Pistol: Revolver. Fast, precise sidearm, with a good punch but small capacity.
— In-Game Description

The Revolver is a Pistol in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in the Pre-Season.

The Revolver has a Mythic variant called Blitz Boss Carti's Revolver.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Revolver is a slow-firing, 6-round pistol with a good headshot multiplier. It has first-shot accuracy and uses medium ammo, so its range values and uses are comparable to an Assault Rifle, minus the fast firing. The Revolver suffers at close ranges due to its slow fire rate and wide hip-fire spread. The weapon can function at long ranges, as it is a hitscan, but this strategy can be difficult due to the lack of a scope.

The Revolver is a hitscan weapon, with First Shot Accuracy enabled.

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 Revolver has a low fire rate, so accuracy is essential. Missing a shot with a Revolver can be very unforgiving due to the long time to take a second shot.
  • Headshots with any rarity of the Revolver do over 100 damage at close ranges, allowing for instant eliminations in early-game gunfights.
  • Revolvers are weak against builds and enemies using high fire-rate weapons. Although the burst damage of a revolver is decent, you can be quickly outpaced by rapid low damage shots from an opponent using almost any other weapon.

Counters[]

  • The Revolver, as mentioned above, is very weak against structures. Building or moving between natural cover during an engagement with an opponent wielding a Revolver can be beneficial.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Revolver's current appearance and former High Tier appearance is modeled after the Italian Chiappa Rhino 50DS.
  • The Revolver used to be available in Sniper Shootout, but was removed from the gamemode in Season 3.
    • A strategy in this gamemode was to have two Revolvers and switch back and forth between them (much like the "Double Pump") for their rewarding headshots and to avoid their slow rate of fire, which may have been overpowered as the rest of the guns were Snipers, which were limited by their Projectile based Bullet type compared to the Revolver's Hitscan Bullet type.
