Once again, another iconic weapon has returned to Fortnite, which is the Flare Gun. Flare Gun doesn’t deal any damage but shooting it in the air will mark any opponent in the surrounding area. If you are wondering how to get your hand on one, then here is the guide on where to find the Flare Gun in Fortnite.

Where to Find the Flare Gun in Fortnite

The perk of marking the enemy in the surrounding area is excellent for ambushing an enemy squad or simply trying to know where the enemies might attack. Using this weapon properly can be life-saving and key to winning the match.

Flare Gun is part of Fortnite’s general loot. This means the only way to get your hands on one is to search as many chests and supply drops as possible or get lucky to find one lying on the ground. NPCs and Vending Machines don’t sell Flare Guns as well. Your chance of getting the Flare Gun would be higher if you search locations like The Daily Bugle or Chonker’s Speedway.

The good news is that Flare Gun is not an Exotic or Mythic weapon, which means your chances of finding one in the game are much higher. As part of the new season, you might find a Fireworks Flare Gun, which does exactly what a standard Flare Gun would do, but with some beautiful fireworks. You can also burn things with this gun too.

The thing you should bear in mind is not to waste your ammo because you don’t have many shots. So it is best to use it in situations where you know the enemy is nearby but don’t know where they are exactly.

Fortnite is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
