The Stink Bomb is a Utility item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Season 4.
Functionality
Functionality[]
Upon detonation, it creates a yellow-ish gas cloud, similar to a Smoke Grenade that lasts 9 seconds, and deals damage every half second. The damage it deals bypasses shields and affects the opponents' HP. The thrower of the Stink Bomb is not immune to the gas cloud's effect, but their teammates are.

- They are most useful when someone is hiding in a box, as it will force them to expose themselves or they will take damage.
- They are great for weakening an enemy in a fight, especially inside The Storm, as it deals damage to HP and not shields.
- As such it can also be very useful for attacking a player who was recently knocked, as they will only have around 30HP, so three seconds of contact with a Stink Bomb.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- Stink Bombs act very similar to a Smoke Grenade, and can be considered the item's predecessor, as both produce a cloud of vision obscuring gas. However, the key differences are that the Stink Bomb deals damage, and has a brownish/green colored smoke, rather than white.
- During development, the Stink Bomb presented a much more realistic design compared to its finalized one.
- When fighting the Peter Griffin Boss, he had a chance to throw Stink Bombs when his Enragement ability has been casted, despite them being Vaulted during Chapter 5: Season 1.
- It had an old description: Hurls a grenade that unleashes a cloud of poison. Better clear out!
