Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Jules' Drum Gun is essentially an SMG in all but name, so it should be used accordingly.
  • Pairing Jules' Drum Gun with a high-damage, slow-firing shotgun, such as a Pump Shotgun, is an excellent combo. Fire your shotgun shot, then quickly switch to Jules' Drum Gun to finish the opponent off.
  • The high DPS of Jules' Drum Gun paired with its high capacity makes it a great choice for destroying opponents' build pieces at close range.
    • If the opponent is hiding behind a wall, you can destroy it with Jules' Drum Gun and replace it with your own wall, then edit the wall to inflict high enough damage from a shotgun shot or spray at the opponent further with Jules' Drum Gun.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Jules’ Drum Gun, Midas' Drum Gun, and Shadow Midas' Drum Gun have identical statistics and function.
  • Jules' Drum Gun has Newton's equation on second law of motion (f=ma), etched into the back right of the model.
  • Midas' Drum Gun and Jules’ Drum Gun have a history of bugs involving each other. These include Incorrect Models, Elimination Feeds, and Names. These likely stem from the fact that Midas’ Drum Gun was converted into Jules’ in the files for Chapter 2: Season 3, requiring it to be fully remade for later appearances.
