This Page/Section is about an item or concept that has been removed from the game.

The Submachine Gun was a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in the Pre-Season with the launch of Battle Royale. It was the first weapon to be officially Vaulted.

Functionality

The Submachine Gun functioned similar to other SMGs, being a fast firing, close range weapon. The Submachine Gun could damage targets at longer ranges, but due to weapon spread and damage drop off it is exceedingly weak.

Stats

The Submachine Gun ranged from dealing 14 to 16 damage per shot (210-240 Damage per Second) to both players and structures. The Submachine Gun used Light Ammo - Icon - Fortnite.png Light Bullets and had a headshot multiplier of 2x.

The Submachine Gun was a hitscan weapon. It did not have First Shot Accuracy enabled at first, and would always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire, however, First Shot Accuracy was later added.

The weapon's spread is decreased whilst crouching.

Strategy Guide

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite.png
The risk was calculated... but man am I bad at math.
This section outlines a strategy. Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.


  • The Submachine Gun was ideally paired with a Shotgun, due to their close range abilities, if you do not kill the enemy with the shotgun, switch to the Submachine Gun to finish them off.
  • Make sure to be close range so you can hit all your shots, so you can do much damage to the enemy.
