It\u2019s called the Plasma Cannon, and it looks like it could be a game-changer in the right (or wrong) hands. When the alien-themed Fortnite Season 7 arrived, it introduced some powerful new IO tech weapons like the one-shot Rail Gun and the Recon Scanner, as well as the alien Kymera Ray Gun with unlimited ammo. It\u2019s been a while since fans have seen a new weapon added to the game, but in the latest v17.21 mini-update Epic Games have introduced something very exciting to the loot pool: the Plasma Cannon! This powerful weapon is capable of tearing down buildings and structures with ease, so players will be rushing to get their hands on it \u2013 and we\u2019ve put together a guide to help you do just that. How to get the Plasma Cannon in Fortnite There are actually two ways to get the Plasma Cannon right now. Firstly, it can be found in IO Chests which are located at IO Bases across the map. These are marked by satellite dishes with bright red lights on them. The second option is to craft a Plasma Cannon, which might be a little more difficult. First, you\u2019ll need to get your hands on a Legendary Pistol and one Alien Nanite. Then, enter the crafting menu and merge them together. Once you\u2019ve got a Plasma Cannon in hand, the real fun begins. The weapon launches a slow-moving energy ball that damages anything in its path (including players) and destroys buildings, causing mayhem as it goes. Is the Plasma Cannon any good in Fortnite? We\u2019ll have to wait and see how well the Plasma Cannon performs in actual matches, but for now, it seems as though it could be a pretty powerful asset to have in your inventory. It might even be overpowered. The energy balls it fires only deal 33 damage to players, but they deal 550 damage to builds which makes it a beast for taking down structures. These balls also move around slowly, so the potential for destruction is pretty high.
