Looking for a speed boost? This article explains how to get and use Nitro in Fortnite.
Fortnite Wrecked has brought a lot of new stuff to the game. Now everything revolves around vehicles: how to deck them out, get new ones, fix them, and more. With new bosses having their own cars, it is essential to keep up with them. And to help you out with that, we got Nitro. So, read on to see how to get and use Nitro in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: How to Get Nitro – Nitro Splash, Nitro Barrels, and More.
Nitro is a new power-up in Fortnite Wrecked. Besides the advantages it offers, you also need it for a couple of quests, so let’s see how to get it.
- Nitro Splash – This is a “consumable” that you find all over the map. You can find it on the ground, when opening a chest, or in any other way that grants general loot. Throw the Nitro Splash on yourself or your car to get the Nitro buff.
- Nitro Barrels – Barrels are the “static” sources of Nitro. They can be found all across the map, but usually in places where you modify and refuel vehicles – gas stations and the like. Smashing a Nitro Barrel (either with your Pickaxe or by driving over it) will grant you the Nitro buff.
- Flaming Boost Hoops – These hoops are large flaming rings scattered all over the Island. You can pass through them (either on foot or in a car) and you will get the Nitro buff.
- Wasteland Warriors Boss Cars – Each of the three new Bosses in Fortnite Wrecked has its own car. When you defeat them, they will drop a Medallion that you can use to open their personal garage and steal their ride. Each Boss car is under the effects of Nitro indefinitely.
- Megalo Don’s Medallion – besides opening garages, each Medallion grants you a unique bonus. The Medallion that you get when you defeat Megalo Don grants you a constant Nitro buff.
How to Use Nitro in Fortnite – Nitro Effects
The effects of Nitro depend on whether it is applied to the player or the vehicle. If you are under the effects of Nitro, your character portrait/stamina bar will turn fiery orange, and you will see flames around your feet. If the vehicle is Nitro-fied, the fuel bar will change color, and the wheels will start to burn.

| Vehicle | – Increased driving speed – Ramming deals massive damage and knockback – Decreased fuel consumption – The attached vehicle attack mods are buffed |
