As one of the new additions to arrive in Fortnite Season 8, the Fortnite Cannons are definitely in keeping with the general pirate theme currently taking over Fortnite. There are two different ways you can use a Pirate Cannon - either fire out a cannonball to deal damage, or climb into the barrel and launch yourself over great distances - and if you're working on the Fortnite Battle Pass Challenges then you'll need to employ both techniques. For Week 2 you need to deal 100 damage with a Pirate Cannon, which can be achieved with a single direct hit, or several close shots which cause 50 splash damage. Week 4 tasks you to launch yourself through structures with a Pirate Cannon, so get ready to become a human cannonball! We've searched the island to bring you all of the Fortnite Cannon locations, so you can work through both of those challenges and beat them as fast as possible.
Fortnite Cannon locations
We've found 14 Fortnite Cannon locations in total, and we'll update this map if we discover any more. But for now, these 14 locations are a quick way to get started with any cannon challenges.
- East of Junk Junction - On a pirate convoy of trucks
- West of Pleasant Park - Inside the pirate camp between the mountains
- West of Shifty Shafts - Inside the pirate camp in the snowy region
