Best Fortnite Nerf guns - top 5
If you want the very best Fortnite Nerf gun, look no further than the AR-L. Besides offering a picture-perfect recreation of the video game blaster, it's versatile thanks to its 10-dart clip (which is also compatible with other Nerf magazines, allowing you to mix and match) and a standard rail for all your bonus accessories. When combined with a cheerful color-scheme and oversized proportions that capture the franchise's personality, this is the ultimate weapon for Nerf warriors who love Fortnite.
The blaster's motorized insides push it over the edge and into 'awesome' territory, though. These allow you to fire darts a lot faster than usual, making it a force to be reckoned with (if you can keep it well stocked with AA batteries, anyway). Simply hold down the power button to prime the mechanism, pull the trigger, and watch darts fly. It's much easier and more satisfying than pump-operated alternatives.
Plus, those darts are standard Elites. Because these can be bought cheaply en-masse, you can stock up for less and fill other Nerf mags you might already own for a quick changeover.
Although Nerf guns are very cool, they can be a little expensive. That's why the SP-L works so well. Sure, it's not sporting a bargain-bin price. But compared to other Fortnite Nerf guns, it provides the best bang for buck. Namely, you're getting an affordable blaster that isn't just a single-shot novelty.
OK, so it doesn't carry many darts at once - you're limited to three. But the way you prime this thing for the next shot is undeniably awesome. Rather than relying on expensive battery-power, you simply pull back the top and squeeze the trigger like some sort of soft-play gunslinger.
Because it's modelled on the video game's silenced pistol as well, the SP-L has a relatively compact design that makes it easier to cart around during Nerf battles (the barrel is detachable, allowing you to adjust for more confined spaces if and when the need arises). Need a side-arm for your next Nerf battle? This is a great choice.
When you think 'best Fortnite Nerf guns', grenade launchers probably don't spring to mind. The GL demonstrates why you're missing out. Packed with character and just a tiny bit intimidating, it's an excellent choice if your budget can stretch that far.
Armed with chunky Nerf rockets, it's the sort of blaster that sends foes running for cover. It fires surprisingly fast, too - in spite of appearances, you can send ammo hurtling toward your opponents at a steady clip.
It does require some stamina thanks to a pump-action mechanism, but the effort is worthwhile; unlike the single-shot Fortnite rocket launcher, the GL is in this for the long-haul.
Want a blaster with a bit more stopping power? The TS-1 fits the bill nicely. Armed with larger Mega darts, it'll hold off the foe with ease at close quarters. Plus, that allows you to hit things more easily - perfect for younger Nerf warriors, in other words.
Based on Fortnite's Tactical Shotgun, this Nerf version of the weapon might as well have been plucked from the game itself. While the color-scheme is unique, the design is basically an exact replica.
Want to intimidate your foes on the battlefield? Just pick up this delightful little blaster. Seriously, how can you not send everyone running for cover when you bring out a damn Nerf rocket launcher?
Because it's based on an in-game Fortnite weapon, the RL is suitably quirky - a shark face at the front is combined with a cheeky XOXO hugs 'n kisses motif along the barrel. It's silly and fun, and we're here for it.
Of course, this particular blaster doesn't use normal darts. Don't be ridiculous - it needs something with a bit more pizazz. Instead, the RL utilises Nerf's enormous foam rockets.
Nerf dart deals
If you're planning on getting one - or many - of the best Fortnite Nerf guns, it's a good idea to scope out some extra ammo as well. Most Nerf blasters only come with a few darts (enough to fill it, generally speaking), so getting some spares will keep you in the fight for longer. Plus, having bonus ones will come in handy if any of the originals go missing.
That's why we've rounded up a few deals that'll keep your Fortnite Nerf guns flush with darts for less. Just remember to check which ammo you're buying - most Fortnite blasters use Nerf Elite darts, but the GL and RL call upon Nerf rockets instead.
