The Burst Pulse Rifle is an Exotic weapon in Fortnite that became available following the v17.40 update, the last one of Season 7.
It works very similarly to the standard Pulse Rifle, except it shoots in bursts, dealing a high concentration of damage if all projectiles in a single burst hit their targets.
Here’s everything you ought to know about the Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle in Fortnite.
Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle Description
Here’s the official lore surrounding the Exotic Burst Pulse:
First there was Doctor Slone’s special Pulse Rifle, but now another variant has appeared. Did the Aliens take the tech and add their own improvements? The Alien “Kymera” is selling the Burst Pulse Rifle, a Pulse Rifle that fires two-round bursts when aiming down sights and has a bigger clip size.
On a side note, if you do decide to approach Kymera, could you get a few pictures?
You can hire Kymera, but sadly you can’t photograph him.
Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle Stats
| Weapon | Burst Pulse Rifle |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Exotic |
| Ammo | Medium |
| Magazine Size | 20 |
| Damage | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 4.2 |
| Reload Time | 2.84 seconds |
The Burst Pulse Rifle hits hard with 30 damage per hit to the body and 45 damage for a headshot, as well as a decent fire rate. It takes medium bullets just like other assault rifles in the game.
The Burst Pulse Rifle also works in a very similar way to the regular Pulse Rifle in that you can ADS for more accurate shots, as well as more damaging shots. You can hipfire it and fire faster, though you will be much less accurate.
With it doing some huge damage (particularly if you hit headshots), the Burst Pulse Rifle is a bit of a laser in the right hands.
Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle Location
The Burst Pulse Rifle is an Exotic, a rarity that can only be purchased from NPCs.
The Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle can be purchased from the Kymera NPC for 500 Gold Bars in Coral Castle, the least popular POI that is up in the top left corner of the map.
Bear in mind that once the match is over, you will have to rebuy the Exotic Burst Pulse Rifle as it only lasts for one match. You can buy up to five Exotic Burst Pulse Rifles from Kymera.
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
