Tons of speculation across the internet popped up after a flare gun was shown in a cinematic during the recent Fortnite pro-am. The cinematic shows the fan-favorite character Jonesy struggling to survive on a deserted island. He sees the battle bus flying overheard and tries to shoot a flare gun to get the driver's attention but ends up shooting the whole bus down instead.
He ends up with a victory royale for taking out every other player on the bus, so it's not a complete loss.
Many fans questioned what purpose a Flare Gun could have, citing that it wouldn't be any use in combat. However, PUBG added a flare gun that summons a personal supply drop to whoever fires it. It's a rare item that adds an interesting twist to the game. It could work well in Fortnite and add some flavor to the long stretches in the middle of a match that can be a tad boring.
Fortnite gets new weapons all the time, including the recent Shadow Bomb and Storm Flip, so it's not unlikely that we'll see a Flare Gun at some point. It might not be anytime soon, though.
