What’s New in Fortnite Season 8
Pirate Cannon
The Pirate Cannon is a new addition to the arsenal that players can use in Fortnite Season 8. Found throughout the map, just like any other weapon, it provides a rather explosive long range solution to problems.
Although you can’t quite put it in your pocket, it can be pushed into position, to face whatever needs blowing up. The cool thing about it is that, while it can fire the traditional cannonballs, players can also jump in and use themselves as a projectile. Travel long distances and blow things up when you arrive? Hard to pass on such an opportunity.
Whether it’s a cannonball or player, the projectile from the new Fortnite Season 8 Pirate Cannon plows through a number of objects before exploding, dealing 100 damage on direct impact and 50 damage in a small radius around it.
