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 Hammer Revolver, much like the normal Revolver, is very powerful when hitting headshots, so aim for the head in most engagements.
  • While the Hammer Revolver may have a higher DPS than the Revolver and still deal the same damage (formerly; now it deals slightly more damage), this comes at the cost of using Heavy Ammo compared to Medium Ammo. This means that burning through the magazine can be punishing as Heavy Ammo isn't as common, and you can only hold 50 reserve Heavy Ammo compared to 500 Medium Ammo. Because of this, you'll want to conserve your ammo as much as possible, and run a weapon that can handle all ranges somewhat viably as a secondary alongside the Hammer Revolver, such as the Thunder Burst SMG or Combat Assault Rifle.

Counters[]

  • The Hammer Revolver has quite a slow reload, so getting the jump on an enemy attempting to reload it can be beneficial in a fight.
  • While the Hammer Revolver is a very accurate, high damage weapon, it may be more beneficial to take a scoped weapon, such as the Vector 7 DMR, over it, as while it may not have as high a DPS, you won't have to take bloom into account, meaning you'll hit more high damage shots.
