This article is about the item class in Battle Royale. For the item class of the same name in Save the World, see Traps (Save The World). |
Traps are a type of item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. The purpose of these items is to be placed in the environment to either help allies or hinder opponents in some way. Not all traps are placed however, some are thrown and some are environmental.
Functionality[]
Traps have two main uses in Battle Royale: Either to damage opponents, or to aid allies in some way. Traps are normally placed by the player, and take up a special infinite inventory slot, but some are items instead.
As a general rule, a player who comes within the same tile as a placed trap will activate it, causing the effects of the trap to apply. Some traps can however be dodged, by entering the tile, then exiting it before the effect is applied.
Depending on the trap, there will be a 'reload time' which decides the cooldown between trap usage.
Some traps have a different color scheme depending on if a friendly player or opponent placed them.
Since Update v33.00 some traps are placeable in Zero Build within Fortnite OG.

Trivia[]
- The Zapper Trap does not take up the trap slot in your inventory. Instead it is a throwable item, which creates a structure when thrown.
- The Cozy Campfire exists as a prop around the Battle Royale map. It can be interacted with to deal the same healing numbers as its trap counterpart, and can even be stoked to boost healing over time.
