Best weapon mods and attachments to use for SMGs and Pistols in Fortnite

The ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 features two pistols and two SMGs. These are Hyper SMG, Dual Micro SMGs, Ranger Pistol, and Monarch Pistol. However, you should note that the Dual Micro SMGs do not support mods.

Having said that, all the other three weapons can be customized with a Mod Bench, and here’s a full rundown for all of them:

Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Hyper SMG in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4:

  • Optic: Holo-13 (Provides 1.3x magnification)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduces recoil)
  • Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed)
  • Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces time to ADS)

These mods allow the Hyper SMG to become even more powerful in close-quarter combats. On top of lower ADS time, your recoil will be a lot less when using the spray option. Additionally, it provides you with a decent vision magnification while also boosting your reload speeds for fast-paced action.

Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Ranger Pistol in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4:

  • Optic: Red Eye Sight (Provides 1.15x magnification)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Drum Mag (Increases Magazine size but decreases Reload Speed)
  • Underbarrel: Laser (Increases Hipfire Accuracy)

The Ranger Pistol makes for an excellent secondary weapon in Fortnite owing to the firepower it offers. Adding these mods makes the gun even more powerful with reduced recoil and increased hipfire accuracy.

On top of that, the Drum Mag allows you to hold even more bullets for every round, giving you ample support in sweaty situations where you need more ammo to keep the action going. The Red Eye Sight provides some vision magnification, however, that is only good for close-range encounters.

Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Monarch Pistol in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4:

  • Optic: Holo-13 (Provides 1.3x magnification)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed)
  • Underbarrel: Laser (Increases Hipfire Accuracy)

The Monarch Pistol features a much slower firing rate than the Ranger Pistol, however, it makes up for it with the per-bullet damage it deals. Additionally, each round of this weapon has 7 bullets, making the Reload Speed a very important factor for the firearm.

Increased hipfire accuracy and reduced recoil mean you will be able to land your shots much more easily with these mods. The Holo-13 optic provides decent vision magnification, ensuring that you can have a fighting chance in close to mid-range combats.
