The Lever Action Rifle in Fortnite was introduced as part of the v15.10 update in Chapter 2 Season 5.

The Lever Action Rifle comes in three different rarities: common, rare, and epic. The weapon dishes out 52,55, and 58 damage respectively. The fire rate and magazine size is consistent across all rarities at 1.25 and 9. The reload time improves as the rarity increases at 6.6/6.0/5.7.

Fortnite content creator, SypherPK, dropped a video using the Lever Action to display its strengths and weaknesses while having some fun attempting trick shots at the end of the game. The weapon is not as good as some of the other snipers in Fortnite, but the hip-fire accuracy appears to be relatively strong if you are looking to create some content.

Players can pick up the common Lever Action rifle by opening chests and scooping it up from floor loot. The rare version can also be found from chests and floor loot. The epic version can be found from chest, rare chests, and supply drops but not as floor loot.

One of the daily Operation Snowdown Fortnite challenges required players to deal 100 damage with the Lever Action Rifle. It is a fairly straightforward challenge and easy to complete, especially when dropping into Team Rumble where Fortnite players get unlimited respawns.
