The Makeshift Revolver is a Hitscan weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire. This spread is decreased whilst crouching.

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 strength of a regular Revolver is that it has First Shot Accuracy and can be used to deal damage at longer ranges. Since the Makeshift Revolver lacks this function, it is ideal to upgrade it to a regular revolver.
  • Although, the Makeshift Revolver has a slightly faster fire rate compared to the Normal Revolver, meaning that you trade in accuracy and get a faster fire rate in return when using this gun.

Counters[]

  • Due to its lack of First Shot Accuracy and poor spread, the Makeshift Revolver will usually lose most engagements.
