Collecting Boons in Fortnite is a helpful way to improve your chances and get an edge in the game. These ‘power-up’ cards have been part of the battle royale for several seasons now. The latest addition, Super Soldier Boons for Shock ‘N Awesome, offer benefits like less stamina drained when running, faster reloading, less weapon recoil and spread, and at the highest level, faster sprinting with unlimited energy, so you can move swiftly across the map.
Besides giving you an advantage in fights, Boons are now essential for completing some Fortnite quests. You’ll need to find them to finish certain tasks. Fortunately, there are ways to increase your chances of finding Boons during matches, so here’s what you need to know about how to collect them in Fortnite.
There are a few different methods to get Boons. They can randomly drop when you open chests, OXR chests, or Hive Sacs. Sometimes, you’ll also find them as floor loot. However, a guaranteed way to get Boons is by leveling up during a match and then searching the nearby OXR Drop Pod. You can see your current OXR Rank on the right side of your screen, ranging from C to S+. Each time you reach the next Rank, an OXR Drop Pod lands in the area. Search it when it arrives, and you’ll always find a Super Soldier Boon inside.
Your Rank increases every time you open a chest or defeat an enemy. The easiest way to boost your OXR Rank is by destroying bugs and Swarmer Nests. The map below marks every Swarmer Nest location, and you’ll also find plenty of insects nearby that you can attack to help you level up faster. Reaching the next Rank causes another OXR Drop Pod to land, giving you the chance to get another Boon. Keep repeating this process each game, and you’ll soon gather enough Boons to complete your tasks in Fortnite.
