- — In-Game Description
The Guided Missile is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Season 3.
Functionality[]
The Guided Missile is a unique firing weapon, in that when it was fired, control was taken away from your player and given to the rocket itself, hence the name. The missile is then guided to its target by player control, which can be moved in any direction, but always moving forward. The rocket will explode after a number of seconds, indicated by a bar across the screen. Like the Rocket Launcher, the rocket can hurt the player who shot it, alongside enemies. Rockets deal more damage to structures than to players,
The Guided Missile is a Slow Moving Projectile Weapon. The Projectile is controlled by the player, and can be slowly maneuvered before exploding.
There is damage falloff on the Guided Missile's projectiles.
