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 Modular Ranger Pistol can substitute for an SMG due to its high damage, decent fire rate, and tight spread.
    • A viable combination of attachments for the Modular Ranger Pistol is the Drum Mag Drum Mag, Laser Laser, and Suppressor Suppressor.
      • The Drum Mag Drum Mag increases its ammo capacity to from 15 to 20, making it better as a close-range SMG replacement. It also barely affects reload speed due to the Modular Ranger Pistol's already fast reload speed, though the Speed Mag Speed Mag is also viable for even faster reload speed.
      • The Laser Laser increases the hipfire accuracy, allowing for more consistent shots at close range.
      • The Suppressor Suppressor increases the accuracy of the weapon while crouching and sliding, again allowing for more consistent shots. It also removes the "blip" from the compass when fired, so enemies wouldn't be able to know where the player is shooting from.

Counters[]

  • The Modular Ranger Pistol, while very solid in close range, will still have less magazine capacity than most Chapter 5 SMGs, even with a Drum Mag Drum Mag. Using a higher fire rate SMG with a Drum Mag Drum Mag, especially the Modular Hyper SMG and Modular Harbinger SMG, which have Drum Mag Drum Mag capacities of 38 and 40 respectively, can overwhelm an opponent wielding a Modular Ranger Pistol.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Modular Ranger Pistol resembles the Heckler and Koch MK 23.[1].
  • Despite not being able to equip a Speedgrip Speedgrip, the Modular Ranger Pistol could still appear as a Close Quarters Ranger Pistol, where it would have no Underbarrel Mod equipped.
  • As of Update v37.00, the Modular Ranger Pistol uses the same reload animation as its Ballistic counterpart in First-Person modes as long as the Default Mag Default Mag is equipped.
  • The Legendary rarity of this weapon, when combined with aSpeed Mag Speed Mag and the Nitro buff, can achieve a very short reload time of 0.96 seconds, making it one of the fastest-reloading magazine-fed guns in the game.
