Fortnite: Battle Royale has a ton of items, and while some are constantly found in players’ loadouts, others are rarely picked up. However, these three items are much better than their reputation in the community.
A player on Reddit presented three items in a highly visited thread (14,000 upvotes on August 10, 2019) that he believes are severely underrated. His selection was heavily debated, and it prompted us to create our own list of currently underrated items.
These 3 Items in Fortnite are the Most Underrated
Which items are underrated? The selection from the Reddit thread included the three items Bush, Boogie Bomb, and Slurp Juice. According to both our opinion and the community’s, the first two items are indeed underrated. However, most players agree on the Slurp Juice: “It’s just awesome! If you don’t understand that, you’re a noob!”
Therefore, we have included the often underrated Minigun as the third item.
The Bush – The Unsuspecting Lifesaver
What can the Bush do? The Bush hides you from opponents and makes you at first glance a part of the landscape. You can now even see better out of it than before, when the leaves obstructed the view.
However, the coolest thing about the Bush is that in theory it absorbs hits. If someone shoots at you, the Bush might absorb the damage. However, this seems to be somewhat buggy and doesn’t always work. But it’s better than nothing. Therefore, you should always wear the Bush when you find it.
Warning: According to some players on Reddit, the Bush may disable your aim assist on the controller.
The Minigun – Demolition Crew at Close Range
What can the Minigun do? The Minigun is one of the oldest weapons in the game and after an early hype, it was often left behind. However, the weapon is extremely powerful in certain situations. It fires very quickly and can tear down buildings at close range in seconds.
Since it takes some time to reach its full firing speed, it’s optimal to start firing when your opponent has fortified. Because the Minigun is rarely used, your opponent will likely panic, trying to renew their cover and then gets taken down in the hail of bullets.
But be careful, after about 6 seconds the Minigun overheats. Ideally switch to a good close combat weapon and finish off the opponent.
And even if you don’t want the Minigun, pick it up briefly. It contains 90 shots of light ammunition that you should definitely take with you.
The Boogie Bomb – The Counter Against Mechs
What can the Boogie Bomb do? The “dance bomb” Boogie Bomb is a joke to many players. It makes your opponent dance uncontrollably for a short time. However, since it often catches you as well, both friend and foe dance and no one has an advantage.
However, the dance bomb can be crucial in battle if used skillfully, as hardly anyone expects to suddenly be caught in a hysterical dance. You can take down the helpless dancer.
But the real reason you should always have a dance bomb is a different one starting from Season 10: The dance bombs force the crew of a B.I.E.S.T. Mech to leave the battle mech to indulge in their dancing desires.
This way, you can either kill them or occupy the mech yourself and give them a taste of their own medicine.
Since the dance bomb is a somewhat reliable counter against the overpowered mech , this item is at least very valuable in Season 10.
What do you think of our selection of underrated items? Do you agree or have a different opinion?
