- — In-Game Description
The Tactical Submachine Gun is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in the Pre-Season.
Functionality[]
The Tactical Submachine Gun is a short range weapon with good ADS Accuracy. The purpose of the Tactical Submachine Gun, in comparison to the regular version, is that it fairs slightly better at longer ranges, and has less bloom, at the cost of fire-rate and damage. This weapon isn't a hitscan weapon.
Stats[]
Tactical Submachine Guns range from dealing 18-21 damage per shot (162 - 189 Damage per second) to both players and structures. All Tactical SMGs use Light Bullets. They have a Headshot Multiplier of 1.75x.

Strategy Guide[]
- If choosing between the Tactical Submachine Gun and regular Submachine Gun, you should opt for the latter, as its stats and usage as a close range weapon excel compared to the Tactical version.
- The Tactical SMG has a more controlled fire rate, so it doesn't use up all of your ammo as quickly as other Submachine Guns.
