Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Due to the lower damage compared to its Sniper category counterparts, the Enhanced Falcon Eye Sniper is best treated like a DMR, as in not taking one quick shot and switching to an Assault Rifle, but rather trying to hit as many shots as possible for maximum effectiveness.
  • Due to the ability to toggle between using the scope and canting the sights, the Enhanced Falcon Eye Sniper can be somewhat flexible for mid-range fights.

Counters[]

  • Due to its immense bullet drop, it is advised to carry a Mammoth Pistol or Holo Twister Assault Rifle when engaged with an opponent wielding an Enhanced Falcon Eye Sniper, as both of those weapons are hitscan, and can overwhelm the Enhanced Falcon Eye Sniper, which has very sharp bullet drop.
