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 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.

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.
