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 Monarch Pistol is almost best treated as a more aggressive Hand Cannon, allowing for less time between shots, while still rewarding accurate shots with high headshot damage.
  • While not very idea, the faster hipfire on the Monarch Pistol can be useful in a situation where an enemy closes the distance between you and them, and turns a long-range fight into a close range fight. The faster hipfire allows you to not have to immediately switch to a spray weapon at close range, and thus put out return fire faster.
  • The Monarch Pistol, since it uses Medium Ammo, isn't well paired with any Assault Rifles, as you will drain ammo fast, especially if you miss shots. Carrying a more close-mid range oriented SMG, such as the Stinger SMG, Combat SMG, or Harbinger SMG, to deal with enemies in closer ranges can be beneficial when paired with the Monarch Pistol.

Counters[]

  • The Monarch Pistol can easily be overwhelmed in close range due to the low DPS (oddly lower than it is when ADS, despite the faster fire rate). Having a fast firing AR or SMG in these ranges, such as the Machine SMG or Warforged Assault Rifle, can be very beneficial.
  • Despite having a very similar playstyle, the Monarch Pistol can be outdamaged by the Hand Cannon at longe-range, especially with the Hand Cannon coming prefixed with a Sniper Scope, allowing for better visibility and accuracy at long range.
  • The Monarch Pistol's scope visual appears more zoomed out and smaller compared to other Scoped weapons, even those that use the Red Eye Sight Weapon Mod. This may make it harder to see your target.
