Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • When using the Spire Rifle, treat it like a hybrid between the Heavy Assault Rifle and the Flapjack Rifle, as it has a lower than average DPS for an Assault Rifle, and higher than average damage per shot, similar to the Heavy Assault Rifle, but has a larger magazine size and high structure damage similar to the Flapjack Rifle.
  • The Spire Rifle is best used in mid-long range engagements, as it has a slow fire rate, but high accuracy, as it's spread resets very quickly, allowing you to hit large amounts of damage relatively easily.
  • The Spire Rifle has very high structure damage and a large magazine capacity, making it a great choice for applying pressure onto enemy fortifications. This can be especially useful when engaging with either player built structures or Port-A-Bunkers.

Counters[]

  • When engaged with an opponent wielding a Spire Rifle, either try to stay in close range and use a weapon such as the Hyperburst Pistol or Surgefire SMG, or stay at long range and use a Deadeye DMR, as at long range the Deadeye DMR will have the benefit of a scope, and at close the Hyperburst Pistol and Surgefire SMG both have a higher fire rate.
