Fortnite: Where to Find a Heavy Sniper Rifle
We'll be looking at where and how to find the Heavy Sniper Rifle and Heavy Assault Rifle in Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2! This is a really strong weapon, so looking for it is a good idea when you head into the game.
We can't guarantee that you will get one of these trophies every time, but you have a high chance of getting them if you know where to go!
HOW AND WHERE TO GET HEAVY SNIPER RIFLES AND HEAVY AUTOMATICS
Where you want to go is any area that spawns chests with an ID scanner. If there are hunters spawning in the area, then there will most likely be a chest with a scanner. You can open these chests and find three weapons that can only be found in these chests. You can get Heavy Sniper Rifle, Heavy Assault Rifle and SMG from them. This seems to happen randomly, you won't always be able to get a Sniper Rifle out of them.
You can head to any of the new main POIs such as Shark, Yacht, Grotto, Horn, and The Agency. There are also smaller spots that are located around the map in lesser known areas! Once you're there, you'll have to deal with spies, so make sure you have a weapon. There are now two ways to open these chests. First, you can shoot down the spy, take him to the chest and scan him. This will open the chest and give you loot.
Another way to do this is to find a phone booth nearby and disguise yourself. You can then just scan yourself and open the chest that way. You can find phone booths very close to all these places. This is probably the safer option, but if you shoot at all, you will lose your disguise.
If you are struggling to find the chest, you can remove one of the spies, which will cause the icons to appear. Look for the treasure chest icon, this is the one you want. Again, you can't get a heavy sniper rifle out of a chest every time, but that seems to be the only way to get them at the moment with a high probability!
