Bouncer is a Trap in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 4.
Functionality[]
Bouncers are a device that can be placed on any player-owned or neutral structure, in any direction or orientation. They launch players or vehicles away from them. Bouncers will negate fall damage.
When placed on the side of a structure, it appears they have a special function to instantly launch a player on near contact. If placed on a flat surface or slope however, the player must directly touch it to be launched.
If a box is created with bouncers on all surfaces, eventually one of them will break in order to set the player free. Aside from this, they can be used infinitely.
Stats[]
Bouncers launch the player roughly 3 tiles upward.

- The Bouncer was one of the items available for choice in The Unvaulting Event. It did not win, and lost to the Drum Gun.
- The Bouncer is a replacement for the Directional Jump Pads from earlier seasons.
- Bouncers are spawned as part of the Port-A-Fortress item.
- The Bouncer has 2 Rare variants for floors and walls and a Epic variant for Ceillings in UEFN. This was likely done so it's easier to place the trap in the editor.
