Fortnite Battle Royale - Pistol and Suppressed Pistol Tips

If we talk about the simple pistol and the suppressed pistol in Fortnite then unlike other FPS shooter games, these small weapons are very useful. Now you may think that pistol is not an effective weapon, and you are right but only because you don’t know how to use it. You cannot just barge in and start shooting at a person carrying scar with your pistol. You need a perfect moment, situation and especially aim. Anyways, I will be talking about the pistol and the suppressed pistol in this guide. I will tell you some tips for using these weapons, so you get the best out of these. Now my first suggestion is of course to use rifles and shotguns, but there are sometimes when we only have pistols left, you will then need to use these small weapons correctly. So without further ado, let’s see some pistol and suppressed pistol tips:

Quickness:
The standard pistol has a very decent fire rate and is even better than suppressed SMG when it comes to the rate of fire. So if you are in a situation where you have a suppressed SMG and a regular pistol, use the pistol. Also, just because of its fire rate, you are going to have a good chance of winning in a pistol fight if other person has pistols like hand cannon or revolver. Just make sure to dodge their shots, or you will die first for sure.

3 Shots to Kill:
When you are using a pistol, try to aim for chest and head and nowhere else. That is because it takes only two shots to the head and one to the chest to kill a player. That is pretty awesome considering the size of the weapon. But the thing is that you don’t usually use pistol so your aim will not be accurate. Therefore, make sure to play as much with a pistol as you can to get good with it.

Good for End Game:
A Suppressed pistol is perfect for end games. That’s because you need to reveal yourself as less as you can, and this can only be done if you make less noise. And with the suppressed pistol, you will be doing damage to your opponent without revealing your locations. You can do a lot of damage to him as it has a quick fire rate and decent damage.

Maintain a distance:
While suppressed pistol makes less noise, it is not completely silent. It will make some noise while firing something like “PHEW.” And this noise can alert a player if he is too close. So if you are planning on killing the enemy with stealth, try to maintain a distance and aim for the head. This gun does a great deal of damage to the head.

This is it; these are some of the tips that are going to help you in your stealth combat and pistol fight. Make sure to practice with the pistols before you start using them in real action.
