Storm Flip

The Storm Flip is a Throwable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were added in Season 9.

Functionality
The Storm Flip is thrown at a surface to produce a different effect depending on if it is thrown in the Storm or outside of it. Regardless, it will slowly grow to a large sphere, taking a small amount of time to grow, and lasting 20 seconds when at its largest. It will then shrink back into nothing.

In the Storm
If the Storm Flip is thrown into the Storm, it will create a large sphere which removes all passive storm damage when inside it for the duration of the item. The Storm Flip can be thrown anywhere in the storm to provide this effect.

Out of the Storm
If the Storm Flip is thrown out of the Storm, it will create a large sphere which deals the same damage as the current storm. Damage dealt will be attributed to the player who threw it, and teammates in team gamemodes. As such, the item deals more damage when the Storm DPS rate is higher. If the Storm Flip is thrown at the border of the Storm, it will flip each area accordingly.

Obtained
Storm Flips can be obtained from a variety of places. They are found as floor loot, in chests, in Supply Llamas and in supply drops. They drop in stacks of 1.

Stats
Storm Flips deal damage related to the Storm's tick rate.

Strategy Guide

 * The Storm Flip can be used to easily survive the Storm way beyond the actual safe zone. Combined with several healing items, or multiple players carrying Storm Flips, a player can survive until the storm closes completely.
 * The Storm Flip is ineffective early on in a match, as it will only deal 1 damage per second on the first two Storm circles.
 * The Storm Flip can be thrown into a build fight, or combined with fire, in order to deal HP damage as fast as possible and damage players inside their structures. On top of this, visibility is greatly reduced.

Season 9

 * Update v9.20: Introduced the Storm Flip in Rarity.

Season X

 * Update v10.20: Vaulted the Storm Flip.

Trivia

 * The Storm Flip is currently the only item in the game that is directly affected by the damage the Storm can deal to a player.
 * It is also currently the only item in the game that directly inflicts damage on the user's teammates.
