Fortnite Bottle Rockets back to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year

Two days before the official start of the Chinese New Year and its festivities, Fortnite opens the ball by reintroducing a vaulted item: the Bottle Rockets. Find all the information about this pocket mortar in our dedicated article.

Fortnite Bottle Rockets back to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year

It's been weeks since we've had a reintroduction of a vaulted weapon into Fortnite. It's through the Chinese Lunar New Year event that we'll have the opportunity to (re)discover the Bottle Rockets. This miniature artillery piece will continuously rain fire on a targeted area for almost 10 seconds. Knowing the popularity of grenades to flush out targets or destroy cover, we can only be happy to see this item back into our arsenal.

Statistical overview of the item

  • Rarity: Uncommon
  • Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Llamas, and Supply Drops.
  • Drops in stacks of 2.
  • Max stack size of 6.
  • Fires 45 rockets of varying speeds randomly within a cone over roughly 9 seconds.
  • Deals 10 player and 40 environmental damage per explosion.
  • Max 2 active per player.
All Fortnite Chinese New Year skins have been leaked

The Chinese New Year event is coming soon in Fortnite. To celebrate the Year of the Rat, Epic Games will once again offer a series of skins in the colors of Chinese culture — a culture that will be highlighted during this event.
