Disambig gray This article is about the Save the World Material. For the Back Bling of the same name, see BluGlo (Back Bling).

BluGlo is a World Resource in Fortnite: Save the World. It is the main power source that is frequently used to power up mission objectives. It can be found scattered across the map in each mission, and it can also be obtained by completing the Whack-a-Troll side objective, and by destroying Anomalies. BluGlo does not persist over missions and is hence removed once a mission is over.

The scientific name of BluGlo is Bluglonium.

  • Shield Boost
  • Health Boost
  • Speed Boost
  • Building Boost
  • Energy Boost

Obtained[]

BluGlo appears in random locations around the map and can be gathered by holding the interact button. There are a multitude of "mini-games" you can complete to obtain more BluGlo. BluGlo is marked on the minimap.

Following methods are known:

  • Whack a Troll: You hear a laugh when interacting with BluGlo. Doing so makes a Troll appear. Hitting the Troll for a total of six times with a weapon or Pickaxe gives you a small reward and drops 2 BluGlo. Be aware of the Bomb and cardboard cut-out baits.
  • Anomalies: Destroying an Anomaly and collecting the Anomaly Shards drops 4 BluGlo with a small reward.
  • BluGlo Drops: If a Player who had BluGlo in their inventory gets knocked or disconnects, the BluGlo automatically drops from their inventory and can be picked up by other players.
