Most of the Fortnite players that had quit the game due to the dominance of expert builders have returned thanks to the “Zero Build” mode. The ability to construct has been snatched to make the game dependent purely on the weapons and items drop throughout the map. So now to have more chances of a victory royale, you need to have a good loadout and each weapon and item should have a purpose to be placed into your loadout. The combination of all these elements should make your loadout more powerful and effective in combat.

This loadout is still one of our favourites this season, so keep reading to learn the best strategies for dominating it. However, since the new update has gone live, we’ve crafted a brand-new updated Loadout as well. Be sure to check that out after this!
Why it’s the best in No build?
This loadout is also known as the “forbidden loadout” in this season that annoys the enemy players so much and we’ll explain why, along with how to use it strategically for maximum impact.
War Machine's Arsenal
Information
- DPS: 128
- Reload Time: 0.1s
- Magazine size: 30
- Rockets: 8
This mythic weapon, introduced in season 4, is one of the best weapon to keep in your loadout. It shoots bullets from one hand and infinite missiles from the other, with an auto- reload feature. It’s a bit hard to find now but a must to keep in both build and zero build mode.
Captain America's Shield
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- DPS: 37.5
- Damage: 50
- Structure Damage: 100
It’s an epic utility item which has two main uses in the game. It can be used to block incoming attacks or be thrown to deal up to 50 damage to enemies and up to 100 damage to structure. Cap’s shield should be used in medium to close range. Never use it in the long range, it’s a big mistake.
War Machine's Auto Turret
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- DPS: 27.5
- Damage: 5
- Structure Damage: 10
It automatically detects enemies nearby and gives a minimum of 20 damage every 3 seconds and is very good to have to give that extra damage to your opponent while using it with the combination of other weapons.
FlowBerry Fizz
Information
- Item Grade: Rare
- Shield Heals: 100%
- Benefit: Low Grav (10s)
It’s a great healing item that restores both your and your teammates’ shields. It takes around 100 seconds to fully replenish the shield plus it also gives you a “Low Gravity” effect for 10 seconds.
War Machine's Hover Jet
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- Fuel: 100
- Max Stack: 1
The jet pack is a must in this season as it’s the primary means of movement. You can dodge, chase or reposition using it. When hovering the sprint button will give you a speed boost but it will also increase fuel consumption.
The Best Strategy to Play with This Loadout
Follow and practice these steps to master this loadout:
Step # 1 : Use War Machine’s Arsenal for Mid to Close-Range Combat
First of all, use the “War Machine’s Arsenal” to give the opponent damage and fear as it is extremely powerful with the combination of the jet pack to shoot the enemies from above and when it’s auto-reloading you can maneuver around to avoid the attacks from the enemies. However, it’s important to note that the War Machine doesn’t have a great long-range capability, so you have to fight with this at medium to close range.
Step # 2 : Switch to Cap’s Shield When Under Close-Range Fire
If your jet pack is out of fuel and the enemy gets too close especially if they’re using a powerful close-range weapons like shotguns or dual SMGs, then switch to Cap’s shield immediately. Use it to block the incoming bullets and in between of their shots, throw the shield to give a high damage, while also dodging away with the jet pack when you no longer have the shield to block.
Step # 3 : Let the War Machine’s Auto Turret Apply Extra Pressure
While you are blocking the bullets with the cap’s shield, your “war machine’s auto turret” will be giving damage as well which is really annoying for your opponents and will force them to dodge the turret’s fire, making it harder for them to aim at you accurately.
Step # 4 : Finish Them Off with Cap’s Shield or War Machine’s Arsenal
Finish your opponent with Cap’s Shield, or if your jet pack fuel is recharged, fly around and finish them off with the War Machine’s bullets and missiles.
Step # 5 : Heal Up with FlowBerry Fizz
Use the flowberry fizz juice after the battle on yourself and your friends to restore the shield.
