Heavy Sniper Rifle in Fortnite
At Legendary, it deals 132 body damage at 0.64 shots per second (84.48 DPS), with a 1-round mag and 3.60s reload. Structure damage is 165. Rarities in the encyclopedia: Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
The Mythic row is 138 body / 88.32 DPS / 1 mag — boss or medallion loot, not what you should plan a floor drop around.
Heavy Sniper Rifle’s Legendary DPS of 84.48 is about even with the encyclopedia median of 81 DPS for this category.
- slow pump or bolt cadence — 0.64 fire rate at Legendary.
- Against 150 HP it is 2 body shots (1.56s TTK). A 1-round mag cannot finish 150 HP in one dump — you reload mid-fight or swap.
Stats by rarity
Body damage × fire rate = DPS. Planning values — bloom, falloff, and pellet spread still decide real fights. Confirm in-game after patches.
