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 Morphite Submachine Gun is one of the highest DPS SMGs in the game, sharing a DPS with the Combat SMG. This, combined with the easy recoil and very nice hipfire spread, make the Morphite Submachine Gun very good for close range pressure, especially combined with a high power Shotgun such as the Morphite Pump Shotgun.
  • Much like the rest of the Morphite weapons, the Morphite Submachine Gun heavily rewards aggression due to the evolving mechanic. With the close-range oriented playstyle that the Morphite Submachine Gun already leans towards, this makes it very rewarding and effective in close range fights.
  • The Morphite Submachine Gun comes with a larger than average magazine size for an SMG, 36 rounds, meaning you can effectively pressure enemies and structures for longer than average for an SMG.

Counters[]

  • The Morphite Submachine Gun has a pretty bad mid-range spread. Using a weapon at these ranges with better accuracy such as the Twin Mag SMG or Morphite Assault Rifle can be beneficial against enemies wielding the Morphite Submachine Gun.
