Are you looking for a Fortnite weapon that's mainly for medium and long range, but also does good damage at short range? Epic Games now has a new weapon for you: the Explosive Repeater Rifle.
Fortnite has brought a new weapon, the Explosive Repeater Rifle, to Fortnite with patch 25.11. The weapon shoots bullets that create a small explosion on impact. The special thing about it is that you don't have to hit your target directly with this explosive effect to inflict damage.
It is also an easy way to lure out enemies hiding in a bush, for example. With a few shots you can destroy the bush with the explosion damage, so your opponent can't hide anymore!
We have the exact stats of the weapon for you and show you how to get it!
