Epic regularly unvaults cosmetics, weapons, and skins from previousFortniteseasons to bring back fan-favorite items and keep content fresh. In Chapter 5, Season 1, Epic unvaulted various items, fromthe controversial Lock On Pistolto the Crash Pad Jr. The Crash Pad Jr is a utility item designed as a more advanced version of the Crash Pad. It works to protect players from fall damage when they jump off high ground while escaping enemies.
The Crash Pad Jr holds up the potential to shake up the Battle Royale, despite many considering it an almost useless item. When players toss a Crash Pad Jr, it opens up to become a blown-up cushioned surface that softens a player’s landing. With the Crash Pad Jr’s reintroduction toFortniteChapter 5, Season 1, players are eager to get their hands on it. Here’s a guide on where you can find it on the map.
Players can findthe Crash Pad Jrin various locations across the map, including:
There doesn’t seem to be a shortage of Crash Pad Jrs thisFortniteseason, as a good number spawns in random locations on the map. Players are guaranteed to find at least one while evading the storm and defeating opponents. Players should pay attention to their surroundings and keep an eye out for Chests and Vaults hidden in cabins and houses. Players can pick up to 5 Crash Pad Jrs, which is more than enough to secure match victories.
