Best weapon mods for Assault Rifles in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

Looking for a powerful weapon mod for your Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? We’ve got the best attachments for you to use in the game right here.

With the release of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, players are already using everything they can on the new map to claim Victory Royales. In order to achieve that in a Battle Royale match, players trust their reliable weapons, whether it be to heist a train or acquire a godly Mythic weapon.

The new season carries over the Weapon Mods feature from last season, which enables players to mod their weapons with attachments and customize them to their preferences. However, in order to maximize the performance of your gun, it is critical to utilize the proper attachments.

So to help you get the best out of your Assault Rifles which can be perfect for those medium to long-range fights, we’ve rounded up the top weapon mods for you to use in Fortnite.

Best weapon mods and attachments to use for AR in Fortnite

In the ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, there are two Assault Rifles in the game namely, Nemesis AR and Warforged Assault Rifle. While Nemesis AR is a heavy-hitting assault rifle that mimics the AK, the new Warforged Assault Rifle is an automatic, medium-ranged weapon that fires insanely fast. It excels at medium and close-ranged combat but suffers at longer ranges due to the high recoil.

Here are the weapon mods and attachments recommended for you to use to get the best out of both the guns.

Recommended weapon mod for Nemesis AR

Here are the recommended attachments for the Nemesis AR in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2:

• Optic: Thermal Optic (Gives x2.1 magnification and togglable Thermal Vision)
• Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
• Magazine: Drum Mag (Increase ammo capacity)
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS Recoil and Spread)

Using the recommended combination, the Nemesis AR becomes a perfect mid-range assault rifle as you can easily use the Thermal Optic to target distant opponents with a thermal vision and shoot with minimum recoil, thanks to your under-barrel mod. However, since you’re using the Thermal Optic, your scope glint will be visible to enemies from afar.

Recommended weapon mod for Warforged Assault Rifle

Here are the recommended attachments for the Warforged Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2:

• Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View)
• Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
• Magazine: Speed Mag (Increase reload speed)
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS recoil and spread)

Using the recommended combination, the Warforged Assault Rifle becomes a perfect mid-range assault rifle as you can easily use the quick Holo-13 Optic to target nearby opponents and shoot with minimum recoil, thanks to your under-barrel mod and barrel while inflicting rapid damage on the run.
