Storm Scout Sniper Rifle

The Storm Scout Sniper Rifle is a Sniper Rifle in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Season 9. 
Storm Scout Sniper Rifle has an version called Storm Scout.
==Functionality==
The Storm Scout Sniper Rifle functions very similar to other Snipers, such as the Bolt-Action or Semi Automatic, with its key difference being its magazine size, and unique feature to locate, and track the next storm circle. When aiming down sights with this weapon, in the bottom left hand corner, there will be a small logo of the map, with the current circle, and the next circle present. This can be used to relocate into the storm circle before other players and make it far less likely for you to die to it. Aside from this, it functions as a regular sniper rifle, having a projectile bullet, as well as exceeding at long ranges, and being weak at close ranges.

==Trivia==
*The Storm Scout Sniper Rifle is the product of a mix-up during one of the patches in Season 9. By accident, the Eye Of The Storm Tracker was added to the game and provided the tracking function of the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle, but was an item instead of a weapon. The tracker was promptly removed, and later the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle was added to provide the storm tracking function to the game.
*The weapon is based off of the real world Shadowtrax8, an experimental firearm designed with advanced technology to increase accuracy.
*Prior to its release, the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle could've been obtained early via Presents in Creative before being patched two days later.
