Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • This weapon is not ideal for long range engagements, as it cannot hit accurately, and has no first shot accuracy, even when crouching and being stationary.
  • It has a slower fire rate and lower magazine size than the Assault Rifle and the Primal Rifle, making this weapon slightly weaker than the others.
  • Use the Makeshift Rifle early-game for melee damage due to the issues mentioned above.

Counters[]

  • Literally any Assault Rifle is better than the Makeshift Rifle. Unless your opponent hits a headshot, as long as you have a different weapon, you will win almost every engagement.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Makeshift Rifle design is based on the Buzzcut from Save the World, but includes updated textures and a different render for its icon.
    • The functionality of these weapons is somewhat similar, as the rifle in Save the World is a slow-firing semi-automatic weapon. However, it has First Shot Accuracy, as it was designed to be a cheaper but less durable alternative to the Hunter-Killer.
