Here’s everything new in Fortnite Patch v25.11.
The Fortnite v25.11 patch is now live after a short downtime period. On the other side of the brief outage, Epic Games released a new Explosive Repeater Rifle, added new Reality Augments, and brought back the Pump Shotgun with a different name.
Here is a broader look at the Fortnite v25.11 patch notes.
New Explosive Repeater Rifle spawns in Fortnite v25.11 update
The Explosive Repeater Rifle has effectively replaced the Heavy Sniper Rifle. However, the two weapons are vastly different. The Repeater Rifle is a new spin on the Lever Action Rifle but fires rounds that explode on impact.
To locate the Explosive Repeater Rifle, you can search in regular Chests, rare Chests, Holo-Chests, and for sale by the Nia non-player character (NPC). Check out our NPC guide for a complete list of NPC locations.
Here are the stats for the Explosive Repeater Rifle after Fortnite v25.11. Please note that the first number is the Common rarity, and the second number is the Legendary rarity:
- DPS: 30-38
- Damage to the Body: 32-40
- Damage to the Head: 80-100
- Builds Damage: 40-48
