Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The DC-15 Blaster Rifle is most effective in close-to-medium ranges where a scoped rifle would be impractical.
  • The DC-15 Blaster Rifle is an excellent weapon for the early game due to its infinite ammo reserve.
  • The DC-15 Blaster Rifle can be used as an SMG substitute in a pinch due to its high accuracy while hip-firing, although it's not as good as most SMGs due to its much lower fire rate.
  • Avoid using the DC-15 Blaster Rifle at long ranges because of the rifle's poor accuracy over great distances.
  • Remember that the DC-15 Blaster Rifle's shots glow brightly, making it easier for opponents to see you shooting.
  • The DC-15 Blaster Rifle can be useful for draining an opponent's materials due to its infinite ammo reserve.
  • The DC-15 Blaster Rifle is ideally paired with a sniper rifle or bow to compensate for its poor ranged accuracy.
