That\u2019s because this is a weapon\u00a0<em>type<\/em>, as opposed to an actual weapon.<\/p>\n<p>So, what actually is a Marksman Rifle in Fortnite? Plus, where can you find one in order to tick off that weekly challenge and pick up the 20,000 XP on offer? Keep on reading to find out!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Marksman Rifle in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A Marksman Rifle in Fortnite is a type of rifle that sits halfway between a sniper and an assault rifle, allowing you to aim down sights from distance but still enjoy a sizeable ammo clip (as opposed to reloading every couple of seconds).<\/p>\n<p>Important note: the only Marksman Rifle that you can currently get in Fortnite is called the <strong>Cobra DMR<\/strong>. All the other snipers in the game do\u00a0<em>not\u00a0<\/em>count as part of the Marksman Rifle category.<\/p> <h2><strong>Where to find Marksman Rifle in Fortnite<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can find a Marksman Rifle, namely in Cobra DMR, in two different ways in Fortnite at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these is Ground Loot, meaning the guns that are scattered about the map in randomised locations during every game. Run around the map for a while and you\u2019ll probably find a Cobra DMR lying around.<\/p>\n<p>If you struggle to find one on the ground, be aware that it\u2019s also possible to find the Cobra DMR in chests, including the Holo-Chests that were recently added (which require a key to open).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on Fortnite:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/is-fortnite-down\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Is Fortnite down?<\/a> <\/strong>How to check the server status<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-battle-pass-skins\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite battle pass<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 all the season 4 skins<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/new-fortnite-map\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>New Fortnite map<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 learn the points of interest<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-item-shop-today\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">What\u2019s in the Fortnite Item Shop today?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-characters-npc-locations\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite characters<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 where to find all NPCs<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-refer-a-friend-xander\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite Refer A Friend<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 how to get the free skin<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-anime-legends-pack\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite Anime Legends pack<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 all the details<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/how-to-slide-in-fortnite\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How to slide in Fortnite<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 which button is it?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-gaming-chair\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite gaming chair<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 price and where to buy<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-live-event-uk-time\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fortnite live event<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 when is the next one?<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>How to deal damage with a Marksman Rifle in Fortnite<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got a Cobra DMR equipped and filled with ammo, this quest shouldn\u2019t be too hard to complete. But remember the important detail in the description of the quest, which says you need to damage enemies using the Cobra DMR\u00a0<strong>from at least 75 meters away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>75 meters isn\u2019t exactly miles away, but it is further than your average face-off might be. If you\u2019re right next to an opponent, you\u2019ll want to run away and perhaps get some high ground before you try to snipe them for this quest.<\/p>\n<p>One handy tip is that you can place an objective marker on the map if you want to get a sense of how far away something (or someone) is to your current position. Pop one on the map in the rough position of your enemy, make sure you\u2019re 75 plus meters away, and get firing!<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Deal\" damage=\"\" to=\"\" opponents=\"\" with=\"\" a=\"\" marksman=\"\" rifle=\"\" from=\"\" at=\"\" least=\"\" away=\"\" fortnite=\"\" quests=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xOxYedOFHEg?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Another top tip, which we gleaned from the video above, is that The Herald counts as an opponent. This NPC boss battle can be found in Herald\u2019s Sanctum, which is clearly labeled on the map, and it is possible to shoot her from a fair distance away. With that knowledge in mind, his quest shouldn\u2019t take you too long to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
