In the latest update 15.30 for Fortnite three new exotic weapons were introduced: the Burst Quad Launcher, the Chug Cannon, and the Frozen SMG. MeinMMO reveals what the weapons can do and where to find them.
What are these weapons? The three new exotic weapons are one of the most important changes in the latest update 15.30 from February 2, 2021 in Fortnite. The weapons are:
- the Burst Quad Launcher, a powerful but slow rocket launcher
- the Chug Cannon, which allows you to heal yourself and friends
- the Frozen SMG, a submachine gun that is not yet available in the game
In our German patch notes, we reveal to you what else is included in update 15.30. Among other things, a limited-time Mandalorian mode is coming.
Tip: All weapons require gold bars. In our guide, you’ll learn how to quickly and easily collect gold bars in Fortnite. We will tell you here how to get the new guns in every match.
Burst Quad Launcher in Fortnite
This is what the launcher can do: The rocket launcher holds four rockets in its magazine, which you can fire with it. The Quad Launcher fires two rockets in quick succession per shot.
With 42 damage to players, it hits hard, but takes a long 5.4 seconds to reload. Use it best to start a fight or break structures, and then switch to faster weapons for the encounter.
Where can I find it? To get the Quad Launcher, you need to talk to the NPC Fishstick and buy the rocket launcher from him. The weapon costs 600 gold bars. So make sure to have the required amount in your inventory beforehand. Fishstick can spawn in two locations on the map:
- at Craggy Cliffs Hotel
- or in Choral Castle
If you have no luck at the first location, you’ll need to head to the second. Fortunately, they are quite close to each other. Look for Fishstick there and talk to him. Select the option for the rocket launcher, confirm the selection, and you’ll hold the Burst Quad Launcher in your hands.
Chug Cannon in Fortnite
This is what the cannon can do: The Chug Cannon works similarly to the Bandage Bazooka from Chapter 2 of Fortnite. With it, you can shoot friends or yourself to heal for 18 hit points. The weapon does not consume regular ammunition (it can automatically recharge after a cooldown) and reloads relatively quickly, making it a valuable tool in longer fights, especially in squads.
Where can I find it? The Chug Cannon can be purchased from the NPC healing. Like the Burst Quad Launcher, it also costs 600 gold bars – so bring enough with you. Healing can also spawn in two locations on the map:
- in Craggy Cliffs
- and in Hilltop House
These positions are even closer together than Craggy Cliffs and Choral Castle, so you only need to walk a short distance if you don’t find Healing immediately. Talk to her and choose the option to buy from her to obtain the Chug Cannon.
Frozen SMG in Fortnite
This is what the SMG can do: The Frozen SMG has a damage of 20 per shot, a high rate of fire, and a magazine size of 35, making it a solid option for fighting against players. It uses light ammunition and can be reloaded in 2.1 seconds. If you are somewhat accurate, you should be able to take down one or even multiple opponents with one magazine.
Where can I find it? The submachine gun was found in the game data and came with the patch, but is not yet available in the game. We will add its location here as soon as it becomes available.
Have you already acquired the weapons? Do you find them too strong or too weak, useful or unnecessary? Which one do you like best? Let us know in the comments!
The three weapons expand the list of exotic weapons in Season 5 of Fortnite. If you want to see what else is available, you can find all exotic weapons from Season 5 and their locations here.
