With the release ofFortnite’s June 28 hotfix, players were given access to a special new weapon: the Firework Flare Gun. Each projectile that this gun fires explodes into a variety of colors, and they have the ability to set flammable objects in their vicinity ablaze. For those players that would like to have the ability to create a firework display while they are on the move, this guide details where to find the Firework Flare Gun inFortnite.
Fortnite: Firework Flare Gun Locations
Fortnite’s Firework Flare Gun has three different sources:the ground, chests, and supply dropsinnoncompetitive game modes. This means that there is no single location that players can visit to earn a guaranteed Firework Flare Gun, though they can increase their chances of finding the weapon by targeting areas with an abundance of floor loot and chests. Risky Reels and Tilted Towers are two locations that fulfill that criteria, and it is recommended thatbattle royalefans start their searches there.

To note, the Firework Flare Gun is a Rare quality item. As such, it may take players a considerable amount of time to find the gun, even if they focus their searches on the aforementioned locations. The effect associated with firing thisFortniteweaponis quite impressive, though, and fans may feel that all of their efforts were worthwhile when they are finally watching its projectile’s burst into colorful explosions.
The Firework Flare Gun is not the only thing that players will find inFortnite’s June 28 update, as the patch also marked the beginning of Ripersaw Launcher Week. This event is intended to celebrate the Ripersaw Launcher, an item that was added to the game on June 21, and it makes the weapon easier to obtain until July 5. Indeed, it is possible to find the Launcher on the ground, in chests, and in supply drops until that date, and fans may come across it as they search for a Flare Gun.
The Chop Shop, a landmark at the north edge of the map, also acts a guaranteed source for theRipersaw Launcher inFortnite. This will continue to be true even when Ripersaw Launcher Week comes to a conclusion. Players that are looking for the weapon, which is useful for bringing down structures quickly and can even be used for harvesting, after July 5 are thus advised to turn their attention to that location.
Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
