You probably don’t need more than two guns–three at most
Fortnite tends to have a lot of great guns to use no matter the season, and it can be tempting to carry many of them for each situation you might encounter. But in practice, you’ll likely win or lose most gun battles without using all these. In fact, I recommend holding just two of them, thereby saving your other three inventory slots for mobility items, throwables, or heals.
At most, three guns is all anyone is going to need almost always. My suggested loadout, assuming you’re not a sniper aficionado: one AR, one shotgun, at least a full stack of six Shockwave Grenades (if they’re unvaulted), and one or two other peripheral items like Flowtberries or a Grapple Blade. That second gun is key so you can quickly swap to it to finish off enemies instead of reloading, but it’s unlikely a third or fourth gun is going to be the difference maker in a battle with an enemy player or team. Two will do.
