"Never the wrong weapon for the job": Player showcases perfect way to use the Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite

The Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite has been one of the most exciting additions in Chapter 5 Season 3, with Epic Games introducing this powerful harpoon launcher that enables players to dish out damage and also counter cars. Ever since the release, the community has been having a fun time with the Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite, coming up with interesting ways to use the weapon.

This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/IgbarVonSquid, where the player can be seen in a solo Zero Build match in Chapter 5 Season 3, donning the Trench Trawler Outfit. The player spotted an enemy in the distance using the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic, and then using the Nitro Fists to close the distance between the two players.

As the enemy attempted to use the Nitro Fists to take the player out, u/IgbarVonSquid was able to think quickly on their feet, pulling out their Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite. The player then proceeded to not only keep the enemy's Nitro Fists blows away from them but also deal consistent damage, eventually managing to eliminate them. Exclaiming their praise for the Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite, u/IgbarVonSquid stated in the caption:

The Tow Hook Cannon was added to Fortnite with the v30.10 update in Chapter 5 Season 3, providing players with a unique weapon that allows them to hitch a ride on a moving vehicle by shooting a harpoon at it. Thankfully, the Tow Hook Cannon is only a Rare category item and can be found in chests as well as floor loot.

This makes it incredibly easy to find during a match, and if used right, it can be one of the most useful weapons in the game's post-apocalyptic saga.
