Where to Find the Heavy Sniper Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2

Fortnite has a constantly rotating arsenal of weapons that players might need to get their hands on at the drop of a hat. The Heavy Sniper Rifle is a huge weapon that hits like a truck and will cause terror when your enemies realize what you are hunting them with.

The good news is that the Heavy Sniper Rifle will show up from all the same sources that other weapons, and can spawn from Ches and Rare Chests, and also from Supply Drops. There is nowhere you can go to improve those chances. You will just need to play through the game as normal.

The Heavy Sniper Rifle comes in Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarity, so you might get lucky when you find it and get something that packs some extra punch.

  • Rare – 120 Body/180 Headshot damage with a 4 reload
  • Epic – 128 Body/192 Headshot damage with a 4 reload
  • Legendary –  132 Body/198 Headshot damage with a 4 reload

Where the Heavy Sniper Rifle really shines is against vehicles. The weapon does bonus damage to all vehicles in the game, so if you are struggling to deal with tanks or cars, then this is the way to get it done.
