How to get The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2

Each Fortnite season comes with its own unique loot pool, which oftentimes hides many secret weapons that can be tricky to get your hands on. One of the rarest and most powerful ones in Chapter Seven, season two is The Foundation’s Rift Rifle.

While most weapons and tools can be obtained as random loot from anywhere on the island, this isn’t the case with this special item. To get this weapon in your inventory, you must unlock and complete a very specific challenge. If you’re unsure how to make this happen, here’s how to get The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite.

Where to find The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite

The Foundation’s Rift Rifle can be obtained from the New Sanctuary POI, which is near the bottom right corner of the Chapter Seven, season two map. At this location, you can find and hire The Foundation NPC, who is the only character that can help you get your hands on it.

How to unlock the Rift Rifle in Fortnite

You can get the Rift Rifle by completing The Foundation’s challenge, which asks you to eliminate three opponents. Initiating this process takes a bit of work, though, so here’s a full breakdown of how to make it happen.

• Visit New Sanctuary. It’s generally best to land here straight from the battle bus, as there’s only one Rift Rifle available in each round, which means you’ll want to start working on earning it right away to avoid missing out.
• Earn 750 gold bars. Loot chests, cash registers, and deceased players to quickly earn gold bars. You need at least 750 before you can start obtaining this gun.
• Find The Foundation. This NPC hangs around the New Sanctuary POI and is key to getting your hands on the Rift Rifle. He can be found wandering around inside the giant triangular building at the center of this location.
• Hire The Foundation. Once you find this character, chat with him and spend 750 gold bars to hire him as an ally.
• Eliminate three opponents. As soon as you hire The Foundation, a special challenge will start. He asks you to take out three enemies to prove that you’re worthy of wielding his special gun. Find and vanquish three opponents, which can be both enemy players and hostile NPCs like the Ice King and Dark Voyager Echo, to finish this trial. Progress in this challenge is tracked in the upper left corner, and there’s no time limit for completing it, but the sooner you get it done, the sooner you unlock your prize.
• Claim the Rift Rifle. Upon successfully eliminating three opponents, The Foundation’s Rift Rifle will spawn on the ground next to him. When it does, it’ll automatically be marked, making it easy to find even if this NPC wanders away from you a bit.

What does the Rift Rifle do in Fortnite?

The Foundation’s Rift Rifle is a modified version of the regular DMR, which means it can be fired similarly to the classic version of this weapon, but also possesses some unique perks. Specifically, you can charge up your shots with this gun to spawn a rift wherever you shoot. It can be used to deal serious damage, too, although its firing rate is a bit slower than a regular DMR. This weapon is Exotic, though, so it makes up for this with increased damage output. Overall, it’s one of the best weapons in the loot pool this season.

The Play It Your Way update has dropped in PEAK, and it completely introduces the way we have played the game so far. If you felt that the general gameplay was a hard challenge, it all changes now. This guide will give you a quick overview of all the major changes and what you can expect from the patch.

Complete PEAK Play It Your Way update patch notes

Here’s an overview of all major changes made as part of the new patch.

Custom Runs

You can completely change how runs worked so far in PEAK. You can make them as easy or hard as you want. You can also choose which tools to spawn with and what kind of hazards you can encounter on your run. You can also tweak how the environmental hazards work and how severe/relaxing their effects are.

Mini Runs

If you don’t have time for a full-scale adventure, you can try out Mini Runs. They will allow you to play a single biome of the daily map. These quick runs can be quite intense without being unnecessarily long.

Campfire Autosaves

It’s now easier to pause and resume our adventures without losing much progress. All you need to do is reach a campfire. You’ll be able to save all your progress automatically by accessing a campfire, and you can quit. You can later resume the adventure from the autosave, and this works until you win, lose, or begin a fresh run.

Additionally, you can hang out at a campfire without any hunger or fog progression. It will only extinguish after the scout leaves.

Zombie Phobia mode

If you hated the zombies, you can now disable them completely on Custom Runs. However, you can also use the Zombie Phobia mode to make things less graphic if you want.

Here are some minor changes that are part of this patch.

• Achievements that need to be done in a single run will now maintain their progress if a player disconnects/reconnects (such as Gourmand or Mycology badges)
• Fixed a long-standing issue where interacting with a rope shooter’s rope immediately after it was fired could cause a division by zero, causing chaotic behaviour, including locking the player’s controls or sending them to the void.
• Fixed issue where sometimes scouts would not revive when reconnecting in cases where they should have.
• Made the endgame scout report work properly after disconnecting and reconnecting to a game.
•  Audio sliders and kick button will now show up immediately when a new player joins without needing to re-open the menu.
• Scouts that were skeletons when they disconnected will still be skeletons when they reconnect.
• Fixed a bug where Player 3 and Player 4 would spawn in the same location.
• Rescue Hook now doesn’t put you in a ragdolled state for as long, making it easier to use.
