Fortnite is known to refresh the loot pool in battle royale every now and then by adding elements such as new POIs, weapons, and reality augments. The Explosive Repeater Rifle was added along with two new reality augments that you will find useful in survival and combat. I've used the Explosive Repeater Rifle, and although it is not the best gun in the game, it can devastate camping enemies with explosive damage. Here's how you can find the new Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite.
Explosive Repeater Rifle Fortnite Location
The Explosive Repeater Rifle isn't hard to acquire, you need to look for Regular chests, Rare Chests, and Holo-Chests, or can find it from ground loot. Alternatively, you can even purchase it from an NPC. You should be able to spot Nia walking near Steamy Springs POI and purchase the weapon for 250 Bars.

In Fortnite, weapons play a key role in eliminating enemies and surviving longer. You can acquire better weapons by defeating bosses like Highcard and Relik. Relik drops the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, which is one of the best ARs to use in the game. You can pair it with the Explosive Repeater Rifle to have coverage over close to mid-range.
Fortnite Explosive Repeater Rifle Stats
The Explosive Repeater Rifle is capable of delivering a small explosion on impact once players pull the trigger. This weapon deals 112 headshots and 45 body damage and works best in mid-range combat. Since it's an explosive weapon, you can deal damage without directly hitting the enemy if they are in hiding.
Simply use it to cause the explosion revealing your enemy out in the open. If you cannot hit your enemies directly, it will deal 38 damage, but you can easily deal damage to multiple enemies using it.
The Explosive Repeater Rifle has a similar appearance to the Lever Action Rifle, except the latter has a larger magazine size, and the Repeater Rifle has a 5 magazine size and a 0.95 fire rate with a 3.75-second reload time. With the addition of this explosive weapon, the Heavy Sniper Rifle has been vaulted in Fortnite.
