Alright squad, let me break down how I hunted for that new gun in Fortnite today. Woke up early ’cause my buddy DMed me screaming about some OP rifle they added overnight. Grabbed my controller before breakfast – priorities, right?
First Try: Total Mess
Dropped straight into Tilted Towers thinking “big spots gotta have it”. Ran through three buildings smashing every chest – nada. Got lasered by some kid with a shotgun while checking attics. Not even the weapon menu showed it! Felt like chasing ghosts.
Switching Up Strategy
Hopped on Reddit during lunch (saw crumbs falling on my keyboard, ngl). People kept mentioning these spots:
- That fishing village near Steamy Stacks – random wooden shacks
- Abandoned trucks west of Craggy Cliffs – middle of nowhere
- Underground garages in Pleasant Park – sneaky basements
Punched my respawn button like “third time’s the charm”.
Finally Hit Paydirt
Landed at Craggy’s truck cluster – heart pounding when I saw purple glow! Got killed immediately by a camper behind tires. Uninstalled Fortnite for 3 minutes… then reinstalled.
Next match: Went fishing village. Three houses in – bam! Found it leaning against a fridge in some broke-down kitchen. Thing looks like a sci-fi hair dryer but shreds shields. Got two kills before dying to storm. Totally worth running across map like a headless chicken earlier!
Hot Tips After 20 Matches
- Stop hot-dropping – found it more in garbage sheds than named locations
- Check vehicle trunks – SUVs near gas stations had it twice
- Stop when you hear buzzing – makes weird static noise before you see it
Just be ready for third-parties – every sweat wants this gun. Gonna grind more tonight… if my wifi holds up!
