- — In-Game Description
Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Chapter 2: Season 7. It is a Mythic version of the Kymera Ray Gun.
Functionality[]
The weapon is notable for its fire rate of 16, one of the highest among all weapons. It emits a constant red stream of energy after a short charge-up period when the fire button is held. The weapon has infinite ammo, but similarly to the Minigun, it requires a cooldown period after being continuously fired.
Obtained[]
From when the weapon was last available in Chapter 4: Season 4: Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun can be obtained by accessing the vault at either, Eclipsed Estate, Relentless Retreat or Sanguine Suites, spawning in one of the 3 (or 2) glass cases. Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun has about 25-50% chance of spawning at any vault, and only one can spawn per game.
Chapter 2: Season 7: Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun could only be obtained by eliminating Zyg and Choppy.
Stats[]
Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun deals 12 Damage per shot, firing 16 shots per second (192 damage per second). It requires a wind-up before firing, taking 0.2 seconds to do so. It uses Infinite Energy Cells with a little cooldown. The Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun has a headshot multiplier of 1.2x, and can fire continuously 39 shots before cooling down (for 2.44 seconds).

Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun is a beam weapon, meaning its attack directly connects with a target (like hitscan), but it does not fire separate attacks when held, instead dealing rapid damage in one continuous attack. As such, First Shot Accuracy is irrelevant.
