Remote Explosives are back in Fortnite’s loot pool, after update 30.20 unvaulted them. Here’s everything you need to know about the in-game item.
Remote Explosives,Fortnite‘s version of C4, was introduced in Season 3 of the Battle Royale mode. After being unvaulted for Chapter 4 Season OG, the weapon has been in the content vault since the throwback season occurred.
That said,update 30.20brings the explosive device back, which is perfect timing since Chapter 5 Season 3 has been a vehicle-heavy meta.
How to get Remote Explosives in Fortnite
Remote Explosives can be found viaground loot or in chests, much like most of the Battle Royale’s items. If you can’t find them via those two methods, you can purchase them directly fromVengeance Jones in the area southwest of the Nitrodrome for 180 Gold Bars.
Players can only hold up to six Remote Explosives in a stack. To use them, simply toss them with your aim button or keybind, and then detonate them with the fire button.
As mentioned, with Chapter 5 Season 3 focused on vehicles, the return of items like theBoogie Bomband Remote Explosives to Fortnite make for perfect counters. You can place the explosives on a vehicle as a trap, or you can place them down as a sort of “proximity mine.”
That’s not the only thing update 30.20 introduced. TheHeavy Impact Sniperalso joined the loot pool, so be sure to catch up on that. We also have guides on how to play theOG Reload modeand all theweapon vaulting and unvaultingchanges that have taken place this season.
