Fortnite Port-a-Fort Item Gives Players Instant Cover

fortnite port a fort

The Fortnite Port-a-Fort item is coming soon to the Battle Royale experience. Appearing on the in-game menu, the Port-a-Fort is a “portable fort [that] sprouts a quick defensive position upon impact.”

If you’re a bit slow when it comes to building walls as a defensive tactic, the Port-a-Fort item should make the whole thing a lot easier. I think this item will be a favorite for newcomers, until they get used to quickly throwing down four walls around them. Veterans will likely find it a bit useless, but fun to experiment with.

As for the Fortnite Port-a-Fort release date, players should expect to see the new item added to the game by the end of the week, if Epic Games follows the usual trend.

In other Fortnite news, the game’s April Fool’s Day event was subtle yet fun, there’s a Boogie Down contest that rewards players with their own custom in-game emote, and a new Battle Royale vending machine item has been spotted.
