How to collect Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4

As you work your way through the many quests you need to get done in Fortnite Chapter Six, season four, you’ll come across a few that ask you to collect Boons. These items are quite rare and difficult to find, so you might need some help with this mission.

Boons are some of the best items you can get, but they’re also often overlooked since they’re small, tough to find, and easy to forget about. You need this item to get some missions done, and they’re also great for giving you an edge over your opponents, so here’s how to collect Boons in Fortnite.

What are Boons in Fortnite?

Boons are essentially special buffs you can unlock in each round. Once you’ve acquired one, its effects are permanent for the rest of the match. Boons reset in every round, so to gain their special powers back, you need to find them again.

The exact buff you get varies depending on which Boon you come across, as there are many unique Boons waiting to be found around the island. Some Boons grant ammo, some enhance your mobility, and some have other effects entirely. All Boons supply some kind of useful boost that’s guaranteed to make your life a bit easier, though, so they’re certainly worth getting.

How to find Boons in Fortnite

All Boons are primarily earned by completing special objectives in Chapter Six, season four. In past seasons, you could sometimes come across them while looting randomly, but this is very rarely the case in season four. Instead, your best bet is to focus on tackling key tasks to get them, including:

• Increasing your OXR Rank to open OXR Drop Pods. All drop pods are guaranteed to contain a Boon, making them the overall most reliable means of acquiring these items.
• Dealing damage against Megazord. Players who dish out damage against this boss are granted Rita Repulsa’s Boon as a reward.
• Opening Hive Stashes. These orange pods sometimes have a Boon inside, but not always, so they’re not the best means for trying to acquire this item.
• Defend Bug Outposts. You might earn a Boon for successfully protecting these special zones.

Collect Boons in Fortnite

For missions that ask you to collect Boons, all you need to do is pick them up whenever you come across them. They don’t appear in your hotbar like most weapons and gear, and instead exist in the background, similar to Medallions.

You cannot have more than one of the same Boon in your inventory, so finishing any mission that asks you to tackle this task may take a few rounds if you keep finding the same ones. All missions that ask you to gather Boons can be worked on across multiple rounds, so there’s no rush to get them done in one go.
