The Bank Shot Pistol has just landed in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, forcing players to rethink their shooting logic.
Looting the Weapon
Players pick up the Bank Shot Pistol from any standard loot source—chests, rare chests, and fishing spots. The pistol appears in every rarity tier: Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. While the base version is easy to find, the Mythic variant concentrates in Vaults. Renegade Vaults house at least one rare chest and one Sprite chest, whereas Sprite Vaults stock multiple rare chests, making both locations prime hunting grounds.
Mastering the Ricochet
Equip the pistol, then aim with L2/LT or right‑click; a trajectory line will illuminate the path. Fire with R2/RT or left‑click. The gun holds a single round, obliging players to reload after each shot. Direct rounds can one‑shot low‑tier enemies, while ricochets deliver a 1.5× damage boost. For rapid close‑quarters play, funnel pellets off the floor rather than walls; a downward angle reduces the need for precision timing. The move set demands rehearsal but rewards each calculated bounce.
Exotic and Mythic Variants
Epic Games has shuffled the exotic version into the game files for Chapter 7 but it hasn’t yet released it; it is slated for the next patch. The exotic is expected to mimic the Rift Rifle’s rift‑creation, offering map‑altering ricochet possibilities. Meanwhile, Mythic-level pistols—found exclusively in Vaults—grant the highest damage outputs, maintaining the one‑shot aura.
As the update rolls out, keep an eye on Vault content and the rising value of ricochet‑capable shots that can turn the tide of a battle.
