For a long time,Fortnitehad a Rocket and a Grenade Launcher, but eventually, both were vaulted and now only tend to return to the game for special events, such as Easter and Halloween. A revamped version of the Grenade Launch has made it once again intoFortnite, and this time around, instead of gamers being able to throw grenades at their enemies, they can throw Sticky Grenades.

This guide will show players how they can find the Sticky Grenade Launcher inFortniteChapter 4 Season 4, as this item can come in quite handy in both the Battle Royale and the Zero Build game modes.
How to Find the Sticky Grenade Launcher
The Sticky Grenade Launcher isn’t exactly a common weapon, so gamers might have some issues trying to find it inFortnite. Thankfully, to make up for its high rarity, it has a chance to spawn in all sorts of locations and containers.
Gamers can find the Sticky Grenade Launcher in regular chests, Holo-Chests in exchange for keys,Heist Bags, POI Capture Points, and inside flying drones at location Hot Spots. Although, just like most items, the probability of it spawning completely depends on RNG, at least players have the possibility of finding it nearly everywhere.
How the Sticky Grenade Launcher Works
The Sticky Grenade Launcher is similar to the Grenade Launcher; gamers shoot it and a grenade will fly out of the barrel. However, since there’s a Sticky Grenade in it, it won’t keep rolling until it explodes - it’ll stick to whoever or wherever it lands, exploding a few seconds later.
If the Sticky Grenade sticks to an enemy player, it will deal 10 damage straight away and an additional 70 damage once it explodes. If a player has one of these grenades attached to them, there is nothing they can do to avoid its explosion.
The Sticky Grenade Launcher’s fire rate is 0.84 seconds, it can shoot 4 grenades before it needs to reload, and it takes 6.5 seconds to reload. Its explosion has a decent enough radius, so it can hit multiple enemies at once - it’s perfect for taking down Low Card guards during a heist or while trying to secure the Forecast Towers situated on the map.
Gamers that find the Sticky Grenade Launcher should try to activate theExplosive Surplus Reality Augment, which grants the player more Rocket ammo right away and guarantees Rocket ammo inside all containers.
Fortniteis available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
