Crash Pad Jr in Fortnite - Where to find and how to use
The Crash Pad Jr is an Uncommon item, meaning that finding it in Fortnite won't be as complicated as you might think. It's a utility item that can be found across the map, available as ground loot, in chests, and even in Vaults.
There are two ways to deploy the Crash Pad Jr. The first way is by selecting it from your inventory and throwing it in front of your character. The second way is to double-tap the jump button, and your character will launch the Crash Pad at their feet, giving you a massive boost.
A tip we can give you is to try mixing the Crash Pad Jr's momentum with a Flowberry, you'll gain incredible jump height, letting you escape from team fights you don't feel confident in winning or even get a vantage point to scout the surrounding area.
One more thing, if you're wondering why it's called the Crash Pad Jr, that's because it's considerably smaller than a regular Crash Pad, making it easier to destroy for opponents.
