Fortnite: How to craft pistols in Season 6

Ever since crafting was added to Fortnite in Season 6, the ability to craft and upgrade weapons on the go has become an asset to skilled players. Picking up a gun and upgrading it on the fly has allowed players to focus on gameplay rather than having to constantly look for better items.

No doubt the crafting mechanic could still use a lot of work; however, it has become an integral part of Fortnite. Due to this, one of the Fortnite week 12 challenges tasks loopers with upgrading pistols three times.

Are pistols good in Fortnite?

Despite pistols not being the best choice of weapon in combat, skilled marksmen can use them to make short work of opponents. While the range is limited and not really suited for long-range combat, pistols can be deadly in close-range encounters.

Unlike AR's in-game, pistols don't really suffer much of an accuracy penalty when fired quickly. Besides, once upgraded and in the right hands, they become pretty formidable weapons and can take down opponents easily during a firefight.
