Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Pistol is more deadly the faster you can fire it. If you have good trigger finger, the pistol will have DPS similar to the Assault Rifle.
- Landing headshots is very beneficial with this weapon. At a decent fire-rate and mixing in headshots gives the Pistol a higher DPS than the Assault Rifle.
- Even though the has lower DPS than most SMGs, it can still be beneficial due to better range, higher damage, faster reload speed, better accuracy, and a higher headshot damage multiplier.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- This weapon was the only weapon in Fortnite: OG Season 1 to have any stat issues, having the incorrect damage.
Visuals[]
- The is based on the American Colt M1911 with altered iron sights.
- The real life Colt M1911 has an unmodified magazine size of 7 or 8 rounds, making the 16 round magazine of the Pistol impossible for the size of its magazine.
- The weapon also has an incorrectly modeled trigger, as the real M1911 does not have the standard curved trigger of most weapons, but uses a sliding mechanism to fire the weapon.
- The Pistol uses comically large and stylized iron sights for the pistol, much larger than they would be in real life.
- The Pistol's slide is much more open than a traditional M1911, making it appear like a Beretta-style pistol despite all the M1911 design elements.
- The Pistol shares its model with the Vigilante from Fortnite: Save the World.
