Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has been going on for about two weeks, and it's finally time for the first big update of the season. Things change a bit with the arrival of hologram chests, the return of hook gloves, and the removal of dance bombs. But the new Cobra DMR (Special Sniper Rifle) is the star of this update. Standard DMR has been removed from the game to give the Cobra DMR a chance to shine, but only time will tell if it can live up to expectations.
Where is the Cobra DMR, the new weapon of Fortnite island, and how does it work?
The Cobra DMR is a sniper rifle that can be found on the ground, in chests and ammo racks, and even while fishing. So you won't have too much trouble looking for it on Fortnite island.
Those who like to shoot at medium and long ranges may find this new weapon an excellent choice, especially as it has a 1,6 times higher rate of fire than the standard DMR. It also comes with a magazine size of 20, twice the size of the DMR, so you can shoot a lot of shots without needing to reload. However, to balance things out a bit, the new weapon has slightly less damage output than the standard DMR and slightly more reloads. So keep this in mind if you're dealing with mid-range engagements.
As in every season, we recommend that you keep weapons such as Silenced SMG or Full Bridle Shotgun in your inventory for close range combat this season. However, if you're determined to be your team's sniper expert, it can be nice to finish off your enemies with heavily damaged weapons like a Ranger Rifle or Ranger Shotgun. But be careful when using these weapons!
