About / Data sources
Where the data comes from
fndb.gg is built from four kinds of sources. Every page states which one it draws on, and nothing on the site is estimated or invented — where a number isn't knowable, the page says so instead.
Epic's public data
Cosmetics, the item shop, Festival tracks, ranked seasons, Power Rankings and server status come from Epic's public feeds and the community mirror fortnite-api.com, refreshed daily just after the shop rotates at 00:00 UTC. Competitive figures on best players are Epic's own numbers — we never adjust them.
The game files
Weapon handling — spread, recoil, damage falloff, spare ammo — exists in no public API. Where we have mined it from the game's own data tables, a weapon page says so: "read from the game files themselves". Weapons added since our last mine carry the api-fortnite.com loot-pool feed's numbers instead, and say that. Sprite spawn chances and drop rates come from the game files via the same feed.
Our own archives
Epic publishes no shop history, so fndb keeps its own: every shop day since 2026-08-05 (91 days and counting) with prices and full offer composition. Appearance dates before that come from fortnite-api.com's per-item shop history, which starts on 2017-10-30; it has dates only, no prices, so every price on fndb is one we recorded ourselves. The same discipline applies to Creative island metrics, which Epic retains for only two days — we snapshot daily and keep everything. Archives only grow; shop history is the visible half.
Our own calculations
Anything fndb computes is labelled as ours and explained where it appears — the FNDB Rarity Score has its own methodology page. Time-to-kill maths on the TTK calculator uses body damage only, because headshot multipliers vary per weapon and aren't published; we don't guess.
Independence and corrections
fndb.gg is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Epic Games. Fortnite and its assets are Epic's. If something on the site is wrong, the fastest fix is the contact route on the about page — data corrections ship with the next daily sync.
