Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 introduces a returning gameplay mechanic: Boons. These provide powerful abilities without drawbacks, unlike Medallions. This guide details all available Boons and how to acquire them.
Here's a breakdown of the Boons and their effects:
Boon | Description |
---|---|
Vulture Boon | Briefly reveals enemy elimination locations on the map. |
Gold Rush Boon | Opening or destroying chests grants a Gold Rush effect. |
Adrenaline Rush Boon | Grants the Slap effect (short-term unlimited energy regeneration) after mantling, hurdling, or wall jumping. |
Gold Ammo Boon | Gain ammo when collecting Bars. |
Greed Boon | Find extra Bars from eliminations and container loot. |
The Vulture Boon and Adrenaline Rush Boon offer significant tactical advantages, while the Greed Boon is valuable due to the importance of Bars in this season.
Acquiring Boons:
With the removal of Sprites and Sprite Shrines, Boon acquisition methods have changed:
-
Black Markets: These new locations offer various items, including Boons, in exchange for Dill Bits and Gold Bars. Three Black Markets are scattered across the map.
-
Rare Chests: While less reliable, Rare Chests have a chance to contain a Boon. However, their distinctive sound attracts other players.
This covers all Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 and their acquisition methods. For further information, check out the rumored collaborations for this season.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
