Really bad luck. He is talking about "suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" as opposed to taking "arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them." Slings and arrows are weapons: he feels attacked by "outrageous fortune". Because of the parallel structure of the sentence, we know that the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune is the same thing as a sea of troubles. Fortune is luck, but this luck is an outrage, it is outrageous. He thinks he life is just a bunch of really bad luck.

How is the word fortune characterized in Hamlet?

Fortune is characterized as a malicious or capricious prostitute. In Hamlet's discussion with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Guildenstern starts with the metaphor "On Fortune's cap we are not the very button.", and so they explore just what part of Fortune they might be worn on and conclude that their fortunes are middling so they are worn in her middle, whereupon Hamlet says "In the secret parts of Fortune? True, she is a strumpet." This might be thought to be a throwaway joke except that the First Player's speech about Hecuba includes the line, "Out, out, thou strumpet Fortune." In his famous soliloquy Hamlet talks about "the slings and arrows of outrageous Fortune", suggesting that Fortune is malicious. His line to Horatio, that he is "a man that Fortune's buffets and rewards have ta'en with equal thanks" suggests a more equanimical view of Fortune. He goes on to say "Blest are those whose blood and judgment are so well commingled that they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger to sound what stop she please." This echoes Romeo's line "O I am Fortune's fool!"
