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 Vector 7 DMR is very rewarding of headshots, and in use, is very similar to the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle, being a much slower, but much harder hitting DMR that straddles the line between DMR and Sniper.
  • Have careful aim when using the Vector 7 DMR, as not only is it slow to fire, but it uses Heavy Ammo, making it easy to run through your reserve ammo if your not careful.

Counters[]

  • The Vector 7 DMR, as mentioned, uses Heavy Ammo, making keeping it's ammo reserve topped up a bit more of a challenge. Using weapons like the Deadeye DMR, which play a similar role but use Medium Ammo, an easier to find commodity, can be beneficial.
  • At mid-range, the Vector 7 DMR can suffer due to it's low DPS. Because of this, running a weapon that is more flexible like an Nemesis AR can be beneficial against an opponent wielding the Vector 7 DMR at that range.
