Fortnite v30.20 added quite a lot of content to the game. While many players were focused on the introduction of Fortnite Reload and the Chapter 1 weapons, the standard Battle Royale game also got some great additions, namely the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle. This weapon was designed as the perfect counter to vehicles, which seems to be one of the most difficult obstacles this season.

Here is how players can get their hands on the Combat Assault Rifle in Fortnite.

This guide will tell players everything they need to know about the Heavy Sniper Rifle in Fortnite, including its stats and how to get it in Battle Royale.

How to Get the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle

Players can find the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle in Fortnite as floor loot or inside chest containers in Fortnite Battle Royale or Zero Build. However, since this weapon can only be obtained in the three highest standard rarities in the game - Rare, Epic, Legendary, - gamers must have a hard time finding since it's completely random. Given its rarity, fans can try their luck by searching Weapon Bunkers, which tend to contain quite a few Rare Chests - containers with high-rarity items.

Thankfully, there are two NPCs on the Battle Royale map that sell its Epic variant. For 300 gold bars, gamers can get the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle from Artemis at Mount Olympus or Hope in Sandy Steppes.
