Fishing in Fortnite is a relaxing activity for loopers. It's a good way to stretch the legs and take in the sights and sounds of the game. In addition to being relaxing, fishing is also a great way to acquire special power ups and healing items in-game.

However, every now and then, a looper will come across a weapon while fishing, and although it makes no sense as to how it got there in the first place, some weapons found in this way are rather useful.

The enimagic Fortnite NPC, known as Guggimon, has taken note of this strange phenomenon and wants loopers to investigate further by catching a gun while fishing. It's unclear how the weapons got there, and the mystery has remained unsolved for far too long.

Best fishing hole locations in Fortnite Season 7

It goes without saying that the best place to catch fish is at Lazy Lake; however, given that the location is rather popular in nature, players may not be able to fish in peace.

Adding to the fact that fishing for guns takes longer, this may make the challenge rather difficult to complete. Having said that, here are some quiet fishing hole locations for players to try out and complete the challenge:

  • Shanty Town (East of Slurpy Swamp)
  • Lumber Lodge (South of Misty Meadows)
  • Camp Cod
  • Shipwreck Cove (Northeast of Catty Corner)
  • Bob's Bluff (Northeast of Steamy Stacks)
  • Unremarkable Shack (East of Craggy Cliffs)
  • Rainbow Rentals (Southwest of Holly Hatchery)
