Players can find the item in normal looting areas on the island. Players might come across a flare gun on the floor of a building, found in a chest in the attic of a house, or in a supply drop. These methods are how most of the players get the majority of their loot. However, there’s always a chance that an eliminated player might drop a flare gun if they already have one in their inventory.

Players should ensure that there is space for it in their item/weapon bar, as the flare gun is going to be extremely useful in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1. Some players have already shown that to be true. As a utility item, the flare gun can be shot in the air to give away positioning and mark any players that are seen for up to one minute. This can be a good way to start a fight or a third-party engagement.

Moreover, the flare gun can also come in handy as a weapon. The flare gun will damage players when it makes contact and will also set fire to the environment and any wooden structures in the vicinity.
