Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 started with a bang, introducing new weapons, new POIs to explore, and of course, a fresh battle pass to grind. In this guide, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the Huntress DMR.
The Huntress DMR is a brand-new weapon introduced in Chapter 5 Season 2, inspired by Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. It's a rather unique weapon with the ability to serve as a good mid-range tool but, with the right scope, could work as a top-tier sniper.
In this guide, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the Huntress DMR, including how to get it and its stats. If you're keen on more content, check out all Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 weekly quests.
Fortnite Huntress DMR - How to get
The Huntress DMR can be found as loot in chests and as ground loot. There are Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, and Epic versions. There's also a Mythic edition, Zeus' Huntress DMR.
How to get Zeus' Huntress DMR
If getting your hands on the most powerful version of this DMR piqued your interest, you'll need to defeat Zeus, which is one of the new bosses available on the Fortnite map.
You'll find him at Mount Olympus. On top of the DMR, he'll also give you the Thunderbolt of Zeus weapon.
It's described as "a precision rifle created for the Gods to dole out punishment from a distance," and comes with multiple attachments that can aid you in making this DMR a very versatile gun.
