Boom Bolt Damage

There are multiple ways to deal with explosive damage inFortnite, starting with the Boom Bolt, one of the weapons introduced with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 3.

The Boom Bolt can wreck absolute menace if used correctly. Instead of the regular crossbow bolts, the weapon uses rockets as ammo to deal explosive damage.

Grenade Launcher Turret Damage

Another way to inflict explosive damage upon your enemies is toinstall the Grenade Launcher Turret mod on a vehicle. This turret will sit on the roof slot of the car, and players can then start shooting explosive projectiles from the comfort of their cars simply by moving over to the passenger seat.

On top of the fact that you have to give up control of the vehicle if players solos, another caveat is the fact that the projectiles are a bit slow, which as a result causes a lot of bullet drop. However, aiming above it to counteract the negative effects should be enough to sort that.
