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 Morphite Hand Cannon is strange in that it is both more punishing of missed shots than its base counterpart due to its smaller magazine, but also more forgiving due to its slightly faster fire rate and higher headshot damage. Take this into account and plan your shots accordingly.
  • The Morphite Hand Cannon is highly rewarding of aggression due to the evolving mechanic, and since it evolves with more damage, hitting headshots consistently is highly recommended.

Counters[]

  • The Morphite Hand Cannon is highly outgunned in a close range fight, so using a more suitable weapon like an SMG in those ranges is beneficial.
