... Read moreHey fellow Loopers! So, you've seen my 'Hand Cannon beams' clip, and let me tell you, this weapon is seriously underrated, especially in Fortnite Ranked Zero Build. When I first started playing, I often overlooked it for faster-firing weapons, but once I learned how to master the 'cannonhandz,' my eliminations shot up! The Hand Cannon isn't about spray and pray; it's about precision. Those satisfying 'beams' come from careful aiming and understanding bullet drop. I always practice my crosshair placement. It’s perfect for finishing off opponents who are 'KNOCKED DOWN' or for getting those crucial long-range taps before pushing. I’ve had so many moments where I've secured '5 Eliminations in a match' just by patiently lining up my shots. It truly gives you a 'TASTE OF POWER' when you hit those headshots. For Zero Build, my go-to strategy usually involves pairing the Hand Cannon with a fast-firing weapon or a good close-range option. While the Hand Cannon handles mid-range well, you need something for when enemies get too close. I often carry a 'TACTICAL SHOTGUN' for those intense close-quarters battles. You can soften them up with a Hand Cannon shot, then quickly 'SWAP' to the shotgun to finish them off. This combo is lethal for wiping out an 'ENEMY TEAM WIPED!' in a tight spot. The Hand Cannon really shines in clutch situations. When it's down to the wire, and you need to get those crucial picks, its high damage per shot is invaluable. Don't be afraid to take those calculated risks. I've been 'DOWNED' myself countless times, but often it's been the Hand Cannon that allowed my teammates to turn the tide or for me to get that last-ditch 'ELIMINATED' before I went down. It’s all about maintaining composure and trusting your aim. So, next time you're dropping into Fortnite, don't sleep on the Hand Cannon. Practice those 'beams,' experiment with your loadouts, and get ready to rack up some epic '500 XP' and '700 XP' eliminations. What are your favorite Hand Cannon strategies?
