Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Semi-Auto Pistol is more deadly the faster you can fire it. If you have good trigger finger, the pistol will have DPS similar to the Assault Rifle.
- The Fortnite OG version of the Semi-Auto Pistol is automatic, despite it's name. It was likely named Semi-Auto Pistol by mistake, as the original version of the Pistol was converted into the Semi-Auto Pistol
- Landing headshots is very beneficial with this weapon. At a decent fire-rate and mixing in headshots gives the Semi-Auto Pistol a higher DPS than the Assault Rifle.
- The Epic and Legendary Semi-Auto Pistol can be used as an assault rifle. As it has very good accuracy and almost the same DPS as the Assault Rifle, it is useful at mid to long range, but also useable in close range scenarios.
- Even though the Semi-Auto Pistol has lower DPS than most SMGs, it can still be beneficial due to better range, higher damage, faster reload speed, better accuracy, and a higher headshot damage multiplier.
Counters[]
- The Semi-Auto Pistol shares the same statistics, other than its fire mode, with the Pistol, making it somewhat redundant, unless you plan on using it as an AR replacement.
Weapon ID[]
The Semi-Auto Pistol is referred to as Pistol Semi Auto in the files.
The NPC version is referred to as Pistol Semi Auto Clyde HM in the files.
- Uncommon: WID_Pistol_SemiAuto_Clyde_HM_UC_Ore_T03

Trivia[]
- Prior to Chapter 2: Season 6, the Pistol held the record alongside the Assault Rifle for the only weapon in Battle Royale to never be fully vaulted. This was broken however, with the full vaulting of the weapon with the launch of Chapter 2: Season 6.
- Picking up a Common Pistol in Chapter 2: Season 1 grants the Legacy Achievement Desperate Times.
- Despite being called Semi-Auto in the name and description, the version of the Semi-Auto pistol used in Fortnite: OG is fully automatic.
- This weapon was the only weapon in Fortnite: OG Season 1 to have any stat issues, having the incorrect damage.
Visuals[]
- The Common, Uncommon, and Rare Pistol is based on the American Colt M1911 with altered iron sights.
- The real life Colt M1911 has an unmodified magazine size of 7 or 8 rounds, making the 16 round magazine of the Pistol impossible for the size of its magazine.
- The weapon also has an incorrectly modeled trigger, as the real M1911 does not have the standard curved trigger of most weapons, but uses a sliding mechanism to fire the weapon.
- The Chapter 1 version of the Pistol used comically large and stylized iron sights for the pistol, much larger than they would be in real life. These sights were scaled down for the Chapter 2 version of the gun. The size of the end of the barrel was also reduced for its remodel.
- The Pistol's slide is much more open than a traditional M1911, making it appear like a Beretta-style pistol despite all the M1911 design elements.
- The Common, Uncommon, and Rare Pistol shares its model with the Vigilante from Fortnite: Save the World.
- The Epic and Legendary Pistol is based on a Staccatto XL 2011 , which is based upon the M1911 itself.
- Alongside the Heavy Assault Rifle, the pistol is one of the few weapons to have its High Tier version be an actual upgraded version of the low tier one, rather than a different weapon entirely.
- The The Turncoat from Fortnite: Save the World share the same model a Epic and Legendary Pistols.
