How to Get the Stark Industries Energy Rifle in Fortnite

The Stark Industries Energy Rifle is a high-powered assault gun added to Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 4 that really shows off Tony Stark's ingenuity. Since its release, this Iron Man-inspired gun has been one of the most versatile pieces of hardware in conflicts on the Battle Royale island for years.

With Marvel-themed origins, it would only make sense that the Stark Industries Energy Rifle finally returned in Chapter 5 Season 4 with many other Marvel-themed elements. However, with the newest change in and evolution of the game's loot pool, some question the viability and availability of this weapon. 

Where would this iconic weapon finally pop up for players to take up and try?

But despite its rare status, the Stark Industries Energy Rifle is weirdly common in Fortnite. This means that players will be able to find it in Chests, Floor Loot, Doom Chests, Avenger Chests, and Stark Industries Chests. If a player wants to get it in a more guaranteed fashion, they should find Iron Man.

With that done, head east of Grim Gate to find the Other Windmill patrolled by Iron Man. Approach him and engage in a conversation to unlock the option to purchase one Epic rarity Stark Industries Energy Rifle from him for 300 Gold. Note that he has only one, and this isn't very efficient if looking to get these rifles.

Another good tactic is to land at POIs highlighted in yellow. Most of them have flying Stark Supply Drones above them. Destroying these drones will drop a Stark Industries Energy Rifle courtesy of Iron Man Mk 45.

Stark Industries Energy Rifle Stats and How to Use

Energy Rifle- Stark Industries: An assault rifle that comes in variants of Rare, Epic, and Legendary. This gun has two firing modes, bearing a number of advantages over others. Precision Mode: A concentrated stream of blue energy with higher headshot damage and accuracy-the best way to attack targets farther away. It decreases fire rate though.

Hip-Fire Mode: With it, one can shoot faster, but then again, one sacrifices some accuracy and reach. It is thus effective in close combat.

Having medium ammunition capacity and unique firing mechanics, the Stark Industries Energy Rifle serves as a valuable weapon among players in need of a balance between precision and firepower.
