How to pull Consumables with the Thorn Ripper in Fortnite

You need to find Doja Cat, or The Mother of Thorns, if you want to complete the quest “Pull Consumables with the Thorn Ripper” in Fortnite. The Thorn Ripper is her signature Mythic weapon, which means you have to find the Mother of Thorns mini-boss, defeat her, and grab this item when she drops it.

Then, with the Thorn Ripper in hand, all you have to do is hold the secondary fire to make the weapon spin, aim at a consumable on the ground, and press the primary fire without releasing the weapon. It will make the Thorn Ripper extend to the area you were aiming for and pull whatever items were there closer to your character, just like in the GIF below.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how to complete this quest in Fortnite.

How to complete the Pull Consumables with the Thorn Ripper quest

Step 1 – Find the Mother of Thorns

You can get the Thorn Ripper by defeating the Mother of Thorns in any POI that’s Halloween-themed. These areas have a blue aura on the map and are filled with pumpkins and thorns, so they’re easy to spot.

The Mother of Thorns is a random spawn, which means she may not show up in these areas in certain matches. If you can’t find her, either go somewhere else or start new matches until she’s where you’re dropping. Some of the areas where she may appear are:

1. South of Supernova Academy. That’s where I found her.
2. South of Ranger’s Ruin
3. Freaky Fields, near the big red barn.

Step 2 – Defeat the Mother of Thorns

Once you spot The Mother of Thorns, simply aim for her head and unload all your weapons on her. She’s slow and easy to kill, so simply having 50 shield should be more than enough to 1v1 her. Once you get the win, she will drop the Thorn Ripper. Grab it.

Step 3 – Pull consumables

With the Thorn Ripper in your inventory, hold the secondary fire button (usually the same one you use to aim down sights). The weapon will start spinning. Now, without releasing it, press the primary fire button, which is the one you use to actually shoot weapons. You’ll see the Thorn Ripper flying forward and coming back, and that’s the action you want to make.

Look for consumable items on the ground—Shield potions, Med Kits, or Bandages. If nothing’s available, drop one from your inventory. Aim at it and pull five times. That’s it! The quest counts each pull action, so you can target the same item repeatedly instead of finding multiple consumables or actually using them.

The quest will then be shown as complete, and you can shift to other missions like answering calls on the Stalkbox.
