– Damage opponents with explosives (0/100)
Explosive weapons in Fortnite Battle Royale excel in ranged combat, delivering splash damage via rocket ammo (except niche variants like the Party Royale paint launcher or Plasma Cannon). As a long-time Fortnite strategist, I've relied on these for breaking builds and pressuring foes—the Rocket Launcher's AOE often catches enemies off-guard.
Explosives spawn in stacks of 3 (max stack 6) from Chests, Supply Drops, Supply Llamas, and Vending Machines. Key spots include: the dumpster just south of the main road to Dirty Docks, and near shipping containers in southern Dirty Docks by another dumpster.
These weapons shine in structure demolition with varying player vs. structure damage stats, but beware self-damage limits close-range use. Splash damage radiates from impact points in a spherical radius.
