How to get Tactical Assault Rifle in Fortnite

The Tactical Assault Rifle has returned to Fortnite with the 29.30 update. Here’s how you can get this powerful AR in Chapter 5 Season 2.

The 29.30 update has unvaulted the popular Tactical AR in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. The current iteration of the reliable rifle first appeared during Chapter 4 Season 1 and quickly became a fan-favorite thanks to its range, accuracy, and low recoil.

Modeled after the custom Assault Rifle wielded by Keanu Reeves in John Wick 3, the weapon can do plenty of damage in the right hands. So, here’s how you can get the Tactical AR in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

Fortnite: How to get Tactical AR in Chapter 5 Season 2

Here are all the ways to get the Tactical Assault Rifle in Fortnite:

• Floor loot
• Supply Drones at Hot Spots
• Supply Drops
• Weapon Cases
• Loot Chests
• Purchase it from the Apollo NPC

There are five different Tactical AR rarities available in the game, ranging from Common to Legendary. Check out the stats for all Tactical AR variants below:

Rarity	DPS	Damage	Headshot Damage	Reload Time	Fire Rate	Magazine Size
Common	133	19	28	2.4s	7	30
Uncommon	140	20	30	2.3s	7	30
Rare	147	21	32	2.2s	7	30
Epic	154	22	33	2.1s	7	30
Legendary	161	23	34	2s	7	30

You can further enhance the weapon’s capabilities if you mod it at a Weapons Bunker.

The Tactical AR is best suited for medium-ranged combat where its range and tight spread come in handy. While it can be outfitted with a scope, the weapon is not ideal for long-range engagements as you’ll likely come up against Sniper Rifles and DMRs that have a higher damage output.

The same can be said about close-range battles as well, as SMGs and Shotguns should be the first choices when facing enemies head-on.
