Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Phasma's Blaster Medallion increases the amount of shots the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle can fire continuously from 25 to 31 and decreases its cooldown time from 1.61s to 1.28s.
  • The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle is most effective in medium ranges, and, as it's in game description suggests, is best used in a similar manner to a Heavy Assault Rifle.
  • Avoid using the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle at long ranges because of the rifle's poor accuracy over great distances.
  • Remember that the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle's shots glow brightly, making it easier for opponents to see you shooting.
  • The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle can be useful for draining an opponent's materials due to its infinite ammo reserve.
  • The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle is ideally paired with a sniper rifle or bow to compensate for its poor ranged accuracy.

Counters[]

  • The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle has a large amount of vertical recoil, so using a weapon with easier recoil at range such as the A280-CFE Blaster Rifle can be beneficial when engaged with an opponent wielding a DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle.
