Egg Launcher

The Egg Launcher is a seasonal Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, added in Season 3. It is only available during Easter or similar Easter themed Limited Time Events. It is a modified version of the Grenade Launcher.
== Functionality==
The Egg Launcher shoots out an egg projectile which is affected by gravity and sticks to surfaces, but not players. After a short time the egg explodes dealing explosive damage to players and structures. This egg can deal damage to the player who shot it. These eggs deal more damage to structures than they do players, and cannot headshot.
==Stats==
The Egg Launcher ranges from dealing 67 Damage per shot to 77 Damage per shot (67 - 77 Damage per Second). The Egg Launcher uses and cannot headshot players.
The Egg Launcher shoots a Slow Moving Projectile. It has First Shot Accuracy enabled, but as it is an Explosive Weapon, it is largely irrelevant. There is no damage falloff on the Egg Launcher's projectiles, but they will bounce, and stick to surfaces for a short time before exploding.

== Strategy Guide==
*The Egg Launcher is especially useful for taking down structures and can deal significant player damage.
*Be very careful when using the Egg Launcher at close ranges as it's easy to damage yourself with it.
*The Egg Launcher can be especially useful in Zero Build for taking out an opponent's Port-A-Bunker or bush.
*If you have an opponent boxed up without a cone on top, place a cone on it, edit the cone, fire the Egg Launcher into the cone, and then reset the cone. When the egg explodes, pull out a shotgun to deal high damage through the opponent's turbo-building.
* The Egg Launcher is especially useful in a competitive setting for draining the materials of your opponents.
*The Egg Launcher is very useful for dealing with opponents in confined spaces, especially vaults.
*Don't fire the Egg Launcher at an opponent in open space since they can fairly easily walk or sprint out of the blast zone.
*If an opponent is hiding in a building, fire the Egg Launcher into the windows to open it up and destroy their cover.
* If an opponent is actively chasing you, you can fire the Egg Launcher directly downward. As you both move, the explosive egg will detonate on your opponent while you escape the blast radius.
