How to Find the Explosive Repeater Rifle
The Explosive Repeater Rifle was added to the weapon pool of Chapter 4 Season 3 with the release of update 25.11, and it also came to replace the classic Heavy Sniper Rifle.
This weapon is available in all rarities, so it won’t be that difficult to find - especially its Common and Uncommon variants. Finding the Explosive Repeater Rifle is all up to chance since there are quite a few rifles in the game at the moment.
Players can find Explosive Repeater Rifle mostly as floor loot or as chest loot. Alternatively, there is a chance that they’ll be obtainable in a Holo-Chest at a higher rarity, since rifles tend to be available quite frequently. Since the Heavy Sniper was removed, theNia NPCalways has this weapon available for sale now, so those interested can visit her near Neon Bay Bridge.
How the Explosive Repeater Rifle Works
There is more than meets the eye when it comes to using the Explosive Repeater Rifle. This weapon is perfect for medium- to long-range combat, andonce its bullet hits an opponent or a nearby surface, it will cause a small explosiondue to the explosive rounds in its magazine. If the bullet doesn’t directly hit its target, the explosive will still deal some damage.
Players need to collect heavy ammo in order to reload the Explosive Repeater Rifle, which means gamers can improve this weapon even further by activating theHeavy Headshotsand theHeavy Ammo RequiredChapter 4 Season 3 Reality Augments. The first Augment increases headshot damage for heavy ammo weapons, and the second Augment grants the player some heavy ammo right away and makes it so they’re given more whenever they open a container.
