The Boom Bolt first became available in Fortnite during Chapter Five, Season Three. This powerful crossbow is perfect for taking down vehicles, and its use is becoming a priority for many players during a match.
Fortnite CHAPTER 5 SEASON 3 Storyline EXPLAINED & The Arrival of THE WANDERER!
Whenever a new season rolls around, I prioritize testing out the unvaulted and new weapons to get a feel for the meta. Given my love of crossbows and explosives, I knew I had to try the Boom Bolt the moment I first saw it, so my search began immediately after installing the latest update.
You can get a Boom Bolt all across the Fortnite Chapter Five, Season Three map as it spawns as ground loot and in chests. During your normal looting, you can easily find the Rare and Epic variants of the Boom Bolt.
But if you want to find the Legendary Boom Bolt, you'll need to find Ringmaster on the Fortnite map and defeat him. When Ringmaster goes down, he'll drop a Legendary Boom Bolt.
