Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Peppers should be consumed no matter what, as the boost they provide will last a decent amount of time. As such, consuming any peppers found will provide a boost to the player with no cost to inventory space.
  • The speed you get from consuming one pepper is the same speed you get from consuming two or more peppers. Don't consume another pepper until the effect of the first pepper wears off because they don't stack in time.
