In Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2, there are secret weapons that can only be found in specific locations. We will show you where to find the two hidden weapons “Rapid Fire” SMG and the Heavy Sniper.
What kind of weapons are these? These “secret weapons” are special guns that have been taken from the Fortnite vault and are now available in Season 2 again.
The Rapid Fire SMG and the Heavy Sniper are back, and we will show you where to find them on the Fortnite map.
“Rapid Fire” SMG and Heavy Sniper – Locations on the Map
These “secret” weapons can only be found in very specific locations. They are not included in the standard chests.
Locations on the map:
Where can you find the “Rapid Fire” SMG?
What kind of weapon is this? This weapon is a submachine gun that was introduced in Season 9. At that time, it was still known as the Burst-SMG.
Now the rapid-fire submachine gun is back, but not only has the name changed. It no longer fires a “burst”, meaning a burst of 4 shots, but can continuously fire 18 shots from the magazine.
Where can you find the submachine gun? You can find the SMG in various locations on the map, such as:
- In Pleasant Park, below the soccer field (teleport through the Pixie toilet)
- At the gas station, east of Frenzy Farm (again, you have to go through the Pixie toilet)
- In a small house, north of Holly Hedges
- At the radio station, east of Craggy Cliffs
- On a small island, north of Misty Meadows
Where can you find the Heavy Sniper?
The Heavy Sniper was removed from the game at the start of Season 1 Chapter 2.
Now, however, it is available in the game again. You can find the Heavy Sniper in the same locations as the “Rapid Fire” SMG. You can also find it at the 5 new locations on the Season 2 map, which are also marked on the map above:
- four of the locations are at the edge of the map: The Shark (northwest), the oil rig (southwest), the cave (at Retail Row), and the yacht (northeast)
- one new location is centrally located: the Agency
How do you get the secret weapons?
These two weapons cannot simply be obtained from a regular chest. Since they can only be found where henchmen are located, you must first fight them.
Eliminate all henchmen so they do not kill you on the way. However, leave one henchman alive, as you need him to open the chest. Since the special chest is often located in the basement, you will need to fight your way down there.
By the way, there is a good starter chest that is so secret that almost no one finds it:
Important for looting the secret chests:
- Leave one henchman alive, as you need him for the chest scan.
- Once you have found the chest, you just need to scan the henchman. It will open, revealing the sought-after loot.
- However, keep in mind that these two weapons do not always spawn.
