The Stark Industries Energy Rifle returns to Fortnite in Chapter 5 Season 4, bringing some classic Stark Tech mayhem to the island. Here’s how to locate this powerful weapon in the game.
With the Fortnite update 31.20 now available, there’s been a notable overhaul of the loot pool. Iron Man’s mythic items are back, along with the highly anticipated Stark Industries Energy Rifle. This weapon complements the existing array of Marvel-themed gear this season, ranging from Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets to Captain America’s Shield.
Players can wield a variety of weapons based on their preferences or consult our tier list to take down Doctor Doom and his henchmen throughout the island. Additionally, the Stark Industries Energy Rifle elevates your gameplay with its advanced Stark Tech features.
The new Stark Chests now house higher rarity Energy Rifles along with some mythics.
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.
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:
