A new sniper rifle, leaked in Fortnite, could potentially counter the current metagame with a three times damage boost against vehicles. Vehicles have become a key strategy in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, mainly due to significant vehicular upgrades. However, the introduction of this new sniper rifle might change the dynamics of the game.
Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 3 began focusing more on vehicles, receiving substantial health upgrades, rechargeable boost mechanics, and various modifications. Consequently, using vehicles has become an almost obligatory strategy for players. The forthcoming sniper rifle, with its old-fashioned design and slow firing speed, promises an exciting change, providing substantial damage to both opponents and vehicles. It will be interesting to see how this weapon shifts strategies once it is officially released.
How to Counter Fortnite Vehicles in Season 3
While vehicles play a prominent role in Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 3, there are ways to counter their dominance. For example, players can use the newly added Nitro Fists to counter enemy vehicles. The Nitro Fists’ uppercut ability can launch cars into the air, forcing passengers to exit. However, there is no foolproof counter for situations involving multiple enemy vehicles.
As Season 3 emphasizes vehicle usage, it’s possible that Epic Games might avoid introducing a major vehicle counter before the season’s end. The leaked sniper rifle could be the closest option players have to deal substantial damage to vehicles, as it reportedly features a 3x damage boost against them.
In other news, Fortnite’s crossover with Lethal Company has been leaked, which may include a set of cosmetic items for players to acquire.
