Bounty Boards are quest-giving objects in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced in Chapter 2: Season 5.
Functionality[]
Bounty Boards allow players to start bounties, where they have to eliminate a random player to get Bars as a reward. They replaced getting a bounty from a Character, which was the original method to get a bounty. A Bounty is also a way to locate players and start a fight with other teams.
You may only have one bounty active at a time and each bounty board has a timed cooldown for each player.
