Where to find Pumpkin Launcher location in Fortnite explained
The easiest way to find a Pumpkin Launcher during the Fortmitemares event is to head to locations with a lot of chests and floor loot, as this is the only method to getting a Pumpkin Launcher.
Tilted Towers is always a good source for loot, but is a very popular landing spot, so be careful here. We prefer landing at places like Lustrous Lagoon and Rave Cave when searching for a Pumpkin Launcher, as it has a lot of loot, and a lot of places to shield yourself from other people.
Pumpkin Launchers take rockets as ammunition, so be sure to check ammo boxes as well as chests if searching for more ammo.
Although less reliable - and a lot more risky - you can also eliminate a player with a Pumpkin Launcher to get one.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! We’ve also got a present list for Winterfest and Cozy Lodge and pizza slice locations.
Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character locations and earn a Victory Crown.
Before attempting this, however, you may want to gather some additional ammo for your Pumpkin Launcher to ensure you finish the job. As mentioned, this weapon is a type of rocket launcher, so it may take some time to find the right ammunition, but it’s worth doing if you want to easily complete any quest that asks you to use a Pumpkin Launcher.
There’s also different rarities of Pumpkin Launcher, so an Epic purple one is going to cause more damage than a blue Rare Pumpkin Launcher.
If eliminating someone for a quest, when you find an opponent you’ll want to ensure you hit them first with the Pumpkin Launcher, because, depending on their health and shield level, this might easily kill them.
If they are properly prepared for a fight, consider, depending on how much Pumpkin Launcher ammunition you have, using another weapon to whittle down their shield before launching your final attack.
The Pumpkin Launcher is a powerful weapon, so, as long as your aim is true, your opponent will be quickly eliminated.
