Flare Gun in Fortnite Season 6

The Flare Gun was first introduced during Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3, along with the release of update 13.20. However, Epic Games was quick to lock the weapon in the vault with the release of Season 4 along with the 14.00 update. Having said that, the Flare Gun is making a return to the battle royale after more than two entire seasons.

Needless to say, the utilities presented by the Flare Gun in Fortnite are hard to match. Apart from being able to set structures on fire, the Flare Gun can also be used to mark the locations of all enemies present in a specific radius, continuously tracking them for an entire minute.
