Chaos Exploder Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: Stats, Spawns, and Tips

The Chaos Exploder Rifle is the Dark Voyager’s heavy assault rifle firing explosive cubes that deal area damage. Available as floor loot, with a Mythic version obtainable from the Heatwave Harbor duck race. Uses Heavy Ammo.

Weapon Overview

The Chaos Exploder Rifle is a heavy AR that fires explosive cubes. Each cube detonates on impact or after a short delay, creating a small explosion. It uses Heavy Ammo and is available in Epic and Legendary rarities. The weapon is themed after the Dark Voyager, a key character in the Chapter 7 storyline.

How It Works

• Fires cubes that bounce once before detonating
• Explosions have a small radius (similar to a Shockwave Grenade)
• Direct hits deal bonus impact plus explosion damage
• Effective at mid-range, especially against players behind cover
• Explosions can destroy builds and force opponents to reposition

Where to Find It

• Floor loot (low drop rate)
• Chests (standard drop rate)
• Vending machines (purchasable for Gold Bars)
• Holochests (guaranteed higher rarity)
• Mythic variant from the Heatwave Harbor duck race (chance-based)

Mythic Chaos Exploder Rifle

Complete the duck race triggered from a bridge north of Heatwave Harbor. Ducks swim downstream, collide with boxes, and knock out various loot. The Mythic version has a chance to appear — not guaranteed.

Combat Tips

• Use it to flush opponents out of builds
• Aim at walls and floors near enemies for splash damage
• The explosion can damage multiple opponents clustered together
• Pair with a close-range weapon (shotgun or SMG) for follow-up
• Be mindful of self-damage — the explosions affect you too
• The cubes can be shot out of the air by skilled opponents
