With the advent of Fortnite’s Chapter 4 Season 3, the game has undergone several significant transformations, one of which is the introduction of the Explosive Repeater Rifle. This new addition has superseded the Heavy Sniper Rifle, rendering it the sole firearm in the game that uses heavy ammunition​.
The Explosive Repeater Rifle is part of the v25.11 update, which was ushered in alongside two new Augments and the Slap Splash consumable. The rifle, borrowing its design cues from the now-vaulted Heavy Sniper Rifle, brings an explosive twist to the game by firing explosive projectiles using heavy ammo just like any other rifle​.
Players might notice the absence of a scope on the Explosive Repeater Rifle, but its precise crosshair makes it an ideal choice for mid to long-range engagements. It has the unique ability to inflict immediate explosive damage to enemies and nearby objects, making it a game-changer in the Fortnite universe​.

It is readily available in chests or as floor loot across the island. In addition, players can buy the Explosive Repeater Rifle from an NPC named Nia, who is usually spotted near Steamy Springs and the Grind Rails Bridge leading to Kenjutsu Crossing. The weapon can be purchased in Epic rarity for 250 Gold Bars upon interacting with Nia​​.

The Explosive Repeater Rifle boasts a damage count of 76 on the body and 114 on headshots. Despite its rapid fire rate, which surpasses single-shot sniper rifles used in previous Fortnite seasons, some players may still prefer the Thermal DMR due to its scoped advantage. The replacement of the Heavy Sniper with the Explosive Repeater Rifle has indeed sparked lively discussions among the Fortnite community​​.
The Explosive Repeater Rifle brings a whole new dimension to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3, enhancing the gaming experience with its explosive firepower and unique features. It’s a must-try for all Fortnite enthusiasts!
