This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Boom Box can eliminate a player if it destroys the structure they are standing on and they fall long enough to be knocked or eliminated from fall damage.
- The Boom Box is useful in build fights, as it can be thrown and left to passively deal structure damage over time.
- In a small storm circle, a few Boom Boxes can clear out all cover in the entire safe zone, making it a valuable asset in both building and Zero Build playlists.
- Keep in mind that the Boom Box will clear out structures for both you and your opponent in its area of effect. As such, try to only throw the Boom Box at opponents that are far enough away that it will not affect your cover.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The Boom Box appears to have a face made out of the tape deck on the front of it. It slightly resembles the Villain's Lair, although this is more likely coincidence.
- The Boom Box is the only item that has not been updated to function with water which causes it to just float in water until it hits a floor.
- The Boom Box has never been unvaulted since Update v7.30. Likely due to backlash at the time.
- If thrown near a group of Monsters, the Boom Box will divert attention towards it until its duration expires. This can be very helpful in Limited Time Modes such as Horde Rush.
