Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Big Bush Bomb is best used outdoors where other bushes are plentiful and it's not going to be obvious that it has been placed.
  • The Bush Warrior augment is perfect in combination with the Big Bush Bomb, as it allows portable healing up to 100 Health and 50 Shield.
    • In a competitive setting, combining a Big Bush Bomb with the Bush Warrior augment can allow you to deal damage for Storm Surge while slowly healing any shots you take in return.
  • The Big Bush Bomb can be thrown down to prevent fall damage, as landing in any other big bush has the same effect.
  • The Big Bush Bomb is especially useful in Zero Build playlists to create natural-looking cover wherever you need it.
  • Keep in mind while hiding inside large bushes that you're still able to be shot by opposing players. In addition, Aim Assist is disabled while inside of large bushes.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Big Bush Bomb's icon is that of a Port-A-Bunker, but with leaves growing out of the green colored sides.
  • The Big Bush Bomb being unvaulted during Chapter 6: Mini Season 2, may be a reference to an iconic scene from Homer Loves Flanders episode of The Simpsons, where Homer Simpson backs into a bush slowly.
    • This scene later became a popular meme, which most likely explains the seemingly random reference.
  • An early version of the Big Bush Bomb can be found in a leaked Development Build during Chapter 3: Season 3:
    • Is called Leaf Pile Grenade.
    • Its in-game description is Deploys a leaf pile that you can hide in and saves you from fall damage.
    • Uses the icon of the Bush as a placeholder.
    • Is is Epic rarity.
