A clinger is just one of many items that you’ll come across on Fortnite. Clingers are destructive no matter who or what they come into contact with. That means, when used correctly, you can use them to get closer to a Victory Royale!
Finding Clingers In Fortnite
First, you’ll need to find some clingers.
Like any other items and weapons in Fortnite, clingers can be found either lying around on the island, or you can find them inside chests. Plus, like any item or weapon, it's first come first serve.
Once you find a clinger and place it into your inventory, it’ll give you three rounds.
Just keep in mind: You’re only allowed to carry two clingers which give you six rounds. So, be sure to plan your inventory accordingly.
Using Clingers
Using the clinger is similar to how you use firefly jars and grenades. You aim at a target and then throw it. A blue line will show you where the clinger will most likely land; so, be sure to use that line for accuracy.
Now, throwing the clinger at your targets can be tricky, seeing that other players will have weapons of their own (especially guns), and will want to take you down first. So, make sure that you’re quick in aiming and throwing the clinger at your opponent. Once the clinger has successfully landed on your opponent, it won’t be long before they get hit with a rude awakening.

Tips and Tricks!
Can’t get close enough to where you have a clear shot at your opponent? No problem! Here are some tips and tricks on how to make the best out of using a clinger in Fortnite:
1. Find Civilization
Believe it or not, there is much opportunity in a town or establishment. Plus, you might find some "camper" opponents in some of the buildings.
Aim the clinger at the object (e.g., a house, a gas station, etc.), and let destruction handle the rest. While that method won’t take out your opponent entirely, it’ll still knock out some of their health.
2. Fight Fire With Fire!
Or, chances are, opponents might be near something like a gas pump, a gas tank, or anything flammable. If you see any of these nearby along with the opponent, aim your clinger at those for an even more destructive takedown! You’ll find plenty of these in a town setting or some other form of civilization on the island.
All in all, the clinger allows you to be creative in how you use it. If one way doesn’t seem possible, then it allows you to improvise. Once you establish your own techniques for the clinger, it’ll be one of the most prized weapons in your inventory!
