The Flare Gun is back in Fortnite! We'll show you how the item works and where to find it.
It's been a long time, but it's finally coming back! What are we talking about? The Flare Gun, of course! This is a super popular item that reappears in the game every few seasons.
How To Use The Flare Gun In Fortnite
If you haven't had the pleasure of playing with or against this OP item, then we'd be happy to explain what the Flare Gun can do.
It launches a projectile into the air that, if left airborne long enough, marks all enemies within a 50m radius for 60 seconds. It can also mark opponents in hideouts. That's what makes this item so overpowered. If players are tagged, you can even see them through walls. So you basically have a wallhack. And it gets even better.
The flare gun's projectile deals explosive damage to all nearby players on impact. If the pistol is fired at a wooden structure, it will set it on fire and the fire will spread.

When all 6 charges of the weapon are used, the item will disappear from your inventory. Unlike a harpoon, for example, the pistol must be reloaded between shots.
The only difference from the regular Flare Gun is that, as the name suggests, the Flare Gun shoots fireworks into the air. It doesn't have any additional features, but at least it's nice to look at.
Where To Find The Flare Gun
The Flare Gun is currently part of the normal loot pool. This means players can find them anywhere rarer loot can be found. Basically it can be anywhere, in boxes, on the ground, or in loot drops.
The quickest way to find something is to search in large POIs like Mega City, Brutal Bastion, Frenzy Fields or Creeky Compound. In all of these locations, you have a wide variety of loot to choose from.
