Monarch Pistol is a deadly one-shot pistol that deals massive damage in the new Fortnite season.

It won’t take you long to locate the new pistol, because it can easily be found as loot around the entire island. Nonetheless, you can land at new POIs, such as Castle Doom, Doomstadt, or The Raft to quickly acquire the Monarch Pistol from the abundance of loot.

The weapon is a slow-firing heavy pistol that deals plenty of damage in a single shot. However, it’s best used from close to medium range.

The weapon comes in six different rarities, including Uncommon, Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic (defeat Doombot boss at Castle Doom POI). Depending on which Monarch Pistol you use, the gun stats will differ for each rarity, with the Mythic version being the best and Uncommon being the worst.

You can mod the weapon at any of the mod benches around the island and customize it as per your liking to deal some lethal damage to your enemies.
