With the release of patch 27.00, Fortnite plunged its players into nostalgia by launching Chapter 4 OG Season. This season marked the highly anticipated return of the mythical map from the first season of Battle Royale, featuring iconic locations like Tilted Towers. It also brought back a plethora of legendary items and weapons while adding new skins through the Battle Pass.
Among the weapons making a triumphant return, the heavy sniper rifle has excited many players, and they are wondering where they can get their hands on this formidable weapon. We'll reveal where to find it and how to add it to your arsenal.
If you're actively searching for a heavy sniper rifle in Fortnite, a weapon that has always been appreciated by players in the Battle Royale, know that you have several options to obtain one. These weapons are scattered throughout the Chapter 4 OG Season map. You can find them in chests, on the ground, in supply crates, or even purchase them from weapon vending machines. Keep in mind that using a heavy sniper rifle may be necessary to complete certain challenges.
The Heavy Sniper Rifle is a high-impact sniper rifle but has a slow reload time. It deals a substantial amount of damage to players and even more to vehicles. Its hip-fire accuracy is mediocre due to its classification as a sniper rifle. It comes in four different versions: Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic.
When considering whether to choose a Heavy Sniper Rifle, a Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, or a Carbine, it's essential to note that they all deal the same amount of headshot damage. After that, it's worth considering that the Heavy Sniper Rifle deals much more damage to players, structures, and vehicles than the other two options, but it has the drawback of a slower fire rate and longer reload.
The availability of the heavy sniper rifle begins on November 23, with the release of patch 27.11. This weapon is available in the Battle Royale mode as well as in the No Build mode, providing multiple opportunities to showcase your sharpshooting skills.
To top it all off, Fortnite's Chapter 4 OG Season reintroduces other highly appreciated weapons like the quad launcher and the specialized pump-action shotgun. Additionally, a handy means of transportation, the gliderboard, also makes its grand return.
Fortnite Chapter 4 OG Season is a tribute to the game's roots and will delight veterans while offering new players the opportunity to discover Battle Royale classics. Stay tuned for Fortnite updates and new opportunities that will unfold throughout the season.
Fortnite OG goes beyond a simple commemoration of the past; it is a true homage to the game's origins that captivated millions of players worldwide. As themed seasons come and go, the game remains true to its proven formula while integrating innovative elements, providing an unparalleled experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.
