With consumables, there are a large number of different items in Fortnite that you can collect and use during a match. MeinMMO shows you in this guide what these items bring.
What are consumables? These are items that you can find and use in Fortnite. Most of these items either restore shield or health points and can be found anywhere on the map.
These include items like apples, mushrooms, chilis, or slurp mushrooms. Coconuts, corn, cabbage, and bananas have also been introduced. The campfire is also among the consumables.
In total, there are currently 9 consumables in Fortnite. We show you the effects of the most important items and where you can find them.
Consumables in Fortnite – Effects and Locations
What can the consumables do? They serve to heal or repair your shield. Here is a list of the items, their usual locations, and effects:
| Item | Effect | Locations |
| Apple | Heals 5 health points (1 second) | Farmers Market, north of Frenzy Farm. Look under trees or right in the market. |
| Mushroom | Heals 5 shield points (1 second) | Weeping Woods, between the trees at the edge of the forest. |
| Slurp Mushroom | Heals 10 shield points (1 second) | Slurpy Swamp, on the hills that stick out of the water. They shine blue. |
| Coconut | Heals 5 health points. At full health, you get shield points instead. | You can find numerous coconut palms around Coral Castle and Believer Beach. |
| Chili | Heals 5 health points, also gives 20% more running speed for 60 seconds | Loot from NOMS food crates. |
| Banana | Heals 5 health points (1 second) | Found on the ground around Coral Castle or in banana stands. |
| Cabbage | Heals 10 health points (1 second) | Found in almost every garden and vegetable patch. Particularly common in Corny Complex. |
| Corn | Heals 10 health points (5 seconds) | Commonly found in Corny Complex, orchard, Iron Farm, Camp Cod, or Boney Burbs. |
| Campfire | Resting heals health points, cannot be picked up. | Campfires are scattered almost everywhere on the map. Keep an eye out for camping spots and gardens. |
What is the difference between campfires and other consumables? It is not an item that can simply be picked up. Campfires are stationary and must first be ignited.
Whoever is the first to reach a fire in a match can easily ignite it. It burns for 25 seconds, and during this time, players can regenerate health points around the fire.
Once it has burned down, the next player must reignite the fire. It requires 300 wood. However, you can also keep a burning fire going by adding 30 wood.
Consumables can be useful tools during matches. If you remember the possible locations, you can move accordingly on the map and keep replenishing your health and shield points.
However, keep in mind that there are likely other players after these items.
Recently, a new update for Fortnite went live with 17.50. We have prepared the patch notes overview for you.
