Sniper rifles are weapons which can deal long range damage in any shooter game. Players can stay hidden and take out enemies from a distance, without being spotted in Fortnite.

The 15.10 update in Fortnite brought a plethora of changes to the game. The map has been altered and now includes a winter theme to it. There's an area of the map which contains snow, and along with that, new skins, wraps and other items were added to the game.

Both these weapons have been added to the weapon roster in Fortnite as a part of the 15.10 update which dropped today. And that's not it, the update saw the Frost Legends pack make it's way to the game as well. And among other new things that were added, the ever elusive feature of disabling pre edits in the game also found itself in the updates.

With this feature, Epic Games catered to one of the most requested features by the Fortnite community. Many players had complained that they lost games because of pre edits, but now, with the ability to disable the feature, players won't be having that complaint any longer.
