Mega Buster stats by rarity
| Rarity | DPS | Damage | Mid | Long | Fire rate | Mag | Reload | Structure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | 312 | 120 | 120 | 120 | 2.60 | 50 | 1.00 | 40 |
This is a 3-pellet weapon: damage shown is the full cartridge with every pellet connecting, which is how Fortnite caps it. DPS is damage per second on body shots at point-blank range. Mid and Long are the damage the same shot does at range — Fortnite guns fall off with distance. Structure is damage to builds. Reload is in seconds.

Spread is the cone of fire — lower is tighter, and aiming down sights tightens it. Falloff is where damage starts dropping toward the long-range figure; both are in Unreal units. You can carry 102 spare rounds.
Shots to eliminate
| Target | Shots | Time | Within one magazine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 HP | 1 | 0.00s | Yes |
| 100 HP + 50 shield | 2 | 0.38s | Yes |
| Full (100 + 100) | 2 | 0.38s | Yes |
Body shots with the Rare version, every shot connecting. Time runs from the first shot landing to the last, so a one-shot elimination is 0.00s. A full magazine delivers 6000 damage. Headshot figures are left out on purpose: Fortnite's headshot multiplier varies per weapon and isn't in the data, so any number here would be a guess.
