Functionality

Functionality[]

Floppers are consumed to heal Health - Icon - Fortnite 40 Health. They can only be consumed at less than full HP. Consuming one will turn the player into a Shadow, like a Shadow Stone. Exiting Shadow form when inside a prop will break most props instantly. If it doesn't break it, it will push the player out.

Floppers can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed, it will ping its location to squad-mates
