Fortnite Chug Cannon: Everything You Need to Know
By Jack O'Dwyer
The Chug Cannon is one of the three exotic weapons heading to Fortnite in v15.30.
Epic Games has released v15.30 to its Fortnite player base this Tuesday, Feb. 2. The update comes with several new items to enjoy, including a Mandolorian-inspired limited-time mode, new cosmetic items, and three exotic weapons. The Chug Cannon is one such weapon that serves a rather perplexing role on the battlefield.
Here's everything to know about the Chug Cannon before players drop into the map.
Here's the job: land on the Island, eliminate your target, collect your credits and get out. But watch out, The Mandalorian has his eye on you.

Fortnite Chug Cannon Details
Previously nicknamed the "Slurp Cannon" while in development, the Chug Cannon primarily functions as a healing blaster to provide a much-appreciated boost to teammates. It heals 18 points of damage to the user and target per crossbow bolt hit and reloads in just over a second.
Players can pick up the Chug Cannon from Remedy—a fitting NPC to be giving it out. Similar to her location during the secret Predator challenges, Remedy will be hanging out just northeast of Pleasant Park or near the edge of Craggy Cliffs. She'll hand it over for a one-time cost of 600 gold bars.
We've taken the liberty to outline more of the biggest changes coming to Fortnite in update v15.30.
