Look no further; here is every way you can obtain the Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3.

How to Get an Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite

The Explosive Repeater Rifle can be obtained by:

• Searching chests.
• Finding it as part of the ground loot.
• Purchasing it from Nia.

To acquire this weapon, your best option is to purchase it directly from Nia, located south of Steamy Springs near the bridge. This method ensures that you won’t have to depend on luck.

Of course, to get your hands on this new rifle, you must spend 250 Gold. This weapon can come in all rarities making it an easy weapon to find, but purchasing it from Nia will provide you with an Epic version.

What Is the Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite?

The Explosive Repeater Rifle falls under the category of Sniper Rifles, utilizing Heavy ammunition to fire bullets that detonate upon impact.

This means that you do not need to directly hit an enemy to deal damage while using this weapon. By aiming at the ground near players, you can effectively harm them with the resulting explosion.

If you suspect an enemy is hiding in a nearby bush, you can shoot bullets at the shrubbery to potentially kill them with the explosive rounds.

Has the Heavy Sniper Rifle Been Vaulted?

Yes, on June 27, 2023, the developers vaulted the Heavy Sniper Rifle in Fortnite. The Explosive Repeater Rifle replaced this formidable scoped weapon.

Sniper enthusiasts in Fortnite might find this disappointing. Although the Explosive Repeater Rifle falls under the Sniper category technically, it fails to provide the same level of satisfaction as landing shots with the long-range scoped weapon.
