Pumpkin Launcher

Pumpkin Launcher is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in the Pre-Season. 
Pumpkin Launcher is the seasonal version of the Rocket Launcher.
== Functionality ==
Pumpkin Launcher shoots out a single large, slow-moving projectile. When this projectile comes in contact with a surface, or stays in the air long enough, it detonates, dealing high amounts of explosive damage. It damages the player who shot it if they're too close, alongside enemies. Rockets deal more damage to structures than they do to players, but it is impossible to land headshots with this weapon. Rockets are not affected by gravity, and won't drop if they go too far.

Pumpkin Launcher is a slow-moving projectile weapon. It has First Shot Accuracy enabled, but as it is a Rocket Launcher, it is largely irrelevant. There is no damage falloff on the Rocket Launcher's projectiles.
The Rocket Launcher can reload whilst being aimed.

== Strategy Guide ==
* You can shoot a Rocket under a player and allow them to ride it. This can be used to quickly transport a player to an area, such as out of the Storm.
* Keep your distance from an enemy when shooting a rocket, if you go too close, the rocket may also eliminate you along with the enemy player.
* Players can grapple onto a rocket (Creative doesn't seem to let you do it, but attempting to do so in the BR map in Creative was possible).
== Weapon ID ==
Pumpkin Launcher is referred to as Launcher Pumpkin the files.

== Trivia ==
*The ability to ride a rocket is a glitch that Epic Games decided to not remove.
*When two rockets are shot at each other, one rocket will be destroyed and the other rocket will continue its path. There appears to be no pattern that controls which rocket is destroyed.
*Firing a Grappler at a rocket will grapple the player onto it and allow them to ride it for a short amount of time.
**The same applies with Spider-Man's Web Shooters, except they can be permanently held onto.
