Fortnite: How to Use the New Flare Gun (& Where to Find it)
The Flare Gun is a new weapon introduced in Fortnite. This guide will help players locate it and explain how it works. Fortnite season 3 is full of new content for battle pass owners to enjoy. From new skins to unlock new challenges and an entirely new looking map, the season is full of several new objectives for players. Parts of the map is entirely underwater. This map specializes in boats, deep-sea diving, and riding surf sharks. Aquaman from the DC comics even makes an appearance as an optional skin with his own set of challenges to complete. Here's how players can find the Flare Gun and explain what it does and how it works.
The Flare Gun is one of many new weapons in the game. Fortnite throws 100 players onto a battlefield where they must defeat one another until only one player or team is left standing. Players can hunt, build, swim, run, and hide to survive in the ever-shrinking arena. The game is still massively popular since its release as the game has continued to evolve with new content for players to enjoy. The game treats each event to a theatrical level, promoting when they happen and making sure to include many players as possible. Here's how players can get a Flare Gun in Fortnite and explain how it works.
The Flare Gun can be found inside of the normal treasure chest. Players can find treasure chests inside houses and in higher locations. Players will have to just listen for an angelic chime and follow the sound. The Flare Gun does what a normal Flare Gun does. Players can aim it into the air to signal their location for enemies and teammates. Also, if players shoot it directly at another player, it will do 60 damage. It takes about a second and a half to reload before it can be shot again.
The Flare Gun is a thematic item that matches the tropical island vibe Fortnite season 3 is aiming for. The map will likely change again when the next season begins. Also, players will only be able to secure special skins from this battle pass until the end of the season. Once the season is over, players will no longer be able to unlock these items. This is a powerful incentive to keep players returning back to the game. Players can also unlock V bucks by playing the game enough. They can collect so many V bucks, they won't have to spend real money on the next battle pass when it releases.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and Mobile.
