Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Birthday Presents can be used to hide inside of, as throwing one on top of yourself will put you in a structure with no entrance or way to see inside of.
  • Birthday Presents can also be trapped easily by keeping the loot available and placing a trap on a surface (ideally the roof) to eliminate unsuspecting players.
  • If you obtain a Birthday Present during the late stages of the game, you could use the present box to temporarily trap opponents in the storm as it starts to move.
    • Do keep in mind that Birthday Presents can sometimes contain items like Med Kits or Med-Mist, meaning your opponent could end up with more health than they started with.
  • Upon obtaining a Birthday Present, it's usually best to throw it down and take the items inside rather than carry it around. Other items, such as Port-A-Bunkers and Port-A-Forts work much better as portable cover items.
