Fortnite v25.11 has released, which means Fortnite’s summer celebration kicks off July 4, 2023, at 9 AM ET 🌴 But before this party begins, shoot some explosive rounds with the Explosive Repeater Rifle! Also, no party’s needed to augment your reality: activate two new Reality Augments with the release of v25.11.
FIRE AND REPEAT: EXPLOSIVE REPEATER RIFLE

Live now, the Explosive Repeater Rifle fires rounds that trigger a small explosion on impact 💥 Because of this explosive effect, you don’t have to directly hit your target to deal some damage. Suspect an enemy’s in a bush? After enough attempts at your target, the bush itself can be destroyed by the explosive damage, leaving your opponent out in the open!
To accommodate the entry of the Explosive Repeater Rifle, the Heavy Sniper Rifle has been vaulted. You can find the Explosive Repeater Rifle from the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, and for sale for Bars from Nia.
NEW REALITY AUGMENTS, HEAVY BENEFITS
v25.11 introduces two new Reality Augments fitting for the heavy ammo-using Explosiver Repeater Rifle:

HEAVY AMMO ACQUIRED

Instantly gain heavy ammo, then gain more when you open containers.
