How to Get Finger Guns in Fortnite

Epic Games just released the Fortnite big head update for Chapter 7 Season 2 with the 40.10 patch. This new update brings exclusive April Fools Day items to spice up the gameplay. Among these new additions are the Finger Guns, a unique dual-wield pistol that lets players blast enemies with just their fingers. If you are looking to try out the new Fortnite Finger Guns in the big head update, here’s everything you need to know.

Where to Find Finger Guns in Fortnite

You can find the Finger Guns pistols through chests, floor loot, and Supply Drops. Since the Finger Guns are not a Mythic item, they are easily available through regular loot sources, just like other Fortnite weapons. The Finger Guns are available in the following rarities:

• Uncommon (Green)
• Rare (Blue)
• Epic (Purple)
• Legendary (Orange)

Since the Finger Guns are essentially invisible weapons, they are signified by the pew pew icons when on the floor, so make sure to check your surroundings when looking for them.

How to Use Fortnite Finger Guns in Big Head Update

The Finger Guns in Fortnite, despite being an April Fools Day update addition, are extremely powerful if used correctly. They feature a burst fire mode and, unlike most other pistols, use medium ammo.

Fire them using your left mouse click or your RT/R2 on your controller, which is your fire button, or kick in ADS using right click or LT/L2. Upon firing, they’ll emit a gunfire animation with Pew Pew comic text around your fingers and a “PEW! PEW! PEW!” sound.

Although Fortnite Finger Guns do not have a scope, the ADS just makes the crosshair narrower for you to aim at the enemy more accurately and fire powerful burst shots, eliminating them in just 5-6 shots. However, it’s not as powerful as The Foundation’s Rift Rifle.

Here are the stats for the Legendary variant of the Finger Guns:

• Damage: 42
• Headshot Damage: 73.5 (1.75x multiplier)
• Structure Damage: 42
• Magazine Size: 18
• Fire Rate: 5
• Reload Time: 1.98 seconds

The Finger Guns function just like the Dual Pistols, only with the added pew-pew sounds to accompany every shot. It is important to remember that, as fun as these new weapons are, they are not a permanent addition to the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 loot pool.

The Fortnite Finger Guns, along with other additions like shoulder riding in the big head update, will be vaulted on April 2, 2026, at 5:30 AM ET, so try them out before they are locked away forever.
