- — In-Game Description
The Kinetic Boomerang is an Epic Utility item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 4: Season 3.
Functionality[]
The Kinetic Boomerang is a thrown projectile, that will come back to the user after travelling 90 meters. While in flight, the boomerang can be recalled early, which will produce a small explosion at the projectile's current position.
The Kinetic Boomerang will automatically lock onto targets within a close distance of the crosshair.
With good timing, Kinetic Boomerang can damage an opponent with both the impact and explosion at the same time, doubling its damage output. However, opponents cannot be hit by the same attack twice.
