Where to get Cluster Clingers in Fortnite and how they work

By Billy Givens December 4, 2023

Now that Chapter 5, Season 1 has kicked off, Fortnite players can start diving into an entirely new map to discover all of its secrets and try all of its weaponry. If you’re a fan of demolition and dishing out explosive damage, you may want to check out one of this season’s new additions: the Cluster Clinger. We’ll tell you where you can find them below and how to make use of them to get the drop on your opponents.

Where to get Cluster Clingers and how they work

Cluster Clingers can be found on the ground and in chests all across the island. Since they’re relatively plentiful, you’re likely to run across at least a few in most matches, making it easy to keep them on hand.

When equipped and thrown, Cluster Clingers will stick to any surface they land on and eject smaller explosives in that spot. These individual explosives can dish out some hefty damage if they all manage to hit a foe, making the Cluster Clinger an excellent choice for pushing foes out from behind cover or finishing them off after a gunfight when you’ve exhausted your ammo reserves. They can also be incredibly useful for destroying walls, floors, and ceilings to quickly expose enemies or help you rapidly relocate in the middle of a firefight.

Considering how useful they are, we’d recommend keeping a slot open for Cluster Clingers in most matches to be sure you’re always prepared. Though they come with only two per pickup, you can carry a total of four at a time, so make sure you’ve always got a full stock before heading into battle.

All cross-platform games (PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)

Two squads of heroes clash in an Overwatch 2 trailer.

Cross-platform support is becoming more important in the world of video games. Multiplayer hits like Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Fortnite have pushed crossplay into the limelight, and now most AAA multiplayer games release with at least partial cross-platform support. Finding every cross-platform game is no easy feat, though, so we did the hard work to bring you a comprehensive list of games that support crossplay.

Unfortunately, there aren't any rules when it comes to crossplay, so each game handles the feature a little differently. To make matters more confusing, certain backward-compatible games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X still support crossplay on the most recent hardware, even if there isn't an official release for that hardware.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

The latest generation of consoles has been one of the hottest yet when it comes to performance, games, price, and even looks, with some getting the side-eye when they first came out. Even so, there are a lot of folks who might want to upgrade, and there are some great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals you can take advantage of below. We've done our best to go out and find the best deals we can, although you should be aware that there's currently a bit of a Nintendo drought going on, and most deals on the Switch and its versions that are worth grabbing are refurbished.
Xbox Series S deals -- starting at $275

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

The Waterbending technique is a Mythric rarity item, but it's surprisingly common throughout the map if you're thoroughly exploring. It can be found as floor loot or in any type of chest, including Olympus Chests and Underworld Chests. You're likely to even find one in Supply Drops, too.
