- — In-Game Description
The Guided Missile is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Season 3.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Guided Missile is a unique firing weapon, in that when it is fired, control is taken away from the player and given to the rocket itself, hence the name. The missile is then guided to its target by player control, which can be moved in any direction, but always moving forward. The rocket will explode after a number of seconds, indicated by a bar across the screen. Like the Rocket Launcher, its rocket can also damage the player who fired it if they are within the explosion radius. The rockets deal more damage to structures than to players.
The Guided Missile is a Slow Moving Projectile Weapon. The Projectile is controlled by the player, and can be slowly maneuvered before exploding.
There is no damage falloff on the Guided Missile's projectiles.

Trivia
Trivia[]
