Best Pocket Items in Fortnite

  • The Shockwave Grenade is still the best Pocket Item, as it gives you the most accessible way to escape a gunfight or push towards one.
  • The Port-A-Cover is great for when you're pinned down, or you need structural support and cover to shoot from, or heal without risk of taking damage.
  • The Spicy Icecream can be useful if you're injured and you're not carrying heals in your loadout.
  • The Crash Pad Jr is fairly useless, and makes you an easy target to shoot even when you're using it to try to escape.
