With the arrival of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2, Epic Games unvaulted a ton of weapons and items. One of which was the Heavy Sniper. This legendary and epic-rarity sniper is capable of hitting enemies harder and from further away than the regular sniper. It can also destroy wooden structures in a single shot. Here’s how to get the Heavy Sniper in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2.
Getting the Heavy Sniper in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2
To get a Heavy Sniper in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2, all you need to do is open a Chest or a Supply Drop. This is your best chance of getting a Heavy Sniper.
While there’s a chance you can get them as floor loot, this is incredibly unlikely. There’s also the chance that Henchmen could drop a Heavy Sniper once you defeat them, but there’s no guarantee of this.
Similarly, you can always try opening the longer chests that only Henchmen, or players that are wearing a disguise can open up. These can be found in the new named locations:
- The Shark
- The Rig
- The Grotto
- The Yacht
- The Agency
These larger chests require you to either down a Henchmen in the surrounding area and then carrying them over to a chest and interacting with it to scan them before it opens. Alternatively, you can find the nearby phone box to assume a disguise that will allow you to open them.
To maximize your chances even further, you can always open the Vault at each of these new named locations. Inside, you’ll find a ton of rare weapons and items, one of which could be a Heavy Sniper. We’ve got one by doing this in a few games already.
That’s all you need to know about how to get the Heavy Sniper in Fortnite. For more tips, tricks, and guides, be sure to check out our ever-expanding guide wiki.
