Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Red-Eye Assault Rifle rides the line between an AR and a DMR, with a very slow fire rate but high damage, accuracy, a decent magazine, and a scope. Thus, the Red-Eye is best treated as a long range weapon, kept for mid-long range engagements.
  • The higher than average headshot multiplier on the Red-Eye Assault Rifle makes headshots very rewarding, dealing up to 66 damage a shot.
  • When using the Red-Eye Assault Rifle, it is best to run it with a semi-accurate SMG such as the Twin Mag SMG to deal with close-mid range engagements and for structures, since the Red-Eye struggles against structures.

Counters[]

  • The Red-Eye Assault Rifle does struggle in raw DPS, and can be a bit unforgiving due to the slower fire rate, so scoped weapons with similar or higher DPS values or higher fire rates such as the Deadeye Assault Rifle or Holo Twister Assault Rifle can be beneficial against someone using the Red-Eye Assault Rifle.
