Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is going all out for the summer, delivering heaps of content to keep players engaged until the next major update. While some fans are transforming into the Storm Beast in Battle Royale or grinding through LEGO Fortnite Expeditions, another exciting mode has made its debut.
Fortnite Blitz Royale is here—an intense, fast-paced version of Battle Royale where matches last just five minutes, the storm closes in quickly, and the action never stops. This mode stands apart from both Reload and standard Battle Royale, offering players the chance to level up their Blitz Level, earn Medallions and Mythics, and unlock powerful Boons. Here’s how to get Boons in Fortnite Blitz Royale.
Fortnite: Blitz Royale, Explained
Fortnite brings forth a new game mode for high-octane action and fast-paced victories, but what exactly is Blitz Royale?
How to Get Boons in Fortnite Blitz Royale
Boons in Fortnite Blitz Royale function in the exact same way as those in regular Battle Royale, each one offering buffs to the player and taking up their own unique slot within the player's inventory. However, the key difference in Fortnite Blitz Royale is how to get them.
To get Boons in Fortnite Blitz Royale, players will need to gain eliminations and survive the storm to increase their Blitz Level. Upon increasing their Blitz Levels, players will be given access to a random Boon and other upgrades like Mythic and Exotic Weapons, thus making them much more equipped for Victory. The player's current Blitz Level will be displayed just below their minimap.
Boons are also a guaranteed drop by searching Golden Chests, which will spawn in random locations. These Golden Chests are distinctively different from regular Chests, so players must keep their eyes peeled for one.
All Boons in Fortnite Blitz Royale (& How They Work)
There are currently a total of 10 unique Boons that players can collect in Fortnite Blitz Royale. Eagle-eyed players may recognize many of these Boons, as some were featured in past seasons, while others carry over from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Royale. However, a few function slightly differently compared to their Battle Royale counterparts. Here’s a breakdown of every Boon players can find in Fortnite Blitz Royale:
