Fléchettes

Edit on GitHub

Flechettes is a Perk added in the v0.20.0 "Open Season" update on October 27th, 2024. It splits your bullets into 3 smaller and weaker (but collectively stronger) bullets.

Effects

All bullets are split into 3 smaller ones. Each smaller bullet has the following stats:

• 40% of original bullet's damage (120% if all 3 bullets hit)
• Deviation of 0.7 from the original trajectory.

Obtaining

In Harvest Mode, Flechettes drops from the Plumpkin, located in the Plumpkin Bunker. Like other perks, it is occasionally dropped from Airdrops and more commonly from Gold Airdrops.

Strategies

Using

• Flechettes works great with high accuracy weapons such as snipers and DMRs, effectively giving them a damage boost with little penalty from missed shots.
  • It is mediocre with shotguns, as although it boosts their damage and makes it more consistent, it also increases spread significantly.
• This perk is more powerful in Squads, as the extra damage is helpful at taking down groups of players.
• Avoid using weapons with very low accuracy, as Flechettes can make them worse to use.

Countering

• Don't be too afraid of opponents with the Flechettes perk, as the 20% damage boost is relatively modest.
• Back up from the opponent and use a long range weapon like snipers and DMRs, using the higher spread to your advantage.
