The Heavy Sniper Rifle is now available to snap up in Fortnite, developer Epic Games has confirmed in a post on the game's official website.

Battle Royale users can get their hands on the weapon as part of Fortnite update 5.21, and it's a whopper. Not only does it cause huge amounts of damage to fleshy opponents, but it can even blow a hole through structures to boot.

On the Save the World side of things, Epic has added a new face in the shape of Thora, a Constructor who is capable of trapping husks and controlling areas in critical situations. 

There's more bug fixing going on too, so be sure to have a gander at the full patch notes for more details.

Fortnite is bloody impossible to avoid these days, with parents even giving their kids lessons on how to play the game like a pro.
