The Proximity Grenade Launcher is a high-tech grenade launcher that contains two Rockets. This weapon has a scope like a sniper, and when you shoot towards the enemy, the bombs you drop will follow and lock onto the enemy. So it’s a grenade launcher that follows its target. The Proximity Grenade Launcher comes in Epic and Legendary versions. Epic deals 67 damage while the Legendary version deals 70 damage.

In Fortnite OG, the Proximity Grenade Launcher is only available in Supply Drop and Chests; you can’t find one as Floor Loot. Of course, if the enemy you kill has one, killing them is another useful way to get it.

This weapon should be used with extreme caution as it only holds 2 Rockets in Fortnite OG. You should also never use this weapon as a Shotgun, as it has a very large radius and can cause a lot of damage. If an enemy is hiding behind cover, you can aim and fire in the direction of where they are hiding to draw them out. If the target is not too far away, it will follow them to blow up.

The Proximity Grenade Launcher is also a very useful weapon for harassing Sniper players; you can deal damage to Snipers waiting for you to peek out. Do not engage in a fight with this weapon when there is no cover in front of you, as you will not be able to kill your enemy with just two rocket rounds, and you are extremely likely to die while changing weaponry.

So that wraps up where to find the Proximity Grenade Launcher and how to use it in Fortnite. Stay safe out there!
