Fortnite Boom Sniper: What Is The Boom Sniper?
The Fortnite Boom Sniper is an exotic sniper rifle that was introduced in Chapter 2 Season 5. The Boom Sniper gets its exoticness by adding an explosive charge to its shots, which means that it only does around 10dps per hit, but then does an additional 60 when the explosion goes off. This also means that a viable tactic for the Boom Sniper is to hit players round corners at the explosion can do damage without actually having to make contact on that initial hit. Unlike other heavy snipers, the Boom Sniper Fortnite holds five shots over the usual one.
