Fortnite: Suppressed Sniper Rifle guide – Locations, stats and rarity
Everything you need to know about the new weapon that's just hit Fortnite.
Our Fortnite Suppressed Snipe Rifle guide explains where to find the new weapon, its stats, and details of its rarities.
A new weapon has just been added to Fortnite with the release of Patch 7.10. Titled the Suppressed Sniper Rifle, this is a long-range weapon that packs a massive punch with a minimal audio cue so as to help you catch your opponents unawares.
In our guide to this new weapon of – somewhat quieter – mass destruction, we’ve got details of the rifle’s core stats, the locations you can find it in-game, and the rarities that it’s available in. As soon as we’ve got some gameplay footage to help you master it for yourself, we’ll drop it in here.
Official Description:
“Trade power for stealth with the Suppressed Sniper Rifle. Drop in now and sneak up on your enemies.”
Suppressed Sniper Rifle Stats
Here are the official stats for the Suppressed Sniper Rifle, as confirmed by publisher Epic Games:
- Epic: 100 base damage
- Legendary: 105 base damage
Suppressed Sniper Rifle Locations
The Suppressed Sniper Rifle is treated just like any other weapon in the game, and has a random chance of appearing from any of the following sources:
- Chests
- Floor loot
- Vending Machines
- Supply Drops
Your best bet, then, to get your hands on the Suppressed Sniper Rifle is to rummage through as many chests as you can – or just grab it from the corpse of someone who was, temporarily at least, luckier than you.
