- — In-Game Description
The Firework Flare Gun is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 3: Season 3.
Functionality[]
Firework Flare Gun functions identically to the Flare Gun, in that it is primarily used for spotting opponents and marking them, much like a Shakedown. When fired, if it stays in the air long enough, it will mark all opponents in a 50m radius for 60 seconds. It can mark opponents in hiding places.
The Firework Flare Gun's projectile deals explosive damage on impact to all players in the vicinity. If the Firework Flare Gun is fired at a wooden structure, it will set it alight.
The Firework Flare Gun is a projectile weapon, with the First Shot Accuracy enabled. There is no damage falloff on the Firework Flare Guns projectiles, but it is affected by gravity. It uses 
Fire Ammo, which cannot be obtained outside of the weapon's reserve and it has no headshot multiplier. When all 6 charges of the weapon have been depleted, the item will disappear from the player's inventory.

Strategy Guide[]
- The Firework Flare Gun is ideal for the beginning of a fight, as firing it into the air will mark the opponents for a full minute, allowing you to track exactly where they are.
- Aside from the Dragon's Breath Sniper Rifle and the Primal Flame Bow, the Firework Flare Gun (alongside its regular version) is the only other method of setting a structure alight from a decent range, as all other methods require a Firefly Jar or the Dragon's Breath Shotgun (aside from the sheer chance a Gas Can is nearby).
Item ID[]
The Firework Flare Gun is referred to as Firework Gun in the files.
