Where to Find Snipers in Fortnite Battle Royale

Recommended Videos

There are a ton of different weapons littering the map in Fortnite Battle Royale. Be it grenades, the newly-added Light Machine Gun, or just the good ol’ snipers. Depending on your playstyle, you’ll likely find yourself gravitating towards certain weapons and not others. Snipers are pretty great for those who’d rather not go head-to-head with their opponents, picking them off from a distance undetected, instead. Here’s where to find snipers in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Snipers can be found as both chests and floor spawns in Fortnite Battle Royale. Unfortunately, Battle Royale’s chests don’t spawn different weapons depending on where you are on the map or anything like that. It’s just one big RNG whenever you open one up, so you’ve just to hope luck is on your side. The same goes for floor loot drops. It’s completely random, so as a result, sniper rifles can’t be found in any specific location.

It’s worth noting, however, that if you see a blue, purple, or gold vending machine on your travels to the circle, you’ve got a good chance of being able to buy a sniper from it. You’ll need to give up about 300 + of one type of material, however, so make sure you’re stocked up.

That’s all you need to know about where to find snipers in Fortnite Battle Royale. For more on the game, be sure to check out our ever-expanding wiki.
