In a surprising turn of events, Fortnite's patch v28.10 has given the previously underwhelming Enforcer AR a significant buff, changing its dynamics in the game.

Fortnite Update v28.10: Enforcer AR Getting A Buff

Here's a breakdown of the exact details of this update:

  • Headshot Damage Multiplier: The headshot damage multiplier for the Enforcer AR has been increased from 1.5 to 1.65. This change means that players who can land headshots will find the weapon considerably more lethal.
  • Damage Adjustments Across Rarities: While the Common Enforcer AR retains its original damage, other rarities have received a damage buff. The damage for Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic variants has been increased from 33/35/37/39/40 to 34/36/38/40/41 respectively. This adjustment boosts the weapon's overall effectiveness, particularly in higher-tier variants.
  • Recoil and Recovery Improvements: The update also includes improvements to the recoil and recoil recovery time of the Enforcer AR. This enhancement makes the weapon more stable and easier to control, allowing for more accurate shooting over sustained firefights.

These changes are likely to shift the Enforcer AR from a rarely chosen option to a more competitive choice among Fortnite's arsenal. Players who previously overlooked this assault rifle may now find it a viable and effective weapon, especially in scenarios requiring precision and control.

This update demonstrates Fortnite's commitment to balancing gameplay and keeping the weapon roster fresh and exciting for players.
