Once we have the stink bomb selected in our inventory, we just have to tap on the throw icon to throw it forward. In the game, we can preview the direction and point where the stink bomb will fall before being launched.

Stink bomb effect

The stink bomb produces a small toxic cloud wherever it is thrown. If we are located inside the cloud, we will lose 5 life points at a time. This cloud will remain for about 9 seconds, enough time to remove up to 90 health points from a player who remains still inside it.

It should be noted that the stink bomb, like the storm or falls, only takes away life. In other words, we could be eliminated by losing all our lives, even if we have a lot of shielding.

Primal Stink Bow

The Primal Stink Bow is like an evolution of stink bombs. With this bow, we can have many more arrows and the effect of these is much greater if we reach the opponent because we would subtract a good amount of life and/or shield just with the arrow shot. In addition, it is possible to shoot where we want in a much more precise way and with more range than with stink bombs.

Availability of the stink bomb

The stink bomb is not always available in Fortnite Battle Royale modes. As usual, Epic Games alternates the weapons and items that appear in each season, so that they are very similar.

On the other hand, we can always find this object on our island in the Creative mode, by accessing the Consumables tab.

Although the stink bomb is not a very damaging weapon, it is useful in certain situations, especially when the opponent wants to heal while in cover.
