Where to get the Boom Sniper in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4

The Boom Sniper Rifle is an Exotic Sniper Rifle in Fortnite that is making its way back onto the island in Chapter 3 Season 4. Not only has this weapon been Unvaulted, but Update v22.00 has buffed the rifle, bolstering its explosive damage from 60 to 75. Such a significant increase in power undoubtedly makes it a deadly armament in the hands of those skilled in long-ranged combat. Keep in mind that the Heavy Bullet from the Boom Sniper deals damage and contact damage, including the buffed explosive damage from the projectile’s blast. Finding the Boom Sniper’s location in Fortnite is map knowledge that every long-ranged combatant should have in Chapter 3 Season 4.

Thanks to gameplay footage provided by YouTube content creator Singularity, Fortnite fans can see the exact location of the Boom Sniper seller on the island map. While Rustler does tend to wander about the area, she will typically stay on the eastern side of Shifty Shafts. Therefore, if players land or enter the main zone of the landmark, they must head to cabins on the eastern hills to find Rustler.

As mentioned above, Rustler will sell the Boom Sniper for 600 Bars in Fortnite. Earning Bars in Season 4 is no different from the past seasons. Players can obtain this currency by opening and destroying loot containers, such as Chests, Rare Chests, Safes, or Cash Registers. A great place to find Rare Chests would be the nine Bunker Vaults dotted about the island. Keep in mind that a key is required to enter these havens of valuable loot. Bars can also be acquired by eliminating player opponents and completing Bounties at the Bounty Boards found all over the map. After obtaining the Boom Sniper, players can wreak havoc on their enemies from afar. Remember that the headshot damage multiplier only affect contact damage, not the explosive damage applied by the rifle’s projectile.
