Where to Find Repair Torches in Fortnite
Unfortunately for those players looking to grab Repair Torches right away, these items appear all over rather than having a guaranteed spawning location.
After hitting the ground, players need to head to check ground loot spawn points in named locations and IO Airships to increase their chances. On top of this, Repair Torches are more likely to spawn in gas stations and garages. These are also great places tofind vehicle upgrades inFortnite.
These items glow blue and look like a blowtorch, just as their name implies. Repair Torches are picked up with 200 units of gasoline but can be refueled at gas stations. Players only have to place the torch near a gasoline pump to refill it entirely.
How to Use Repair Torches
Once in hand, the Repair Torch can help players out by either repairing any of the vehicles players encounter across the map or dealing damage to other players or items. The former is the main purpose of this item, and, with cars, watercraft, and even tanks across the area, players with a Repair Torch no longer have to worry as much abouttheir vehicle taking damage inFortnite.
For Xbox players, getting close to the damaged vehicle and pulling the Right Trigger begins the repair process. Doing the same to other players and buildings will deal a small amount of damage over time rather than repairing, however.
In general, these Repair Torches make it possible to locate one vehicle early on in a match and have it last until the very end. With IO Tanks now a powerful option brought about by thisnew resistance movement story inFortnite, the Repair Torch is an important item for players to find.
Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
