The Hand Cannon was originally added to Fortnite back in Chapter 1 Season 3, and it has been in the game on and off since then. For players wondering how they can get the Hand Cannon in the game, here is what they need to know.

Where To Find Hand Cannon In Fortnite (Deagle Location)

The Hand Cannon is found in three rarities: Rare, Epic, and Legendary. However, the only catch with the weapon is that there is no guaranteed way of getting the gun. The Hand Cannon can be found as floor loot or in any chest container. To increase their chances of finding it, gamers should visit loot-riddled locations. That being said, it doesn't mean that players should confine themselves to these locations only as these are only mere recommendations based on how much loot spawns in those areas.

The more loot that is available in the given area, the better the chances are considering that the drop of Hand Cannon is pretty much random, so a sure-shot way of getting doesn't exist. Additionally, players should also look in Weapon Bunkers as tons of Rare Chests spawn in these locations.

Hand Cannon Stats

Just like before, the Hand Cannon has impressive stats. It deals between 85 and 94 damage depending on its rarity, and it has a 1.8x critical multiplier, which means if gamers hit a headshot, they'll do between 153 and 169 damage. This small pistol can inflict some serious damage, which is why it requires Heavy Bullets.

The Hand Cannon is one of those weapons that can turn the tide of the battle with a high damage output, knocking enemies out in just a couple of hits. Players can get it to a Weapon Bunker and modify it using the Mod Bench to improve its stats further.
