Explosive Repeater Rifle in Fortnite
At Legendary, it deals 40 body damage at 0.95 shots per second (38 DPS), with a 5-round mag and 4.50s reload. Structure damage is 28. Rarities in the encyclopedia: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
The Mythic row is 45 body / 42.75 DPS / 5 mag — boss or medallion loot, not what you should plan a floor drop around.
Explosive Repeater Rifle’s Legendary DPS of 38 is 49% below the encyclopedia 75 DPS median for this category.
Earliest balance row on FortniteTools is August 8, 2025 (2025-08-08). That is when we logged it — not necessarily when Epic first added it.
- deliberate single-shot cadence — 0.95 fire rate at Legendary.
- Against 150 HP it is 4 body shots (3.16s TTK). A 5-round mag can finish 150 HP without a reload.
- Slow 4.50s reload — empty mag is a long punish.
