Brutus’ Minigun returns to Fortnite, offering high damage and infinite magazine capacity. Players can acquire it by using an Outlaw Keycard at the Backwoods Black Market and purchasing it from an NPC for Dill Bits. Ideal for build destruction and close-quarters combat, but less effective in fast-paced duels.

Fortnite continues to roll out exciting content, and among the standout additions is the return of Brutus’ Minigun - a high-powered Mythic weapon known for its sheer firepower. Here's a detailed look at how players can secure this deadly asset and when it’s best used in battle.

What makes Brutus’ Minigun so powerful?

Originally introduced in Chapter 2, Brutus’ Minigun is a Mythic-grade weapon with overwhelming DPS (damage per second) and infinite magazine capacity, making it one of the most fearsome weapons in Fortnite.

DPS: 252
Damage per shot: 21
Fire rate: 12 shots per second
Reload time: 4.5 seconds
Ammo type: Light Bullets
Structure damage: 33
Magazine size: Infinite

Unlike traditional Miniguns, Brutus’ version has a faster spin-up time, allowing players to start firing sooner. It also works as a hitscan weapon, meaning bullets hit instantly with no travel time - a huge advantage in close-quarter battles.

Steps to get Brutus’ Minigun

Where to find Brutus Minigun Location in Fortnite! (How to Get Brutus Minigun Location)

Start by Getting an Outlaw Keycard:

Begin by acquiring at least a Common Outlaw Keycard. These are unlocked through community quests or by playing standard Battle Royale matches.

Head to the Backwoods Black Market:

Make your way to the Backwoods Black Market, located near the Magic Mosses POI on the Chapter 6 map.

Access the Backrooms:

Use your Outlaw Keycard to unlock the secret backroom inside the Black Market.

Purchase With Dill Bits:

Locate the Brutus NPC in the backroom and purchase the Minigun for just 1 Dill Bit — Fortnite’s limited-match currency. Dill Bits can be earned by:

Completing Vault Heists (e.g. Lonewolf Lair).
Opening Outlaw Chests using an Uncommon or higher Outlaw Keycard.

Brutus' Minigun is excellent for destroying builds, pinning down enemies, or causing chaos in Vault Heists. However, its lack of precision, high ammo consumption, and slower draw time make it less effective in competitive or high-mobility fights.
It’s best paired with a long-range or precision weapon to balance its limitations. Be prepared with extra Light Bullets and avoid relying on it in fast-paced solo duels.
If you're looking for raw power and relentless fire, Brutus’ Minigun is a must-try this season. While it may not dominate the current meta, it offers a nostalgic and satisfying option for players who love heavy artillery. Grab a Dill Bit, unlock that Black Market vault, and let the bullets fly!
