New Rifle in Fortnite Battle Royale

Although the new v4.2 patch update was delayed for a day, it has now arrived and the highly anticipated Burst Assault Rifle. Epic Games teased the new gun on the Fortnite lobby screen for a for a few day so its not a big surprise, but fans of the game will still want this weapon because of the damage and rarity.

 

This new burst assault weapon does more damage to other players than any other rifle, with the epic version dealing out 32 damage and the legendary dealing out 33 for a body shot. It does have the same damage fall-off range as the other assault rifles that already exist within the game but the accuracy has been improved.

 

The rifle is modeled after a real life FAMAS rifle and has medium ammo. It is only available in the Battle Royale mode but no one knows for how long. It can be found in vending machines, treasure chests, supply drops, and for the lucky players, on the floor. The assault rifle will drop in Epic and Legendary rarities so it might be hard to obtain.

 

Many players will find the Burst Assault Rifle useful because of it power, but there may already be a new weapon on the way that will make this rifle look weak. A “Bullpup Burst” has been uncovered in the game’s data files which means that it could be included into Battle Royale mode very soon. This gun deals even more damage than any of the regular three-Burst Assault Rifle, making the burst rifle sound like old news. Until then, make sure you look through those treasure chests, within the vending machines and on the floor to find the much coveted Burst Assault Rifle.
