Fortnite update 30.10 brought back the Combat Assault Rifle, last seen in Chapter 3 Season 3, now updated and unvaulted.
Players can find this item, along with the new Shield Breaker EMP, throughout the game.
How to Find the Combat Assault Rifle
The Combat Assault Rifle can be obtained as floor loot and from containers in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. Nonetheless, these methods don’t guarantee players will find the specific weapon. To ensure acquisition, players should focus on specific NPCs.
Players can buy an Epic-rarity Combat Assault Rifle for 300 gold bars from Chiara at Grand Glacier or Chopper at Hazy Hillside Tunnel. This gives players a reliable option to secure the weapon. For a unique advantage, players can engage and defeat The Machinist, who carries a Mythic version of the Combat Assault Rifle.
Apart from obtaining the Mythic version from The Machinist, it seems the Combat Assault Rifle is currently not appearing in the game as floor loot or in containers. Furthermore, the NPCs who typically sell it are currently out of stock, making these NPC interactions crucial for obtaining the weapon.
