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 a hitscan, but this strategy 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 Medium Bullets. The Revolver has a headshot multiplier of 2.0x.

Strategy Guide
- The Revolver has a low fire rate, so accuracy is essential. Missing a shot with a Revolver can be very unforgiving due to the long time to take a second shot.
- Headshots with any rarity of the Revolver do over 100 damage at close ranges, allowing for instant eliminations in early-game gunfights.
- 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.

Trivia
- The Revolver used
Light Bullets until Season 2.
- The weapon's current appearance and former High-Level appearance is based off the Italian Chiappa Rhino.
- Its old lower rarity appearance appears to be a generic 19th Century Revolver.
- The Revolver used to be available in Sniper Shootout, but was removed from the gamemode in Season 3(?)
- A strategy in this gamemode was to have two Revolvers and switch back and forth between them (much like the infamous "Double Pump") for their rewarding headshots and to avoid their slow rate of fire, which may have been overpowered as the rest of the guns were Snipers.
- During Chapter 2: Season 6, combining a Makeshift Revolver with:
- 2 Mechanical Parts (Common) granted an Uncommon Revolver.
- 4 Mechanical Parts (Uncommon) granted an Rare Revolver.
- 6 Mechanical Parts (Rare) granted an Epic Revolver.
- The Common Revolver was only obtained by being Rebooted.
