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 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 Falcon Eye Sniper can be somewhat flexible for mid-range fights.
  • While it does have slightly worse bullet drop than some of it's Sniper Rifle counterparts, the Falcon Eye Sniper's bullet drop is still quite forgiving, and body shots in particular are very easy to hit, compared to other Snipers. The 3 round magazine and fast fire rate (for a Sniper, that is), are also very forgiving for missed shots.

Counters[]

  • Try to stay behind cover and not peek very much when dealing with a Falcon Eye Sniper in enemy hands: the variable zoom scope creates a very powerful weapon for peeking shots, so staying low and closing the distance to a range in which the Falcon Eye Sniper isn't viable is the best possible counter.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Falcon Eye Sniper appears to be based on the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare,[1] modified to fire in a semi-automatic configuration.
  • The Falcon Eye Sniper is the only Sniper Rifle with a 2.2x headshot multiplier.
  • The internal name for the Falcon Eye Sniper's scope is Toggle Sniper.
  • On release, the Falcon Eye Sniper dealt additional damage against Vehicles and knocked them back. This was an oversight, likely due to developers using the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle as base.
