Where to Locate the Stark Industries Energy Rifle in Fortnite

You can discover the Stark Industries Energy Rifle in regular loot chests, Supply Drones, Avengers Chests, Stark Chests, or even as floor loot during Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.

The weapon now utilizes Light Ammo, typically used for Assault Rifles. You can find the rifle in three different rarities: Rare, Epic, and Legendary, each featuring distinct stats.

The Rare version is readily available throughout the island, the Epic rarity mostly appears in Supply Drones or Rare Chests, while the Legendary variant can be found in Avengers Chests, Stark Chests, or drones.

Two firing modes of Stark Industries Energy Rifle in Fortnite — Epic Games/dexerto

The Stark Industries Energy Rifle features two firing modes.

Using the Stark Industries Energy Rifle

This rifle features two firing modes. The first is the single energy shot, which can be activated by using ADS (Aim Down Sights). This fires a blue pulse and presents a tighter crosshair, allowing you to utilize it effectively like a marksman rifle.

The second firing mode is the burst mode, activated by simply hip-firing the weapon. This fires red beams in rapid succession, allowing you to inflict light damage on foes.

Furthermore, the Stark Industries Energy Rifle is no longer a hitscan weapon, unlike in Chapter 2 when it operated with First Shot Accuracy. Players will now experience a notable bullet drop, necessitating a learning curve to effectively use it.

Here are the weapon stats for all rarities and firing modes:

Hipfire Stats

Stark Industries Energy Rifle Rarity	DPS	Damage	Fire Rate	Magazine Size	Reload Time
Rare	162.8	37	4.4	15	3 seconds
Epic	171.6	39	4.4	15	2.85 seconds

While the Stark Industries Energy Rifle may not be the ideal substitute for an Assault Rifle, it is perfect for players who favor Marvel-themed weapons and want to complement their loadouts with mythic superpowers.
