Fortnite’s new Birthday quests are here, offering a great opportunity to level up your Battle Pass quickly! One quest requires you to use 6 Balloons. This guide will show you exactly where to find them and how to use them effectively.
What are Balloons in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4?
Balloons are a Rare item in Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode that provide increased mobility. When equipped, they negate fall damage, allowing for safer drops from heights. They also reduce your fall speed and increase your jump height. You can equip a maximum of three Balloons at a time. With three Balloons inflated, your character will gradually float upwards. To release Balloons, press Ctrl (on PC). Keep in mind that Balloons will pop if you float too high or if you get shot at while in the air. Strategic balloon deployment can give you a significant advantage in engagements.
Where to Find Balloons in Fortnite
The “Use Balloons” Birthday quest awards a generous 20,000 XP upon completion, making it worthwhile to pursue. Balloons can be found as regular loot across the island. Check chests, Supply Drops, and even just the ground as floor loot. They appear as small packages of colorful balloons. If you are having trouble locating balloons, you can also activate the Jump Balloon Reality Augment. This augment grants you Balloons every time you jump until you reach the maximum of three balloons. Using the Augment can significantly increase your chances of completing the quest quickly, as it provides a reliable and consistent supply of Balloons.
How to Use Balloons in Fortnite
If you’re participating in Fortnite’s Birthday challenges, you will need to know how to use Balloons effectively. Start by selecting the Balloon item from your inventory. Once selected, hold down the right trigger (on controllers) or your assigned fire button (on PC) to inflate and attach a Balloon to your character. You can attach up to three Balloons at once to gain increased lift. Experiment with the number of balloons you use. More Balloons will let you jump higher and stay in the air longer, giving you more versatility in crossing the map.
To detach Balloons mid-air, press and hold down the right stick on your controller, or the assigned key on PC. This allows you to control your descent, making you less predictable. This is very useful in combat. To complete the quest efficiently, attach three balloons, detach two, and then re-attach two. This will trigger the quest completion and give you the reward. Practice incorporating balloon usage into your gameplay to master this versatile tool. It will open up new strategic options and allow you to traverse the map more creatively.
