With the battle between Ice King and The Foundation heating up, both teams have now unlocked three milestones each, adding The Foundation’s Rift Rifle to the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 loot pool. This 1-of-1 weapon, as its name suggests, allows players to spawn rifts wherever they want. That is, if they can get their hands on it. If you are looking to try The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite, here’s everything you need to know.
Where to Find The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite
You can get The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 by hiring The Foundation NPC from New Sanctuary. Unlike the usual boss weapons like the Ice King Gauntlets, which require players to eliminate the Ice King boss, you need to prove your prowess to The Foundation to get his Rift Rifle. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Find The Foundation (Reforged) NPC at the New Sanctuary POI, where you’ll see him patrolling the location.
- Make sure you have at least 750 Gold in your inventory.
- Interact with him and choose the ‘Hire’ option.
- After recruiting The Foundation, you need to secure 3 eliminations with him by your side.
- Once you get the 3 required kills, The Foundation will commend your skills and trust you with The Foundation’s Rift Rifle.
It is important to remember that, since Fortnite NPCs can only be hired by one player per match, you need to be the first to get to The Foundation NPC. This rifle is an exotic variant of the Vector 7 DMR currently available in the game.
How to Use The Foundation’s Rift Rifle in Fortnite
The Foundation’s Rift Rifle is an exotic variant of the Vector 7 DMR and is better than most Fortnite mythic weapons this season. Since it’s an Exotic, it comes with the special ability of spawning a rift at the point of bullet collision.
This means you can essentially carry multiple rifts in your backpack if you want to get out of a sweaty situation or rift an enemy into the sky. If you shoot a bullet from the Rift Rifle without charging it up, it will work like any other DMR.
However, if you charge it by holding down the fire (R2/RT or Left Click) button, you will shoot out a rift. This new item, along with the Seven Power Gloves and Skyline Deployer, proves that Chapter 7 Season 2 is a great time for movement in Fortnite.
As more items in the Team Ice King vs Team Foundation conflict are unlocked, players have a ton of unique items to play around with this season.
