A couple of weeks back, the Fortnite community caught wind of a brand new Sniper Rifle making its way to the game. And, with the developers updating Fortnite’s in-game news pop-up, it is now confirmed. Epic Games is bringing the Heavy Sniper Rifle to the game with its next update which we believe, will land sometime in the next couple of days.

According to the developers, the Heavy Sniper Rifle will come in both, Epic and legendary variants, and will be able to deal extremely high damage to structures and player constructions. Now, as interesting as this piece of information is, it is quite vague. Well, thanks to FNBRLeaks, a channel known for leaking information regarding Fortnite Battle Royale, we now have a visual representation of what this new Heavy Sniper Rifle will look like in the game.

Check out the video below for more details:

It can be clearly seen that this weapon will be able to knock down structures (wood, metal or brick) with a single shot. This is because, this legendary rare weapon boasts a feisty 157 damage, with a reload time of 4.1 seconds, a fire rate of 0.33, and simplistic magazine size of 1.

Check out the detailed stats of both the variants down below:

It is currently unclear whether this gun will deal damage to the person standing behind the structure or not. For that, we will have to hear from the developers themselves. So, while we wait for that, let us know what you think of the upcoming Heavy Sniper Rifle. Do you think this new weapon will break the game or does it seem balanced?
