The latest v29.10 patch has expanded the game’s content further, bringing Banana of the Gods, Mythic Midas Drum Gun, and even a collaboration with Avatar to bring Waterbending Mythic to the game. With the update, an exciting weapon has also returned to the Battle Royale: Hand Cannon. Also known as ‘Deagle,’ the weapon first appeared in Season 3 and has been finally unvaulted once again. In this guide, we’ll reveal how you can find the Hand Cannon in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2.
How to Find a Hand Cannon in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?
The Hand Cannon can be found as regular floor loot or within chests. This powerful weapon can be located inside Weapon Bunkers. The Hand Cannon’s locations are spread out all across the island as part of the normal loot pool, and it can be found in three different rarities: Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The best way to get Hand Cannon would be to land from Battle Bus at any of the main POIs on the map that are full of chests.
How Can You Use the Hand Cannon in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?
The fan-favorite Hand Cannon packs quite a punch, with high damage, allowing players to eliminate opponents with two shots, including a single headshot from any distance. Here are all the stats of Deagle in Fortnite -

The Deagle in Fortnite is basically a sniper in pistol form. You can try for a headshot on your opponent and quickly change to another weapon to finish off your opponent. The weapon’s fire rate is incredibly slow, so switching to another weapon after you land a hit is essential.
You can also mod the Hand Cannon inside the Weapon Bunkers. The gun can be given a 4x scope and used as a sniper. With its 1.8x critical hit damage, a single headshot can deal between 153 and 169 damage. If your opponent doesn’t have a shield, they’ll instantly die.
That’s everything you need to know about finding the Hand Cannon in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2. For more guides, check out how to find Banana of the Gods in Fortnite.
