This Hand Cannon will be available in the standard playlists. The best part about this gun is that it has high fire-power and deals large amounts of damage to materials.

Fortnite Update

  • The latest Fortnite update brings a new Limited Time Mode known as The Getaway
    • In this mode, players will race to find a Jewel and take it to a Getaway Van before everyone else to win the match.
  • MODE DETAILS
    • Jewels
    • Jewels can be found in special supply drop safes, located along the edge of the first storm circle. The safes take a long time to open, so make sure the area is clear before attempting to claim a Jewel!
    • Four Jewels will be in play on the map AT ALL TIMES. If a player escapes with a Jewel or one is lost in the storm, a new supply drop will bring a replacement.
    • When a Jewel is picked up, it will be visible on the map to everyone for 30 seconds.
    • Carrying a Jewel will give players health & shields over time, but also slow them down by 10%.
    • Getaway Vans
    • Four TOTAL Getaway Vans will be in the map, three that arrive early in the match and one more that shows up near the end.
    • Getaway Vans float in mid-air, Jewel carriers must build up and then interact with them in order to complete a Getaway.
    • The goal is to find or steal a Jewel and take it to one of the vans in order to secure a Victory Royale.
    • Once they arrive, safe drops and Getaway Vans will be visible on the map at all times.
    • 12 red "Pursuit" Supply Drops land at the very beginning of the match. These carry a variety of longer-range weapons and other items, and are the only way to obtain the new Grappler in this mode.
    • Resource harvesting amounts increased by 50%.
    • Only Rare weapons or higher will be found in this mode.
    • Rifts, Rift-To-Go and Launchpads have been removed to reduce mobility for Getaway Van engagements.
    • Profile Stats (K/D & Wins) are tracked in this mode, but Umbrellas are not awarded for wins.
