“Fortnite’s” new Tent feature operates very similarly to Campfires in previous iterations of the game, but with some alterations. Tents offer players several advantageous perks that they can use to tip the balance on the battlefield. In order to be able to utilize a Tent, one must know where to find them first. And luckily, nothing too crazy is necessary for a player to acquire a Tent.
Tents spawn on the map as floor loot and are available to any player that comes across them. They appear as a bedroll, and can also be found in treasure chests. Players can additionally steal tents off of players they’ve killed, should they be carrying one. If a player happens upon one of the Tents, they can then carry it. However, upon picking it up, players are left exposed, as carrying a Tent doesn’t allow them to use their weapons until deploying it, or dropping it entirely.
