Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Ranger Pistol is a serviceable sidearm in early rounds or as a backup option for weapons that may struggle in close range combat.
  • In pistol rounds, the Ranger Pistol is the only weapon that a player can use if they choose to buy 1 tick of Instant Shield (unless they pick up a different sidearm from an eliminated player or a teammate offers them one). This increases survivability at the cost of potential firepower.
  • It is advised to aim for the head with the Ranger Pistol, as its body shot time to kill is noticeably longer than most other weapons.
