Clinger

Clinger is a throwable item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 3.

Functionality
A Clinger when thrown will stick to any surface it comes in contact with, whether it is a structure, a player or a vehicle. After around three seconds, the clinger will detonate, dealing damage to whatever it has stuck to, unless it was thrown at a friendly player. Doing any Emotes will cause the Clinger to fall off the player it had stuck to.

If the surface a clinger is stuck to is destroyed before it detonates, the clinger will drop to the ground. The timer for detonation only starts upon contact with a surface.

Stats
Clingers deal 100 damage to opponents and vehicles.

Strategy Guide

 * Clingers are useful for high action engagements, as knowing you have stuck a player with a clinger allows you to focus upon another target, as there is feasible way to negate clinger damage.
 * You can stick a Clinger to a friendly player and have them run towards an enemy. This is useful as the friendly player receives no damage.

Season 3

 * Update v3.60: Added Clingers in.

 * Update v5.30: Clingers no longer detonate upon the object they are connected to being destroyed. They will instead fall to the ground with the fuse timer still active.
