The Port-a-fortress is one of Fortnite's consumable items. It can be found either inside chests or dropped in the middle of the stage.

Once we pick up this object and throw it towards a place, a large metal tower is instantly built on that spot. Climbing to the top of it is easy, as it has a door to enter and tires to jump on its base.

The Port-a-fortress is similar to the Port-a-fort, but the former is larger and stronger than the latter.

Is it currently available?

Epic Games updates Fortnite continuously. In the middle of a season, a new item may appear, an old one return, another one disappear, and so on, it may be that in your Fortnite Battle Royale games, you do not see this item.

However, where we can always find it is in the creative mode. As a rule, the creative mode just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It is very rare for a weapon or item to be removed, so the Port-a-fortress is easily found in the Consumables section.

Why use a Portable Fortress

The use of the Port-a-fortress is purely strategic. First, it gives us height, a great advantage in Fortnite, second, it offers great resistance because it is so large and made of metal, and finally, it lets us take cover easily if we are hit by other players.

If you have a Port-a-fortress, it is best to use it in an elevated location. If we place it, for example, under a mountain, the opponent who climbs on it will have a clear shot at us, so we would lose all the advantages that this object offers at first.

This consumable item is very useful, especially if we use it in squad games since in case one of our teammates is shot down, it would be very easy to recover it without being hit by more shots.
