— In-Game Description

The Port-A-Fort is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Season 3.

Functionality

Functionality[]

Upon throwing, it will instantly construct a small metal tower. This can be seen by holding the item first, and readying the throw, to show exactly where the tower will land. This tower will replace any structures in its way.

The Tower is 4 tiles tall, one of which being the foundation piece. It then reaches two tiles up, until a large funnel shape surrounds the opening on the final tile. The item also spawns several tires, which are used to launch the player upwards onto the top of it.
