In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One), the Slurp Juice has not been very powerful so far. That is set to change with an upcoming buff! Players will love sipping the juice in 5.1.
What is Slurp Juice? In Fortnite, there are various items that replenish your health or give you a shield. However, only two items, the legendary Chug Jug and the epic Slurp Juice, provide you with both.
Why doesn’t the juice rock? While the Chug Jug instantly fills health and shield to maximum, the Slurp Juice was just a rather weak heal over time. You received one point of health and shields over the next 25 seconds. If one of those was already full, the additional healing would be wasted.
That’s nice, but no reason to carry the juice around. When found, it was quickly dumped, but no one got really excited about the Slurp Juice.
That is likely to change soon.
More Slurp in the juice
The community has an idea: Players have long found the rather weak Slurp Juice annoying. They therefore quickly published a constructive suggestion for change on Reddit.
The fans’ idea: The juice should still regenerate a total of 50 points. But it should start with health, and all excess should go to shields. In an example, a player had 0 shield and 80 health. If he were to sip the juice, he would end up with 100 health and 30 shields.
Powerful Slurp Juice coming in the next patch
Developers find the idea great: This idea for “Slurp Juice 2.0” was well received by the developers. They showed immediate interest. Later, lead designer Eric Williamson joined in and promised that the new juice would come in the upcoming update 5.10.
Slurp Juice will get even juicier: Epic is even going a step further and wants to make the new Slurp Juice even more powerful. It should heal a total of 75 points and grant two points every second. In this form, the juicy drink should certainly find more friends and a place in every inventory.
When is the Super Juice coming? It is set to arrive with the next patch 5.1. Perhaps already on Tuesday, at the latest during the week.
The juice comes along with this super weapon:
