The Hand Cannon is not a very common weapon in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. You can find it as regular floor loot or within chests all over the island, but the chances are low. You can also find it in supply drops, which are airdropped crates that contain high-tier loot, but these are also rare and contested by other players.
Some of the best places to look for the Hand Cannon are the main named POIs (points of interest) on the map, such as Lazy Lake, Pleasant Park, or Retail Row. These locations have a lot of chests and loot spawns, so you have a higher chance of finding the weapon. You can also try to eliminate other players who might have the Hand Cannon and take it from them.
Fortnite Hand Cannon rarity and stats explained
The Hand Cannon is a pistol-type weapon that fires heavy bullets. The weapon comes in three rarities: Rare (blue), Epic (purple), and Legendary (gold). The higher the rarity, the higher the damage and accuracy of the weapon. It has a base damage of 75, 78, and 80 for the Rare, Epic, and Legendary variants, respectively. It also has a headshot multiplier of 2x, meaning that it can deal 150, 156, and 160 damage to the head.
Although the Hand Cannon is indeed a powerful weapon, it has some disadvantages too. It has a low fire rate of 0.8 shots per second, meaning that you have to wait for a while between each shot. It also has a high recoil, meaning that the weapon will kick back after each shot, making it harder to aim. Finally, it’s small magazine size of 7 bullets requires you to reload frequently.
