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 Veiled Precision SMG is very easy to control, and combined with its moderate damage, and high fire rate, make this weapon very viable in a 2-weapon loadout.
  • The Veiled Precision SMG supports Canted Sight Toggle, allowing you to aim the weapon both in first-person and in third person like an unscoped weapon. Using the red-dot sight at range and canting the sight at close can be very beneficial.
  • The Veiled Precision SMG is unique in that it is Hitscan until 100 meters, and bullet drop off happens after 100 meters. When using the weapon at these ranges, careful shots can be rewarding.

Counters[]

  • Despite its high fire rate and solid damage, the Veiled Precision SMG only has a magazine capacity of 28, meaning it runs through ammo very quickly. As a result, it is generally unsuitable for destroying cover or builds. Take advantage of this by placing builds or taking cover behind structures with high health when engaging an opponent wielding a Veiled Precision SMG.
  • The hipfire accuracy on the Veiled Precision SMG is somewhat lackluster, making it not the best choice at close range, unless aiming down sights and canted. Take advantage of this by using a more hipfire accurate SMG, such as the Surgefire SMG.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Veiled Precision SMG is modeled after the PSA X5.7.
  • The Veiled Precision SMG re-uses the Red Eye Sight Red Eye Sight, Suppressor Suppressor and a Default Mag Default Mag from Modular weapons and shows their respective icons in a Mod Bench.
    • This, alongside the fact that it has a custom set of Iron Sights Iron Sights, could support a theory that it, alongside other weapons released in Chapter 6: Season 1, were originally meant to be compatible with other Weapon Mods.
  • Ever since Update v39.00, the Veiled Precision SMG, along with its Mythic and Exotic variants, will use its Ballistic counterpart's animations in First Person experiences.
    • This was done so that the weapon could be reloaded whilst aiming down sights, like the Deadeye Assault Rifle and Holo Rush SMG.
    • The non-Ballistic variants will appear slightly closer to the camera and have a faster reload animation depending on rarity.
