- — In-Game Description
The Bandage Bazooka is a Ranged Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 1.
It has 2 Exotic versions. The Chug Cannon and Juice's Chug Cannon.
Functionality[]
The Bandage Bazooka is unique in that it is a weapon used to heal squad members and yourself, rather than damage enemies. Firing the Bandage Bazooka at a friendly player or yourself will heal them for a small amount of Health. The weapon uses a soft-aimbot feature, allowing easier targeting on players.
If you do not hit a friendly player, it will produce a Bandage. You cannot heal opponents and will produce a Bandage if attempted to fire at an opponent.
The Bandage Bazooka does not use ammo pickups, instead it will regenerate ammo passively when in the players inventory. It also takes up two slots in the player's inventory, as opposed to the normal one slot. It will not replenish ammo unless it is in a player's inventory.
The Bandage Bazooka is a Slow Moving Projectile Weapon, which also has an aim locking feature to enable easier targeting of shots.

| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Bandage Bazooka is very useful for helping a Teammate during a fight, as it can be used to heal them from a distance if they are being attacked.
- The Bandage Bazooka can be used to prolong a downed teammate's knocked state, as it will heal them in Health.
- The Bandage Bazooka can be used in conjuction with other items that restore Heath, such as Floppers or Slurp Juice, to outheal to storm. Note that you cannot do this forever due to Storm Sickness.
- Firing shots at the ground when full on health will drop a Bandage. Using this repeatedly can create plenty of Bandages for teammates to carry if no other healing options are available.
- Taking the Bandage Bazooka requires that you give up two slots, meaning that you have to decide whether taking the Bandage Bazooka is better than carrying two other items.
