Best Fortnite Bows

Fortnite has come a long way from its initial launch and features some of the craziest crossovers and powers, all mashed into one place. The same goes for the weapons, where you can choose between various guns, unorthodox melee weapons, and anime abilities like the Kamehameha. Today we'll take a look at the best Fortnite bows.

The bow is an unorthodox Fortnite weapon, and many players might find it out of place. You can argue that it gives you a competitive disadvantage due to how slow and precise you need to be. However, that makes getting kills with bows in Fortnite equally satisfying. So today, let's go over the best bows in Fortnite.

What are the best Bows in Fortnite?

TNTina’s Kaboom Bow

First of all, we have TNTina's Kaboom bow, a Mythic variant of the regular Boom Bow. This Mythic variant deals less damage but covers a much wider AoE, allowing you to destroy structures and worry less about precision.

Primal Stink Bow

Next up, we have the Primal Stink Bow, which also has a gimmick similar to the Boom Bow, as even when you miss your shots, the toxic mist clouds will damage enemies through their shields. Besides that gimmick, the damage and rate of fire on the Primal Stink Bow are also excellent.

Primal Flame Bow

Another variant of the Primal Bow, the Primal Flame Bow, replaces the stink effect with a damage-over-time burning effect that can slowly but surely burn through enemy shields and HP. Furthermore, it's also great for burning down wooden structures.

Mechanical Explosive Bow

The mechanical explosive bow finds a point of balance between the explosive power of the boom bows and the reliability and speed of the mechanical bows. You can use it to swiftly launch barrages of explosive shots with precision to cripple your opponent's defences.

Mechanical Shockwave Bow

Last up, we have what is widely considered the best bow in Fortnite, the Mechanical Shockwave Bow. The Mechanical Shockwave Bow is fast, reliable, and very powerful. If you're good at aiming, you can take down enemies with a single well-placed shot. The electrical shockwave effect is also great for surprise attacks, or you can use it to launch yourself in the air for some insane mobility.

That concludes our list of the best bows in Fortnite. For even more weapon tier lists, check the best shotguns as well as the best SMGs.
