Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Much like most other sniper rifles, players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. Each tick mark roughly equates to 50m.
  • Prioritizing headshots is advised, although not necessary with this sniper due to it's low headshot damage, with no rarity being able to one shot a player with full health and shield.
    • Stay moving or remain well hidden if you are not ready to fire back.
  • The Vengeful Sniper Rifle has a significantly faster and less gravity affected projectile than other weapons of it's class, such as the Falcon Eye Sniper or Hunting Rifle, making it a lot more effective at longer ranges.
  • Bullet drop distances:
    • 40m or less - Center
    • 50m - 1st line
    • 75m - 1.5 lines
    • 100m - 2nd line
    • 125m - 2.5 lines
    • 150m - 3rd line
    • 175m - 3.5 lines
    • 200m - 4th line
    • 225m - 4.5 lines
    • 250m - 5th line
    • 275m - 5.5 lines
    • 300m - 6th line
    • 325m - 6.5 lines
    • 350m - 7th line
    • 375m - 7.5 lines
    • 400m - 8th line
    • 425m - 8.5 lines
    • 450m - 9th line
  • The position of aim when opponent is moving. It is the same no matter what distance the opponent is away from you:
    • Crouching - 1st line
    • Running - 3rd line
    • Sprinting - 5th line
    • Gliding - 7th line
  • Due to the lower than average headshot damage, the Vengeful Sniper Rifle is best used to start a mid-long range fight by hitting a high damage shot, then switching to a more mid-range oriented weapon such as the Deadeye Assault Rifle or the Enforcer AR to finish an opponent.

Counters[]

  • Carrying mobility items such as a Wingsuit or Shockwave Grenades can be beneficial, as the high bullet drop and slow fire rate can make hitting shots difficult for an opponent wielding a Vengeful Sniper Rifle.
