About this converter
Fortnite Chapter 5 base body damage runs 15 to 94 per trigger pull at Rare. Hyper SMG opens at 15, Harbinger at 19, Combat AR at 22, Hades Mythic SMG at 23, Striker AR at 25, Thunder Burst at 26 per bullet, Warforged at 27, Ares Mythic at 31, Nemesis at 32, Montague Mythic at 37, Enforcer at 39, Gatekeeper at 83 and Hammer Pump at 94. That makes one Hammer Pump equal over six Hyper SMG bullets before fire rate. Shotgun totals need every pellet to connect at close range, while rifle rows are single bullet hits.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row, for example Nemesis AR and Striker AR. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try 1 Hammer Pump against Hyper SMGs.
Rarity lifts damage, so Epic and Legendary prints hit harder than these Rare rows. Mythic boss drops here use their fixed Mythic prints. Epic patch notes nerfed Gatekeeper from 84 to 83, and that current 83 is rowed. Splash and headshot multipliers sit out to keep base body hits clean.
