Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Almost all tips that apply for the Drum Gun also apply to the Modular Drum Gun.
- Despite it being very similar to the original Drum Gun, the Modular Drum Gun is arguably better, as the original version lacks an Epic and Legendary variant, and not only does the Modular Drum Gun have weapon mod support, but also has a slightly higher fire rate, increasing its DPS overall.
- Keep in mind that unlike its original version, the Modular Drum Gun is a Projectile weapon, while the original Drum Gun is a Hitscan weapon.
- A viable weapon mod combo for the Modular Drum Gun is the
Red Eye Sight,
Vertical Foregrip, and
Muzzle Brake.
- The
Red Eye Sight is the lowest zoom scope available. Using the
Thermal Optic will zoom in too much, making it harder to control the recoil. - The
Vertical Foregrip and
Muzzle Brake will both help reduce the recoil of the weapon, making it easier to control at medium and long range.
- The
Laser is also a good choice to help mitigate the horizontal recoil and increase the accuracy for close range.
- The
- The
Counters[]
- Much like the original Drum Gun, the Modular Drum Gun has a lot of horizontal recoil, meaning that if you are using a
Thermal Optic, this weapon is very hard to use at mid-range. And even with the
Red Eye Sight, it is still a little difficult to use at those ranges. Keeping yourself distanced from an opponent using a Modular Drum Gun can render it almost useless. - Unless running a Default Mag or
Speed Mag, the Modular Drum Gun has a slow reload time, so catching an opponent off guard while they attempt to reload can be very beneficial.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- Modular Drum Gun resembles the M1 Thompson Submachine Gun.[1]
- Despite this, the model itself still has aspects of the M1928 Thompson merged with the M1 Thompson such as the rear iron sight, finned barrel, and flash compensator, all of which are either reworked or removed entirely on the real life M1 Model Thompson.
- The Modular Drum Gun can deal damage to targets from 395 meters, tied with the Modular Thunder Burst SMG.
- The icon for the Modular Drum Gun incorrectly shows it with a second pair of Iron Sights.
- With Update v40.00, the Modular Drum Gun shares the Fortnite OG Drum Gun's fire rate, Midas', Jules' and Shadow Midas' Drum Guns' damage in its Legendary rarity, and the reload speed slightly higher of the Uncommon Drum Gun with the
Drum Mag attached.
