Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Floppers are very useful to gaining quick health, as their time to consume versus the healing they provide is one of the fastest in the game for raw Health. As such, a player should reasonably carry a full stack of Floppers vs a full stack of Medkits, as the healing provided is less, but much faster, at 4 seconds as opposed to 30.
