Fortnite has finally unvaulted the Crash Pad Jr. which is a less powerful version of the original Crash Pad. It deploys a small trampoline that players can throw at a nearby location or under one’s feet, allowing the player to jump into the air without worrying about fall damage.

One of the most helpful features of the Crash Pad Jr. is that it doesn’t need to be equipped by players to be deployed. If you suddenly find yourself falling a great distance, you can double jump to throw a crash pad below you without needing to switch to the item.

The Crash Pad Jr. falls in the game’s Uncommon rarity tier, which makes it a common item that can be located in chests and floor loot. Although many gamers consider Crash Padr Jr. to be a weak item, its overall capabilities make it quite useful in multiple situations.

Mobility items such as Crash Pad Jr. in Fortnite is crucial in game modes such as Zero Build, where players are vulnerable in open spaces. These items can help you to quickly cover ground if you find yourself in a weak spot.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has been out for a while now and has brought in plenty of vehicular mayhem and mobility options to the ongoing battle royale title. There are tons of weapons, bosses, and other things for everyone to loot! However, many wonder when the game’s next season will arrive.

Chapter 5 Season 4 will likely launch on August 17th, 2024, if Epic Games doesn’t deviate from its current schedule. The thing to keep in mind about new seasons and chapters is that there’s always some sort of downtime period after one ends.

This downtime makes the next season’s start time quite challenging to predict as it can go from a couple of hours to multiple days, which we’ve seen happen before.
