Flintlock Pistols in Fortnite are part of the limited-time Cursed Sails event and are a powerful weapon if you manage to obtain one. However, they are quite slow to reload, so be sure to use them strategically.
You’ll also need to use flintlock pistols to complete one of the Fortnite quests in the second part of the Pirate Code. For this specific task, you’ll either need to deal 500 damage to opponents or travel 500 meters with the pistol (although both can be combined to reach the 500 goal).

How to get a flintlock pistol in Fortnite
There are several ways to get a flintlock pistol in Fortnite, although some are easier than others.
The first place you can find a flintlock pistol is in the treasure chests on the ship docked south of the Great Glacier (near Jack Sparrow’s location) or in the ship at Shipwreck Shallows (where you can walk the plank).
You can also obtain flintlock pistols from normal gold treasure chests around the map, although they seem to spawn randomly in these chests and you won’t find them every time you open one.
If this doesn’t work for you, you can always loot one from downed players who had it in their inventory.
