Fortnite: How to consume Slap Berries in a single match

The week 12 challenges for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 are pretty straightforward. Aside from a few dodgy tasks, the majority of them are easy. That said, one involves consuming Slap Berries in a single match. While the task is undoubtedly simple, newcomers might need some help.

Finding and consuming (five) Slap Berries in a single match is by far the easiest challenge this week. With 16,000 experience points on the line, it's an easy way to earn Seasonal Levels and level up the Battle Pass.

Step-by-step guide on how to consume (five) Slap Berries in a single match in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

1) Land within the confines of the Medieval biome

The first step towards completing this challenge is to land within the confines of the Medieval biome. While this step might seem odd initially, since Slap Berries only grow in this biome, it'll make finding them easier.

That said, a good landing location would be west of Shattered Slabs. Roughly nine Slap Berry Bushes are located west of the POI. Another good location is the road leading towards Breakwater Bay. There are numerous Slap Berry Bushes on either side of the road.

2) Look for Slap Berry Bushes and interact with them to consume Slap Berries

Once a Slap Berry Bush has been found, the next thing to do is directly consume the Slap Berries or store them for later use. Since the challenge requires players to consume five in a single match, it's best to finish the task as soon as possible and get done with it. Once five have been consumed, 16,000 XP will be awarded.

Since this challenge can be completed upon landing, players can consume Slap Berries to shield up during the early game. This will save time from having to look for shield potions. Nevertheless, remember that Slap Berries only provide a miniscule amount of hit points/shield points per unit.

Is it worth keeping a stack of Slap Berries in the inventory?

Yes, it's worth keeping a stack of Slap Berries in inventory during the early game. They are handy when in a tight spot despite only providing five hit points/shield points per unit. With the ability to stack 15 of them in one inventory slot, that's 75 points worth of healing. When low on medical items or shield potions, they can be a real lifesaver.

In addition to providing hit points/shield points, they also freeze the stamina bar. This allows players to Sprint for a short duration without using their stamina. When combined with the Soaring Sprints Reality Augment, it makes the user highly mobile and agile.

In combat and situations where rotation is of the essence, Slap Berries help in their own small way to contribute to the grand scheme of things. Be that as it may, it's always best to find and store Slap Juice whenever possible. It's a major upgrade over Slap Berries and is much more useful overall in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.
