Fortnite new weapon Scout Sniper Rifle is officially coming to the game

Weapons play a crucial role in any shooting game, but they become even more important when you have to survive in a battle royale. Fortnite Battle Royale mode has included many weapons since the launch of the game.

There are a variety of weapons in Fortnite, including shotguns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles. Now, Epic Games are going to add a new gun to Fortnite’s weapons roster.

Fortnite’s in-game news feed shows that a new Scout Sniper Rifle is about to make its entry into the game pretty soon.

The information regarding the inclusion of this weapon was leaked earlier by the data miners. Now, it seems like those leaks were accurate.

The official description of the Scout Sniper Rifle states that ” Knowledge is Power.” Well, the feature that makes this gun pretty interesting is that it can predict the direction of the storm.

It provides players with the information of where the storm will be moving next, which will allow players to plan their next move & strategy for the game.

A prominent Fortnite leaker, Lucas7Yoshi has shared a video of the gun which showcases how Scout Sniper Rifle works.

One exciting part of the shared video is that the weapon is giving 100% accuracy even during a no scope hit. It will be interesting to see whether the weapon will provide this much accuracy with no scope or not.

Scout Sniper Rifle can be pretty helpful in the last stages of the game, as in the end, the storm moves pretty fast & it is as dangerous as players & knowledge of Storm movement can really turn the course of the game.

According to Storm Shield, Scout Sniper Rifle will be available in Epic & Legendary variants. This sniper rifle delivers 80-85 body damage in a single shot, which is quite impressive.

Storm Scout Sniper Rifle is expected to arrive in the next major update (v9.50) of the game. If the gun comes before the Fortnite World Cup Finals, we may see the exclusion of this weapon from the competition.

The basic reason for that is it delivers massive damage in one shot and can work as a meta for the game.

Also, Epic Games will release Fortnite Week 12 Challenges this week, which means we are just a week away from the start of Fortnite Season 10. Also, a mysterious Loot Lake Orb will take an essential part in Fortnite Season 10.

Fortnite Season 10 is expected to start on 1 August 2019 & its battle pass will cost 950 V-Bucks or USD 9.99.
