Revolver

The Revolver is a Pistol in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in the Pre-Season.

Functionality
The Revolver is a slow firing, 6 round pistol, with a good headshot multiplier. It has first shot accuracy, and uses medium ammo, so its range values and uses are comparable to an Assault Rifle, minus the fast firing. The revolver suffers at close ranges due to its slow fire rate and wide hip-fire spread. The weapon can function at long ranges, as it is hitscan, but it can be difficult due to the lack of a scope.

Stats
Revolvers range from dealing 54 Damage per shot to 66 Damage per shot (81-99 damage per second). All Revolvers use. The Revolver has a headshot multiplier of 2.0x.

The Revolver is a hitscan weapon, with First Shot Accuracy enabled.

Strategy Guide

 * The Revolver has a low firerate, and so accuracy is important when using it. Missing a shot with a Revolver can be very unforgiving due to the long time to take a second shot.
 * Head-shots with any rarity of the Revolver do over 100 damage at close ranges, allowing for instant eliminations early game.
 * Revolvers are weak against builds, and enemies using high fire-rate weapons. Although the burst damage of a revolver is decent, you can be quickly outpaced by rapid low damage shots from an opponent using almost any other weapon.
