Primal SMG

The Primal SMG is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 6.

Functionality
The Primal SMG functions very similarly to the Submachine Gun, in that it fires a fast stream of inaccurate bullets. As such, it is ideal for close quarters engagements, and suffers at longer ranges.

Stats
Primal SMGs range from dealing 52 to 61 Damage per shot (65 to 68.75 Damage per second). All Primal SMGs use. The Primal SMG has a headshot multiplier of 2x.

Obtained
From when the item was last available in Chapter 2: Season 6: The Primal SMG cannot be upgraded. However, Makeshift Submachine Guns will upgrade into Primal SMGs for 2/4/6 Animal Bones depending on rarity.

Strategy Guide

 * The Primal SMG is good when swapped after a Shotgun, more specifically a Pump Shotgun. This is because Shotguns have a cooldown period when switching between them, so if you are out of ammo, an SMG works in close quarters and does not trigger the cooldown.
