even know what hit them, and once you get used to this loadout, you’ll have a lot of fun. However, it may not be possible to put this loadout together in every game. This is because you have to defeat the Oscar boss in the Lavish Lair to get Oscar’s Frenzy Auto Shotgun.
In addition to the Oscar’s Frenzy Auto Shotgun, you should get the Striker AR, Eagle Eye Reaper Sniper Rifle, or Sharpshooter Reaper Sniper Rifle. Since both Sniper Rifles deal the same damage, you can choose according to the rarity you find.
As a Utility, you can choose Shockwave Grenade and Medkit next to it. Oscar’s Medallion will already fill your armor and you can also fill your health with Medkit. Shockwave Grenade allows you to catch and kill your enemies unexpectedly and quickly.

Nisha’s Striker AR Loadout
To get Nisha’s Striker AR, you need to kill Nisha in Fencing Fields. This weapon has Red Eye Sight and a silencer, and it fires extremely fast. So if you are a player who prefers close combat, this is the weapon for you.
Alongside this weapon, pick up a Sniper Rifle to kill enemies in the distance. And get a Frenzy Auto Shotgun just to be safe. Don’t forget the Shockwave Grenade to catch players quickly. However, if you don’t like to rush players directly, you can also use the Grapple Blade.

Best Loadouts & Weapons for Safe Players
Montague’s Enforcer AR Loadout
We chose to put Montague’s Enforcer AR in this build because it is an extremely powerful weapon and has P2X Optic. It fires slower than many other Assault Rifles, but its bullets do serious damage. The P2X Optic allows you to easily hunt down enemies without engaging them in close combat.
You can play with your Sniper Rifle and Enforcer AR from far away. And you can use Grapple Blade to get to high ground and escape from enemies at any time. To get Montague’s Enforcer AR you need to kill Montague that located in Grand Glacier.

Ballistic Shield Loadout
If you are a player who likes to play safe, Ballistic Shield might be the item for you. Especially if you prefer to play against Storm and hide, you should add Ballistic Shield to your loadout. Even if an enemy comes to kill you inside the building you are hiding in, the chances are extremely low when you are holding the Ballistic Shield.
You can also add Shield Breaker EMP to this build, dealing 70 damage to your enemies’ Armor before engaging them, giving you an unfair advantage. Immediately after breaking Armor with Shield Breaker, switch to Ballistic Shield and finish your enemy.

All right everyone, that wraps up the best weapons you should use and the best loadouts you can build in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.
