- — In-Game Description
Chug Cannon is a Consumable in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 2: Season 5.
The Chug Cannon is an Exotic version of the Bandage Bazooka.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Chug Cannon functions almost identically to the Bandage Bazooka. Firing the Chug Cannon will heal anyone inside a small radius for
+15 Effective Health. The weapon uses a soft-aimbot feature, allowing easier targeting on players. It can also heal opponents.
The Chug Cannon does not use ammo pickups, instead it will regenerate ammo passively when in the players inventory. It also takes up two slots in the player's inventory, as opposed to the normal one slot. It will not replenish ammo unless it is in a player's inventory.
The Chug Cannon is a Slow Moving Projectile Weapon, which also has an aim locking feature to enable easier targeting of shots.

Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Chug Cannon is very useful for helping a Teammate during a fight, as it can be used to heal them from a distance if they are being attacked.
- The Chug Cannon can be used to prolong a downed teammate's knocked state, as it can heal them in Health.
- The Chug Cannon can be used in conjuction with other healing items, such as Floppers or Slurp Juice, to outheal to storm. Note that you cannot do this forever due to Storm Sickness.
- Taking the Chug Cannon requires that you give up two slots, meaning that you have to decide whether taking the Chug Cannon is better than carrying two other items.
- The Chug Cannon can be used to heal hired Characters.
- Just like Chug Splashes, the Chug Cannon can be used to put out fires.
- It's arguably more useful for this given that its charges will regenerate over time.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- This is the second item to take up two slots in your inventory, only because it behaves almost exactly like the Bandage Bazooka in function.
- The weapon fires cans of Chug Splash, instead of bandages.
- Unlike the Bandage Bazooka, it will not produce any items when a shot is missed.
- Also unlike the Bandage Bazooka, it can heal opponents due to the nature of the splash.
- In the replay client, it shows as two Chug Cannons with 10 shots each. The same goes for the Bandage Bazooka.
- If the player has the Chug Cannon in their inventory, has a stack of items near the overflow count, and then picks up another stack to add to the original and flow into a new slot, the stack of items will disappear and the Chug Cannon will delete an inventory slot for the rest of the match.
- Furthermore, if the player has an item slot preference for the Chug Cannon to be put last, it will kick any items out of the inventory which are placed in that slot, rather than moving them. For example, if a player has a Grenade in their final slot, and picks up a Chug Cannon with the heal preference, they will drop the grenades instead of them being moved, even if a slot was available.
- In an unknown update, the Chug Cannon was changed from a Ranged Weapon to a Consumable.
