Decoy Grenade

Decoy Grenades are a Throwable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were added in Chapter 2: Season 2.

Functionality
Decoy Grenades are used to duplicate the player character, to create a 'fake' version of them for opponents to mistake for an actual player. When thrown, a decoy will create a false player with the same cosmetic items as the player, as well as being equipped with an Assault Rifle or Tactical Shotgun.

The decoy will move, fire their weapon and act almost like an AI hired character. When attacked, the decoy will not have shield, and will disappear upon taking enough damage or after 10 seconds. During this time, Decoys appear marked on the minimap as friendly players.

Obtained
Decoy Grenades are normally obtained as Floor Loot, inside Chests or in Supply Drops.

Stats
Decoy Grenades cannot deal damage, as well as the Decoys themselves being harmless.

Strategy Guide

 * Decoys can be useful in a heated fight, as opponents may attack decoys thinking they are the player, allowing you time to focus your attack onto the opponent.
 * Decoys are indistinguishable from the player who threw them physically, but by viewing the decoy's behaviour, you can tell the difference between them and a real player.
 * Decoys will actually follow nearby targets, allowing you to locate opponents who are hiding nearby.

Chapter 2: Season 2

 * Update v12.00: Added Decoy Grenades in.
 * Update v12.10: Decoys spawned from a Decoy Grenade now appear on the player's minimap as a friendly player.

Chapter 2: Season 4

 * Update v14.00: Vaulted Decoy Grenades.

Trivia

 * Decoys can be healed by environmental effects (Slurp Vats, Slurp Pipes, Slurp Trucks, etc.) as well as Bandage Bazookas.
 * If the player is disguised and throws a decoy, the decoy will not be disguised. However, if they see the player disguised, they will shoot the player, thinking they are an actual henchman.
 * Decoys will use the Take the L emote if you are eliminated whilst one is active.
 * Decoy grenades are very similar to Friendly Bot Grenades in Battle Lab.
 * The difference is that Friendly Bots will not de-spawn after 10 seconds, do not use the same cosmetics, can deal damage, and have more HP and Shields than Decoys.
 * In Knockout Shuffle The decoy was paired with the epic Assault Rifle.
