Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

Usage[]

  • The Modular Hyper SMG benefits heavily from the Red Eye Sight Red Eye Sight, Drum Mag Drum Mag, Laser Laser, and Muzzle Brake Muzzle Brake
    • The Red Eye Sight Red Eye Sight gives the weapon 100 percent accuracy while aiming down sights, making the weapon much easier to use at range
    • The Drum Mag Drum Mag increases its magazine capacity from 35 to 44, making the weapon better for spraying enemies at close range
    • The Laser Laser increases the weapon's accuracy while hipfiring, allowing for more consistent shots at close range
    • The Muzzle Brake Muzzle Brake reduces the recoil of the weapon, making it easier to use at range.

Counters[]
