Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is here and we have a new amazing map, weapons, masks, boons, skins, a fresh battle pass, and more. The weapons in this season are “hit-scan”, meaning that when we shoot, there will be no bullet drop and travel time — shots will hit their target instantly. This chapter revolves around Demon Hunters and features a theme inspired by Japanese culture. The new season feels reminiscent of Chapter 4, with a similar map vibe, matching color palettes, and weapons that appear to be more polished and refined versions of those from Chapter 4, Season 2. After playing the new chapter for a few days, we have curated the best weapon loadout for this current season.

Why We Chose This Loadout for Chapter 6?
Holo Twister Assault Rifle
Information
- DPS: 155 - 188
- Reload Time: 2.81s
- Magazine size: 25
- Damage: 28 - 34
The Holo Twister Assault Rifle is one of the best fully-automatic, fast-firing ARs introduced in this chapter. It comes equipped with a scope by default, making it fit for different combat scenarios. With good damage, an excellent fire rate, minimal recoil, and solid hip-fire accuracy, this weapon checks all the boxes for a reliable assault rifle.
Oni Shotgun
Information
- DPS: 96.2 - 118.7
- Damage: 77 - 95
- Reload Time: 2.4s - 1.9s
- Magazine Size: 2
The Oni Shotgun has very good damage, ranging from 77 to 95 depending on its rarity, with an effective range of up to 50 meters. It fires a spread of 11 pellets, whether aiming down sights or hip-firing, making it a powerful choice for close to mid-range combat.
Typhoon Blade
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- Damage: 30 - 90
- Benefit: Mobility
The Typhoon Blade is one of the standout items in Chapter 6, which can be used both for mobility and close-range powerful attacks. It has a total of five abilities: three for attack, and two for movement. The attack abilities include Slash, Slam, and Cyclone Slash, dealing 30, 70, and 90 damage respectively. For mobility, the Wind Leap and Air Dash abilities not only enhance movement but also negate fall damage when used effectively.
Fire Oni Mask
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- Damage: 100
- Magazine Size: 2
- Reload Time: 3.5s
The Fire Oni Mask is an epic item in the current chapter that deals 100 damage by launching explosive masks. These masks automatically target and damage nearby enemies, making them a powerful item for mid-range engagements.
Water Sprite
Information
- Type: AI
- Use: Healing item
- Added: 1/12/24
Sprites are a new type of AI introduced in the game. When picked up, they become an item and replace the player’s back-bling. Each player can carry only one sprite at a time. Different types of sprites offer unique benefits: the Air Sprite boosts you into the sky, while the Water Sprite regenerates health first and then armor, making it a valuable healing companion during battles.
How to play effectively with this Loadout?
Follow and practice these steps to master this loadout:
Step # 1 : Start Your Journey by Finding Typhoon Blade
First of all, you need to land in a place where you will find the “Typhoon Blade” stands. There are many spots on the map where you can find these blades, two of which are “Shoguns Solitude” and “Lost Lake”.
Step # 2 : Loot Elemental Chests in Shogun’s Solitude
In Shogun’s Solitude, you’ll come across many elemental chests. These may reward you with rare versions of your loadout weapons and one of the essential items like the Fire Oni Mask or a Boon.
Step # 3 : Dominate With The Holo Twister AR
For medium to long-range fights, equip the Holo Twister Assault Rifle, the best assault rifle this season. Its accuracy and damage output make it a reliable choice for eliminating enemies at a distance.
Step # 4 : Fire Oni Mask for Pre-Engagement Damage
Equip the Fire Oni Mask if you find an enemy and you aren’t yet engaged in fast-paced combat. Deal the fire damage which will remove 100 health in one hit, and then switch the weapon to either an assault rifle or shotgun depending on the distance, to finish them off.
Step # 5 : Oni Shotgun for Close and Mid-Range Combat
The Oni Shotgun is perfect for close-range combat, dealing high damage even at mid-range. The downside of this shotgun is that the magazine contains only 2 bullets. However, if you find a Fire Boon, it will significantly improve reload speed, making the shotgun even more effective.
Step # 6 : Mobility and Combat with the Typhoon Blade
You can use the “Typhoon blade” for mobility as you can run and dash faster with it (Note that there is a limit on that). Also, if the enemy is too close, you can just finish him off with a few slashes from the blade.
Step # 7 : Heal with the Water Sprite
The healing item that we chose this time is very unusual but very effective of all. We have some new creatures in this chapter called sprites and the water sprite that we have in our loadout restores health and shields to nearby players. This unique addition offers excellent support during intense fights.
This loadout is designed to adapt to the unique challenges and mechanics of Chapter 6, Season 1, blending powerful weaponry, mobility, and healing. Whether you’re engaging in battles, or exploring different areas on the new map, this setup ensures you’re ready for any encounter. Try out this balanced combination, master its strategy, and dominate the Fortnite this season. We’ve also covered loadouts from previous chapters and seasons, so feel free to check those out too!
