The Flare Gun is a limited-time item in Fortnite that can be found in several ways and in this guide, we will explain how you can get your hands on it. The weapon is mainly used for spotting enemies and marking them and it will even reveal the opponents who are hiding. Apart from this, its projectile deals explosive damage on impact so it can be used as an actual gun if someone tries to jump you while doing the challenge.
