As experienced Fortnite players know, the Clinger is a reliable explosive that sticks to surfaces or enemies before detonating after three seconds. It won't explode mid-air, making it ideal for close-range combat. While not always a go-to weapon, Clingers are essential for weekly challenges, like dealing 100 damage to opponents.
This guide draws from extensive gameplay in Chapter 3 Season 1 to help you locate and master Clingers efficiently, boosting your XP through in-game quests.

Challenge: Damage players with a Clinger (0/100)
Clingers appear as Uncommon, Rare, or Epic (Spy Games mode only) items in the general loot pool. Search chests, rare chests, supply drops, and floor loot across the map—no guaranteed hotspots, but they're common in high-traffic POIs.
Pro tip: Scan rooftops near points of interest for quick pickups. Once thrown, the Clinger adheres to the first target, delivering massive close-range damage. Enemies can't shake it off, often leading to knockouts. Even on a miss, you can lure foes into the blast radius.
If struck, dodge by sprinting away before detonation. Throwers should keep distance to avoid self-damage. Hit 100 total damage across matches to complete the quest and earn bonus XP.
Weekly Fortnite challenges like this provide substantial XP rewards, helping you level up faster. They're straightforward with the right strategy.
