— In-Game Description

The Killswitch Revolvers are a Pistol in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 6: Season 3.

Killswitch Revolvers have a Mythic version called Killswitch's Revolvers.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Killswitch Revolvers are dual wielded, burst fired revolvers with a high damage output and a quick reload. Players can perform a Dodge by pressing Jump key while in midair, which consumes some energy.

Killswitch Revolvers have an ability called "Hangtime" that is activated by pressing the Aim Down Sights button midair. The ability allows the player to drastically slow themselves midair while also increasing both reload speed and accuracy. Once the effect time is over, the player drops back to the ground without taking fall damage. Hangtime can be active for a maximum of 4 seconds and will instantly replenish itself once the player touches the ground.

Killswitch Revolvers is a Hitscan weapon with First Shot Accuracy enabled.

Damage falloff:

  • Damage falloff begins at 30 meters (6 tiles).
  • Damage goes down to 85% of its maximum at 70 meters (14 tiles).
  • Damage reaches its minimum value of 78% of its maximum at 115 meters (23 tiles).

Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • A great combination for the Killswitch Revolvers is to pair them with the Bass Boost item, as you can double jump into the air with the Bass Boost to get high ground on your opponent, then aim with the Killswitch Revolvers and fire at your opponent in Hang Time.
  • Try not to use the Killswitch Revolvers when you're not in the air, as they suffer from a slow DPS.
  • The Air Dodge with the Killswitch Revolvers can be very good for close quarters engagements, especially in situations where you're behind cover and an enemy is waiting for you to peek a corner.

Counters[]

  • The Killswitch Revolvers Hang Time effect can make it's wielder very vulnerable, as it only slows down time for them, not other players, so keeping in close range with a fast firing weapon and shooting an enemy using the Killswitch Revolvers can be beneficial.
