To boost your chances of securing a victory royale, you’ll want to grab all the best loot available around the island in Fortnite. Boons are some of the most useful items you can get, as they grant you special buffs and boost your abilities.
Since there are quite a few unique Boons you can acquire, you might not be sure what they do. You don’t always have the time to closely inspect them in the heat of the battle, so here are all the Boons you can earn and what they do in Fortnite Chapter Six, season four.
All Shock N’ Awesome Boons and what they do in Fortnite
There are seven Boons you can find and equip around the island in Fortnite. You can have one of each Boon equipped, which means you can stack all of the unique abilities together if you manage to find them all. Here are all the available Boons and the effects each one grants.

How to get Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4
Boons can be earned in quite a few different ways throughout Chapter Six, season four. The process for getting them looks different from how it did in past seasons, so you have to get used to some new gameplay elements to add them to your inventory. Here are all of the ways you can unlock them this season.
- Open OXR Chests. These are special rectangle chests packed with loot to aid your fight against the bug infestation you can find around the island, primarily at OXR bases and outposts.
- Increase your OXR rank. All of the Super Soldier Boons are tied to this gameplay mechanic, so working on your overall level is a great way to ensure you eventually unlock some powerful Boons.
- Open Drop Pods. These special loot containers drop when you increase your OXR Rank, but you can also sometimes find ones left behind by other players around the island. Always loot these pods since you never know what you might find inside.
- Open Hive Stashes. These bountiful orange sacs are always guarded by bugs, but contain a chest that might grant you a Boon. You’ll have to fight to open it, so make sure you have at least one solid weapon before attempting to loot one.
- Complete special objectives. Finish important tasks, like defending an Outpost from bug invasions, to have a chance of receiving one.
With some powerful Boons now in your arsenal, you can get to work tackling some of the tougher trials around the island. You might consider working on slaying the Queen, claiming Capture Points, tackling some SHADOW Briefings, and discovering the swarm’s access point to the island.
