This item has been made unavailable to balance the loot pool, and may return in the future. It is still available in Fortnite OG.

Assault Weapon: Precision Semi-Automatic. A semi-automatic tactical assault rifle featuring a scope. Good damage and impact at long range, but consumes a lot of ammunition.
— In-Game Description

The Scoped Assault Rifle is an Assault Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was introduced in Pre-Season.

Functionality[]

The Scoped Assault Rifle is a mid to long ranged semi-automatic weapon with a low zoom scope equipped. It fires slowly, does similar to damage to the Assault Rifle, but its key purpose is engagements at ranges where un-scoped weapons cannot effectively hit targets. The weapon is weak at close range due to its low fire-rate and low damage per second, but excels at long ranges where it can hurt targets using hitscan.

The Scoped Assault Rifle is a hitscan weapon. As it uses a scope, the fired bullet will always shoot from the center of the crosshair. Despite this, there is still damage fall off on the Scoped AR at longer ranges.

The Scoped Assault Rifle cannot be reloaded whilst aiming.

Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Carrying a Scoped Assault Rifle and an LMG, SMG, or a pistol with a high fire-rate can be a good strategy, as the Scoped Assault Rifle can be used for long-range while the other weapon can be used for medium-range engagements or as a follow-up to a shotgun.
  • Despite its ability to fight at medium and long range, the Scoped Assault Rifle is often a worse weapon to use compared to most other Assault Rifles due to its low single-shot damage and DPS. As such, carrying a marksman rifle or sniper rifle is often a better idea.
  • The Scoped Assault Rifle's magazine size of 15 for low level or 20 for high level means that every shot counts. It's best to tap-fire or fire in short bursts to regularly reset recoil.
  • Its low DPS makes it unsuitable for destroying buildings at anything below very long ranges.
  • It is generally not advisable to use the gun without aiming down sights, as it is extremely inaccurate if fired without aiming.
  • Make sure to regularly reload, as the low capacity of the Scoped Assault Rifle is very unforgiving.
    • Although the Scoped Assault Rifle's capacity is low, its very slow fire rate makes it harder to run out of ammunition when firing.

Counters[]

  • The Scoped Assault Rifle is only suitable for longer range engagements, so staying close to an opponent is advised when engaging.
  • A DMR is an immediate counter to this weapon, as most DMR's have the same range, faster fire rate, and higher damage than the Scoped Assault Rifle.
    • Keep in mind that all DMR's are projectile weapons, meaning you will have to account for bullet travel time and lead your shots.
  • Even the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is able to counter this weapon, as the scope can give away the position of the opponent, and it can overwhelm the enemy with its higher fire rate.
