- — In-Game Description
The Hoprock Cube Rifle is an Uncategorized Item in Fortnite that was introduced in Chapter 7: Season 2.
The Hoprock Cube Rifle is the Exotic variant of the Cube Rifle.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Cube Rifle is a slow firing, high damage assault rifle that only functions like a normal gun whilst firing from the hip. Instead, attempting to aim down sights will consume five ammo and fire a slow moving cube that explodes on impact. Shooting the cube with the Cube Rifle's primary attack will instantly detonate it, giving higher damage and explosion radius.
The Hoprock Cube Rifle grants an infinite Hop Rock low-gravity effect to the player, as long as they are actively holding the weapon. Switching away from it cancels the effect.
The Hoprock Cube Rifle's primary attack is Hitscan, without First Shot Accuracy. Its secondary attack fires a Slow Moving Projectile that isn't affected by gravity.
