With the release of Fortnitemares 2024, players have an arsenal of weapons to try out for their loadouts, but one of the more costly and deadly of them is the dreaded Pumpkin Launcher, which launches at players with explosive intent and can be found through specific ways.

Where to Get the Pumpkin Launcher in Fortnite

There are two ways to obtain the Legendary Pumpkin Launcher in Fortnite:

Defeat Ultima Carver in Brawler's Patch (Where Brawler's Battleground used to be). Ultima Carver is a boss fight found in Brawler's Patch, and it's not going to be easy, since many other players might attempt to defeat this boss. Ultima Carver has over 500 health and utilises the Woodstake Shotgun.

The second way to obtain the Pumpkin Launcher is by purchasing it from the Pumpkin King located at Restored Reels, but be warned, this comes at a costly 800 Gold Bars.

How to Use the Pumpkin Launcher in Fortnite

Explosive Weapon: Fires long-range rockets that damage enemies in an area.

Damage	130
Fire Rate	0.75
Magazine Size	1
Reload Time	2.52

The Pumpkin Launcher can create mass devastation thanks to the fact that it fires a rocket projectile that deals 130 damage to enemies. The Pumpkin Launcher might be a tad burdensome due to its low ammo count and the rarity of explosives in the game since the Pumpkin Launcher is the only thing that uses them. The weapon also struggles from a slow projectile fire speed and a slow reload time, so while the damage is nice, it might struggle against some of the best weapons.
