Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • If you are attacking a target at close range, it is ideal to hipfire the weapon, as the faster DPS and fire speed will aid you in eliminating your target faster. The same is true for attacking enemy structures.

Counters[]

  • When engaged with an opponent wielding a Six Shooter, try to keep within mid-long range, as this will force them to ADS to accurately hit their shots, leaving them vulnerable for faster firing weapons.
