Just like the start of last season, where the Mythic Goldfish was apparently planted in the Fortnite map for players to find \u2013 although not many actually saw one \u2013 this time around it appears a weapon of similar rarity is shrouded in mystery. There are a number of vaults dotted around the map, guarded by strong NPC characters with much higher health bars than average players. Once they have been defeated, they drop Mythic weapons and items such as the Drum Gun, Minigun and Grappler. Those who have already visited all of these spots will know that there\u2019s one gun that can\u2019t be found by raiding such vaults, and that\u2019s the Legendary Hunting Rifle. Fans who check out material posted to social media by Epic Games will also know that the weapon hasn\u2019t yet been formally added to the game, but some players have come across them regardless. Just like many other gold variants, the Hunting Rifle has exceptionally higher stats, reportedly laying out 100 for a simple body shot and some 250 damage for a headshot \u2013 enough to knock any player out of the action. So, let\u2019s take a look at how you can get ahold of it early in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2. How to get Legendary Hunting Rifle The Legendary Hunting Rifle is something of an early mystery in Fortnite Season 2, as it doesn\u2019t appear to have been added to the Battle Royale part of the game, although many content creators \u2013 like Alastair \u2018Ali-A\u2019 Aiken and other YouTubers \u2013 have been posting videos about it. While it\u2019s not yet been added to Battle Royale just yet, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t give it a try right now in Playground mode, testing it out before it\u2019s introduced in a future patch. All you have to do is enter the Creative mode, drop into the map and search chests until one pops out. (Timestamp in video below at 7:26) As seen in Ali-A\u2019s video above, he found it at Dirty Docks. However, there\u2019s no set place where it\u2019s always found \u2013 unlike other Mythic weapons \u2013 and even in Playground it\u2019s very difficult to find. Perhaps it will have a specific spawn location when it\u2019s released for everybody to play with. When is the Legendary Hunting Rifle coming to Battle Royale? There\u2019s no official timeframe for when the Legendary Hunting Rifle will be released in Fortnite Battle Royale just yet, although now that it can be found in Playground mode, we would expect it to be included in one of the future content updates.

Previously, Epic Games have released updates on a weekly basis and fans will be hoping for a return to that model in the near future. As of now, though, there\u2019s no way of telling how soon or far away the next legendary gun is from appearing. Well, there you have it! That\u2019s everything we know so far about how to get the Legendary Hunting Rifle in Fortnite Season 2. Hopefully, we will get more details on its inclusion in other modes in the near future so we can update this article further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to get Legendary Hunting Rifle in Fortnite Season 2 Epic GamesEpic Games have added many new weapons and items for the Fortnite Season 2 patch, but not many players have been able to get their hands on the Legendary Hunting Rifle \u2013 unlike other Mythic variants.
