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 Scoped Burst SMG can be very deadly at medium-range, especially compared to other SMGs, due to its fast fire rate within bursts, and easy to control vertical kick.
  • The Scoped Burst SMG, like most burst-fire weapons, can be very effective for quickly peeking from cover to fire at an enemy.
  • Because of its serviceable hipfire accuracy and excellent ranged accuracy, the Scoped Burst SMG can be used in 2-weapon loadouts.

Counters[]

  • As a trade-off for its high accuracy and usability, the Scoped Burst SMG, while still serviceable, has a weaker hipfire accuracy than most SMGs. A faster firing, more close-range oriented SMG will be more beneficial at these ranges.
  • While it doesn't suffer as much against structures compared to other burst-fire weapons, the Scoped Burst SMG still isn't the most viable choice for taking out cover. Take advantage of this by placing builds or staying behind as much cover as possible.
