— In-Game Description

The Junk Rift is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Season X.

Functionality

Functionality[]

When a Junk Rift is thrown at a surface, a horn-like sound will play and a random object will be rifted from several meters up, and fall down onto the ground. The random model of the object does not affect damage and is purely visual. When the object falls, it will destroy all structures in its path. This will deal damage to players with both impact and shockwave damage, with the latter dealing only half. The rift will also spawn materials, ammo or low tier weapons from the item pool. The prop placed can be harvested like any other structure or prop. The props that will spawn are:

  • A buoy.
  • An anchor
  • A metal Triceratops.
  • A broken car.
  • A police car (formerly)
