How to Use Bouncer in Fortnite

Fortnite’s Bouncer is a rare item players can place on walls, stairs, or floors. They can be found in stacks of three all around the island in random locations, in chests, and in Supply Drops. Bouncers can be picked up and put into the player’s inventory where traps and launchpads are kept.

How to Use a Bouncer

You can use a Bouncer placed by another player, or you can place one yourself. Bouncers can only be placed if you also have materials in your inventory, as each bouncer needs its own wall, stairs, or a floor built for it to be put down.

To equip the Bouncer, go to Build Mode and select traps, then find the Bouncer and, while it is selected, build the structure you require. The Bouncer will be placed on whatever piece of structure you choose. You can also just place the trap directly onto a piece of structure you have already built, but it must be a full wall, stairs, or floor—no half structures.

If you are standing on the area where you are placing the Bouncer, you will be automatically bounced upwards (or diagonally if you are standing and placing it on stairs). This is useful to remember if you need to quickly launch yourself up or away from an opponent. Bouncers can also be used to launch yourself up the side of a building, or opponents’ structures.

Bouncers provide protection while you launch from them, so you will not take any fall damage while using one. This is particularly useful if you want to use one to launch from a great height.

You can use your weapon to attack your opponent while launching from a Bouncer, or use them to perform tricks in a Quadcrasher (just remember to land safely so the trick counts successfully).

Good luck!
