— In-Game Description

The Burst Assault Rifle is an Assault Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Pre-Season.

The Burst Assault Rifle has two Mythic variants, which are Ocean's Burst Assault Rifle and Slone's Burst Assault Rifle.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Burst Assault Rifle is a burst-fire, medium ranged weapon that fires 2-round burst shots. It excels at medium ranged combat but has the ability to perform decently at long ranges. It is weaker at close ranges due to its burst fire, meaning it's very punishing upon missing a burst.

The Burst Assault Rifle is a Hitscan weapon with First Shot Accuracy enabled.

Damage falloff:

  • Damage falloff begins at 50 meters (10 tiles).
  • Damage steadily decreases down to 93% of its maximum at 75 meters (15 tiles).
  • Damage reaches its minimum value of 84% of its maximum at 95 meters (19 tiles).

The Burst Assault Rifle can be reloaded whilst aiming.

Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Burst Assault Rifle has a decent DPS and high accuracy for a bloom-based weapon. It can used to eliminate targets in close-to-medium ranged combat.
  • The Burst Assault Rifle is very weak against structures, and it is ill-advised to use it against someone who is building cover.
  • At very long distances, the Burst Assault Rifle has a higher chance of missing the second and third shot of the burst. Stick to close-to-medium-range for the best accuracy.
  • The Burst Assault Rifle is not advisable to be used while hip firing, as it is very inaccurate while hip-firing.
  • In the lower rarities, it's often more advisable to use another rifle that fires in a non-burst configuration, as many automatic Assault Rifles offer much higher DPS.
    • However, the accuracy and quick damage burst potential gives the Burst Assault Rifle the edge in specific circumstances, such as when the enemy only peeks out for brief periods of time.
  • When using the three-round burst version, you can get an opponent's structure to very low HP before firing the Burst Assault Rifle. If you're accurate, the first and second shot will destroy the structure while the third will pierce through and hit the opponent, even while turbo-building.
    • This can be done with the two-round burst version as well, but it is much more difficult to pull off.

Counters[]

  • Due to the low fire rate, building can be a very effective counter to any version of the Burst Assault Rifle.
  • To counter the Burst Assault Rifle's long range effectiveness, close the distance and use a close range weapon like an SMG or faster firing AR.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Burst Assault Rifle after the Update v13.00 Patch was the first Burst Weapon with a two-round burst.
  • The Burst Assault Rifle can be seen in the Welcome to Springfield trailer for Chapter 6: Mini Season 2. However, the weapon was never unvaulted during that season.

Visuals[]

  • The Burst Assault Rifle's model is based on the French FAMAS G1.
    • The Epic and Legendary rarities were formerly based on the Austrian Steyr AUG-A3 SF.
      • The charging handle is on the right while the real-life version has it on the left and it’s not sticking outwards.
      • The real-life AUG-A3 SF doesn't have a two-round burst function. As such, the model for this weapon was introduced when the weapon was a three-round burst.
        • Furthermore, the AUG-A3 SF has an optional burst function, and can fire in full auto configuration in real life.
      • The model for the Epic and Legendary rarities was reverted to the FAMAS G1 most likely to prevent confusion, as the new Striker Burst Rifle uses the visuals of the AUG-A3 SF.
  • The Chapter 1 Low Tier Burst Assault Rifle shares elements from the Russian AKS-74U/AK-102.
  • The Chapter 1 High Tier Burst Assault Rifles was also based on the FAMAS G1, using a slightly different render of the weapon.
    • This render of the weapon had a smaller carrying handle, a darker and less polished metal finish, and a lighter colored magazine. It was also cleaner, and less worn compared to the current render.
    • This is the same render as the Lynx in Fortnite: Save the World.
  • The Burst Assault Rifle's current model, when used with the First Person Camera device in Creative, will aim over the carry handle when ADS, due to the model not having an iron sight, and the spot on the carry handle where the sight would be is filled in. Oddly, this also applies to the OG version that is in Creative, despite having a proper iron sight.
  • The former High Tier Model of the Burst Assault Rifle, because it is still used with Ocean's Burst Assault Rifle and Slone's Burst Assault Rifle, is also practically unusable when aiming in First Person, as the scope isn't functional, so it just aims down the scope, blocking any view in front of the player.
