Moe’s Five Gun Acquisition Path Fortnite Simpsons Season Guide

Springfield has hit Fortnite, and Moe’s Five Gun is the weapon everyone’s after. Hidden behind one of the map’s trickiest Easter eggs, this powerful sidearm packs both nostalgia and serious firepower. Here’s where to find it before your opponents do.

How to Obtain Moe’s Five Gun in Fortnite Simpsons Season

Moe’s Five Gun can be obtained by visiting Moe’s Tavern, which appears as a themed location during the Fortnite Simpsons Season event. Inside, players can find the weapon behind the bar or receive it as a drop after defeating Moe, who acts as an NPC boss protecting the area. The gun is a powerful sidearm with a rapid-fire rate and high headshot damage, making it useful for close-range engagements. Keep an eye on respawn timers, as the weapon may only appear once per match after Moe is defeated.

Fortnite’s November 11 Update added Five Gun, along with other cartoon guns from the franchise. Although the Five Gun in Fortnite is an Epic-Legendary weapon, there are some common places where you can find it easily. Here is the list of Moe’s Five Gun locations in Fortnite Simpsons Season:

1. Chests

The most reliable way to track down any Fortnite weapons is to search regular chests, and Moe’s Five Gun is no different. The drop rate is moderate, so try to loot as many chests early on. Focus on places with dense building layouts, as they typically have more rooms, which in turn means more chests. If you land in a slower area, follow the chest sound cue and grab the Epic-Legendary weapon right away.

2. Mr Burns Mystery Boxes

Mr Burns Mystery Boxes add a little chaos to the hunt, and more chance to find the Five Gun too. These bright containers hold crossover loot and always feel like a gamble. You might pull out Moe’s Five Gun, or you might get nothing close to it. Keep opening the boxes when you see them, as they carry a slightly higher chance of producing event-themed items.

3. Supply Drops

Supply Drops remain the best method to grab high-rarity weapons in Fortnite. That is why Moe’s Five Gun has a higher chance to appear inside them than the normal chests. However, be cautious before rushing for that supply drop loot.

How to Use Moe’s Five Gun in Fortnite Simpsons Season

Moe’s Five Gun is a powerful short-range weapon that rewards aggressive play. To use it well, aim for close encounters where its burst damage can overwhelm opponents. Its recoil is strong, so fire in controlled bursts instead of holding the trigger. Pair it with a mid- or long-range weapon to cover more situations, and take advantage of quick reload spots such as near Moe’s Tavern. Managing ammo and timing your shots can make this weapon a reliable choice during chaotic fights in the Simpsons-themed areas.

The Five Gun weapon is both pump and dump, and spray and pray, and once. Yes, when using the gun, expect it to throw bullets at the enemy at any random pace. Although Fortnite barely cares about recoil, this gun requires some precision to finish off enemies. If you want to be a master with the Moe’s Five Gun, use it in a close to mid-range for the most impact.
