Where to find Boom's Exotic Sniper Rifle in Fortnite season 5: Step by step guide for beginners

Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 5 saw the introduction of a new sniper variant: Boom's Exotic Sniper Rifle. Boom's Exotic Sniper Rifle can be obtained in exchange for gold bars.

But before exchanging those gold bars, players have to meet an NPC called Splode.

Given that this region in Fortnite's map does not boast of notable supplies, the number of players who land in this region is usually quite low.

However, Splode's introduction to this part of the map has certainly spiced things up. Although nothing can be obtained for free from Splode, the NPC has a pretty interesting collection of in-game items for players to choose from.

It is advised that players carry a respectable amount of gold bars before heading over to Splode.
