Unleash Chaos: Master the Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite

Chapter 4 Season 3 introduced a variety of new weapons to Fortnite, never seen before. As the season progresses, Epic Games continues to release more content updates and add new weapons to the game. The recent update 25.10 brought the highly popular MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, along with the Wildguard Relik boss, and now players can also experience the Explosive Repeater Rifle.

This guide will assist players in locating the Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite, which was introduced with the 25.11 update on June 27. Additionally, it will provide an explanation of how the rifle's explosive rounds can be effectively utilized against opponents.

How to Find the Explosive Repeater Rifle

The Explosive Repeater Rifle made its debut in Chapter 4 Season 3 through update 25.11, taking the place of the iconic Heavy Sniper Rifle. It can be found in all rarities, making it relatively easy to locate, particularly the Common and Uncommon versions. However, due to the abundance of rifles in the game, stumbling upon the Explosive Repeater Rifle is purely a matter of luck.

The Explosive Repeater Rifle can be found primarily as floor loot or as loot inside chests. Additionally, there is a possibility of obtaining it from a Holo-Chest of higher rarity, as rifles are often quite common. Following the removal of the Heavy Sniper, the Nia NPC now consistently stocks this weapon for sale. Those who are interested can easily locate her near the Neon Bay Bridge.

How the Explosive Repeater Rifle Works

When it comes to utilizing the Explosive Repeater Rifle, there is more than meets the eye. This weapon is particularly effective for engaging in medium- to long-range combat. Each bullet fired from the rifle has explosive rounds in its magazine, resulting in a small explosion upon impact with an opponent or nearby surface. Even if the bullet does not directly hit the intended target, the explosive still inflicts damage.

In order to reload the Explosive Repeater Rifle, players must collect heavy ammo. This presents an opportunity for gamers to enhance the weapon's capabilities further by activating the Heavy Headshots and Heavy Ammo Required Chapter 4 Season 3 Reality Augments. The first augment increases headshot damage for weapons that use heavy ammo, while the second augment immediately provides the player with some heavy ammo and ensures they receive more whenever they open a container.

Fortnite is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
