How to unlock the Marksman Six Shooter Exotic weapon in Fortnite Season 6

Fortnite’s v16.40 update has brought a ton of new content to battle royale, including an Exotic weapon called the Marksman Six Shooter. Here’s how you can get your hands on it in Season 6.

Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6 brought many changes when it first went live. Aside from a new crafting system and tamable wild animals on the map, the new season ended up changing the locations of many Exotic weapons.

There are fewer of these weapons in the current season than there were before, but the devs have been slowly adding more. The Marksman Six Shooter is a new one introduced in the v16.40 update. Here’s how you can get it.

Since the Marksman Six Shooter is an Exotic weapon, it can’t be found as random loot on the ground or in chests across Fortnite Island. You’ll need to find an NPC named Deadfire, and purchase the gun from him.

The good news is that this NPC will spawn at one specific location, so you can find him right away by heading over there. He’s located at the Sherriff’s Cabin, just northwest of Lazy Lake.

We’ve marked this on the map below:

Once you get to this area, you can purchase the Marksman Six Shooter from the NPC.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Visit the Sheriff’s Office northwest of Lazy Lake.
  2. Head inside and talk with Deadfire
  3. Select the Marksman Six Shooter option during your conversation.
  4. Click again to confirm the purchase.

Luckily, the Marksman Six Shooter is one of the cheapest Exotic guns in the game, costing only 400 Gold Bars. If you don’t have the sufficient amount, then you can check our guide for earning Gold Bars quickly.

This “fast-firing sidearm” deals 24 damage-per-shot with a magazine size of six. While it may not hold many bullets, the reload time of 2.1 seconds makes up for that, and Medium bullets are the ammo of choice.

Since the Marksman Six Shooter is a brand-new addition, it’s hard to tell how it will perform in the meta just yet. Ultimately, it’s up to you whether or not you want to spend your hard-earned Gold Bars on this gun.

There also plenty of other Exotic weapons to unlock, including the Chug Cannon and Dub Exotic. We’ll keep checking for more Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6 updates.
