Fortnite Season 2 is almost a week old, but players are still discovering some new Places to research and secrets under the surface.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 also brought back the Heavy AR, Heavy Sniper, and Minigun weapons along with the new Rapid-Fire SMG. Of the returning weapons, the Heavy Sniper and Rapid-Fire SMG are proving to be the most elusive.
You can find the Heavy Sniper on the Yacht, but that’s not the only location that houses it. You can also visit some unnamed locations that spawn locked chests. Inside these, you’ll find a Heavy Sniper – and sometimes a Rapid-Fire SMG.

The Heavy Sniper appears to spawn all over the map. You can grab it from one of the locked chests by using a downed henchman or a disguise from a phone booth.
The Rapid-Fire SMG appears to be a rarer drop that seems to be isolated to the unnamed ‘Safe Houses’. You can grab it in the Pleasant Park underground, a small house north of Holly Hedges, FN Radio (near Craggy Cliffs), the gas station near Frenzy Farm, and the underground base near Lazy Lake.
The above video from Kanga shows all of the unnamed locations that have a chance at dropping the Rapid-Fire SMG. These are also much safer locations to land at the time of writing, as most players are still focused on the new, named POIs.

The reason that the Rapid-Fire SMG is so rare is because of the lack of phone booths in most of these places. You need to down a henchman and carry him over to one of these boxes, which can be difficult to remember if you’re looking for the gun.
