The Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle is a new fully automatic weapon introduced with Treasure Hunters in update v43.00. Epic describes a fast-firing rifle designed for medium-range fights, rather than a shotgun or a slow single-shot rifle.
It is included in Battle Royale, Reload and Blitz Royale. Finding it depends on the mode. Blitz has a named loot source, while Battle Royale has no officially guaranteed chest or location for the Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle.
Where to find the Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle
On Crossbones Isle, the rifle is part of the new Treasure Hunters Battle Royale lineup. Epic’s launch notes do not name a fixed spawn, and no specific point of interest has an officially confirmed Bundlebuss bonus. Loot as you normally would, and don’t waste a match travelling to a supposedly guaranteed spawn from a clip that doesn’t show the current game.
The Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle is also listed among Reload’s new items. Reload has a different map rotation and selection of returning guns, so a route written for Crossbones Isle will not automatically apply. The weapon’s inclusion is confirmed; a recurring Reload spawn is not.
How to get the Bundlebuss in Blitz Royale
Epic’s Blitz v43.00 update names the Bundlebuss among Legendary weapons available from Gold Supply Drops. Other Legendary and Mythic guns are in the same pool. That gives you a confirmed type of loot source, but does not mean every drop contains the rifle.
Blitz also lists new Epic-rarity weapons in Gold Chests, without publishing every weapon’s chance. Looking for a Legendary Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle in Blitz? Gold Supply Drops are the place Epic names. That doesn’t make them a guaranteed source in regular Battle Royale.
How does the Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle fire?
It’s fully automatic: hold your normal fire control for sustained shots rather than expecting one round per press. Epic calls it fast-firing and strongest at medium range. That makes it suitable for pressuring an opponent crossing open ground between two pieces of cover.
The official notes do not publish the exact magazine capacity, ammo type, headshot damage or DPS. For exact stats, use the weapon details in your inventory, particularly when comparing two different rarities. Don’t use damage values taken from an older rifle with a similar name.
When is the Bundlebuss worth using?
The Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle fits an engagement across a street, courtyard or modest gap. Keep a clear line of sight, fire when a target moves out of cover, and avoid standing in one place if the opponent can return fire. If the target gets behind cover, stop firing blindly and look for another angle instead of burning through your ammunition.
For close quarters, a shotgun can fill the gap. The new Gilded Dragoon Shotgun offers a powerful single-fire blast, whereas the Bundlebuss keeps bullets going at medium distance. Having a medium-range rifle and a shotgun means you can switch according to the distance rather than forcing one gun to handle every fight.
Bundlebuss versus Hammer Assault Rifle
The Hammer Assault Rifle is one of the returning weapons in Treasure Hunters. Epic does not supply a full comparable damage chart for it and the new Bundlebuss in the public v43.00 notes, so it would be misleading to declare a guaranteed winner from numbers that have not been verified.
Instead, consider which weapon’s handling suits you, what rarity you’ve found and how far away your next opponent is. The Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle is clearly intended as a fast medium-range option; that does not make it automatically stronger than every returning assault rifle.
Is the Bundlebuss in Ranked, Reload and Blitz?
Epic confirms Bundlebuss availability in the main Treasure Hunters notes and in the Reload and Blitz updates. Unlike the Explosive Cannon Ball, it is not labelled non-Competitive-only in the public Battle Royale announcement. Tournament-specific loot pools can differ, so check the rules for your actual playlist.
The Fortnite Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle is available from the season’s launch rather than being one of the guns promised for later in November. For the wider collection of new and unvaulted equipment, see the Treasure Hunters loot pool guide.
