How to get firefly jar in Fortnite and how to use it to deal damage to your opponents?

Epic Games released its much-anticipated Fortnite Season 3 last week which introduced fans to an all-new Battle Pass, a bunch of new content including loot sharks, and a few leaks surrounding items and weapons that will soon be added to the battle royale game.

While the game servers were still under maintenance, there were also some leaks from data-miners suggesting the inclusion of files containing a new set of skins. This included a brand new item called the firefly jar. The new files also suggested that developers will be bringing some content updates before their next big Fortnite update, similar to what was seen during Fortnite Chapter 2 to keep things fresh and entertaining.

Where to find fireflies in Fortnite?

Fireflies will usually appear on the map during a night cycle, so you won't find them in the day. You will mostly find them near the woods or trees. However, one of the best places to find a firefly is around campfire locations. Once they spawn on the location, you will see a bunch of them circling around in a small area. You need to approach them and press the collect button to capture them in your jar. One of the best parts is that the fireflies aren’t really scared of you, so won’t have to sneak up on them.

Data miners had leaked this new item from the Fortnite v13.00 update. As usual, Epic Games hasn't released the patch notes for the new update, but users will have to download the patch file which developers have called a Fortnite maintenance patch update.
