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 Combat Pistol's moderate recoil can be countered by adjusting your aim controls downward while firing.
    • Controller players can do this by pulling down on the aim stick.
    • Keyboard and mouse players can do this by dragging their mouse downward.
  • The Combat Pistol functions well as a substitute for an SMG due to its high fire rate and tight accuracy.
  • The Combat Pistol can substitute for an assault rifle if needed, although the Combat Pistol is not a great option for long-range encounters.
  • At long ranges, tap-firing with the Combat Pistol is best to constantly reset its first-shot accuracy.
  • Do not challenge sniper rifles, marksman rifles, or scoped assault rifles at long ranges with a Combat Pistol. Instead, get to a closer range to make effective use of this weapon's high DPS.
  • Headshots are very effective with the Combat Pistol, since it deal up to 62 damage a headshot.
  • The Combat Pistol's low capacity makes it ineffective against structures. Instead, it's best to carry a different weapon to help take out an opponent's cover.

Counters[]

  • A faster firing, larger magazine capacity weapon is beneficial to carry when dealing with an opponent wielding a Combat Pistol.
