Ranger Assault Rifle Buff seems tonite

EPIC Games constantly makes changes to the ever-growing arsenal of Fortnite, and the recently published update V19.10 is no exception. The Ranger assault rifle has been a second-rate choice since its introduction in addition to the MK Seven-Storm Rifle at the beginning of Chapter 3. It has always hit harder than the MK Seven, but the accuracy was always a problem. Well, until now.

The latest title update from Fortnite is finally here and there is a lot to unpack. Tilted Towers, the infamous POI from Fortnite Chapter 1 card, is back and there is a new cooperation with League of Legends Arcane. It's all exciting stuff, but it's all a little superficial. There is more to learn about V19.10 and the changes that Epic Games has made behind the scenes at Fortnite — the meta changes, and it looks like a new king of Fortnite Island: The Ranger Assault Rifle.

Epic Games does not make patch notes in the traditional senses, but that does not mean that no changes are made. 'Hyper, a notorious Fortnite Data Miner, has confirmed several important changes to the performance of ranger assault rifle, which is easy to consolidate as one of the best Fortnite weapons.

The damage to ranger assault rifle for players and buildings is increased by one point. This sounds like only a small amount, but since the build-up of the MK seven is generated again, it increases only the gap between the two weapons.

This change alone may not convince you that a new meta is on the horizon, as the MK Seven still has its unique ADS function from the EGO perspective. However, this is not the only buff that the Ranger assault gun receives. Hyper also reports that the accuracy of the Ranger is drastically improved when shooting.

Due to the heavier nature of the weapon, the Ranger assault gun will still be neglected compared to the MK Seven, if it is just about the accuracy. However, these buffs will undoubtedly shake up the meta for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1. The ranger assault rifle meets harder than ever and — as its ball scattering is reduced — there is no better time to pick up one and shoot a Victory Royale.
