The Burst Quad Launcher, an exotic weapon first introduced in Chapter 2 Season 5, has returned to Fortnite with the arrival of Godzilla on January 17, 2025.
This launcher packs quite a punch, firing two rockets while only consuming one ammo, making it a powerful choice for taking down structures and forcing opponents out of cover.
In this guide, you’ll learn everything about getting and using the Burst Quad Launcher in Fortnite.
Getting your hands on the Burst Quad Launcher requires dealing the most damage to Godzilla during a match. Once Godzilla is defeated, you’ll receive both the launcher and the Godzilla Medallion as rewards.
Currently, this is the only way to obtain this exotic weapon, as it cannot be found in regular chests or floor loot. Keep in mind that if you want to acquire the launcher without fighting Godzilla yourself, you can track down the player who has the Godzilla Medallion, as their position will be marked on the map.
The Burst Quad Launcher sets itself apart from standard rocket launchers through its unique firing mechanism. Each trigger pull launches two rockets while only using one rocket ammo, effectively doubling your firepower. The rockets follow a distinctive zig-zag pattern and are affected by gravity, requiring you to adjust your aim based on distance.
For maximum effectiveness, position yourself on higher ground when using the launcher. The weapon excels at destroying opponent structures and creating pressure, particularly in mid-range encounters. When targeting enemies behind cover, the dual rockets can quickly force them to relocate or waste materials rebuilding their defenses.
Maintaining medium distance from targets gives you the best balance between accuracy and safety. The launcher’s unique projectile behavior makes it less reliable at extreme ranges, though the lack of damage falloff means you can still deal full damage at any distance if you connect your shots.
When facing opponents in build battles, focus on destroying their foundation rather than directly targeting them. The dual rockets excel at demolishing structures, and the zigzagging pattern can catch enemies off guard even if they attempt to rebuild.

The Burst Quad Launcher truly shines when used to create pressure and control space on the battlefield. While its damage output is significant, the weapon’s greatest strength lies in its ability to force opponents into uncomfortable positions and dictate the flow of engagements.
