- — In-Game Description
The Crash Pad is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 2.
The Crash Pad is found in two different versions: The throwable item version, and the environmental version.
Functionality[]
Item Version[]
Crash Pads are thrown at a location to deploy a large inflatable trampoline. This trampoline destroys nearby structures to make sure it is placed properly. When a player stands on top of this trampoline, they are launched into the air, and will not take fall damage. The crash pad can also be angled, so that the player is launched at an angle, rather than directly upwards. Crash Pads will deflate after some time, or when attacked. The pads will deflect projectiles such as Rockets or Grenades.
When a player is in the air and carrying Crash Pads, they can press the jump button to throw one below them. This pad will follow the player and always make sure they land on top of it, no matter their velocity. This takes priority over Glider Redeploy.
Environmental Version[]
Environmental Crash Pads function the same as the item version, except they are pre-deployed. Players are launched into the air when they stand on its top, and will not take fall damage. Crash Pads can launch Vehicles, items, and certain projectiles.
They can be deflated when attacked.

Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Crash Pads are very useful for safely leaving aerial vehicles while they're flying, such as the X-4 Stormwing or Choppa, as the Crash Pad can easily be thrown to deploy directly under you and save you from fall damage.
- You can bounce thrown items off of Crash Pads for extra distance. This can be useful for giving your teammates healing items at long distances or increasing the distance a Grenade travels.
- Crash Pads are especially useful in building playlists for box breaching, as Crash Pads will instantly destroy any structure they collide with when deployed.
- You can stack Crash Pads on top of each other to make vehicles like cars or Quadcrashers go a very far distance.
- You can use Crash Pads in conjunction with other mobility items, as Crash Pads maintain the momentum you started with an add to it.
- You can use a Shockwave Grenade and land on a Crash Pad to go a very far distance. This can be further enhanced by sprint jumping.
- You can use a Crash Pad to go upward very high, then use Kinetic Blade dashes to travel a far distance or go upward even higher.
- Crash Pads can be used on opponents to launch them up into the air. While they're in the air, pull out an SMG or another weapon with a high DPS stat to deal high damage as they fall back down.

Trivia[]

- All AIs.
- All Vehicles.
- Consumables (when thrown).
- All throwables, except Sneaky Snowman and Creepin’ Cardboard.
- Energy balls, like Doctor Doom's Mystical Bomb, Plasma Cannon, Saucer’s Energy Cannon and Snowballs.
