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 Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle is very powerful against vehicles, as it deals 120 damage per shot, enabling for accurate and powerful fire at range. If you are accurate enough, or fire at a small enough vehicle, you may even damage the passengers inside.
  • The Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle is useful for attacking builds, or opponents round corners, as the splash damage of its bullets will damage multiple builds, and hurt anyone caught in the shot's blast radius.

Counters[]

  • The Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle has projectile bullets, and combined with a very slow fire rate, is very punishing of poor accuracy, so easier to use scoped rifles can be beneficial against someone wielding it.
