Still, we have noticed some interesting things about how the crossbow spawns, which might help you find it.
Firstly the Cupid’s Crossbow is an Epic level weapon, so it will have a purple glow, which means that it stands out easily in the Fortnite landscape. You might even be able to spot one as you glide down from the bus.
Secondly, and obviously, the cross is more likely to spawn within named locations, especially ones which tend to hold a higher quantity of loot, such as Colossal Coliseum.
Land at one of these locations and have a quick scout around - if you’re lucky, you’ll have to find a Cupid’s Crossbow early on in the match.
The final way to find a Cupid’s Crossbow, of course, is to kill a player who has one in their inventory.

It appears that the Cupid’s Crossbow can deal between 50 to 70 damage depending on your aim.
The Cupid’s Crossbow even has a sniper rifle styled scope to help you pick off far away foes.
