How to acquire the Zero Point Pretzel effect in Fortnite

The Zero Point Pretzel effect in Fortnite endows players with a powerful ability. When consumed, they'll be able to dash through the air and teleport short distances. This can come in handy when rotating to high ground or escaping from opponents.

It's no surprise that the item has been unvaulted for Fortnitemares 2022. Given that opponents with Howler Claws can use Wolfscent to find and chase down their targets, this consumable item will give players the upper hand. Here's where and how to acquire the Zero Point Pretzel effect in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

To acquire the Zero Point Pretzel effect in Fortnite, players will first have to make their way to the Flutter Barn POI. It can be found in the desert biome on the map.

Those unsure where this named location can be found should refer to their in-game map while on the Battle Bus and mark it.

Once in range on the POI, jump off the Battle Bus and dive towards the building that has a Mancake hologram above it. Land at the lowest level of the platform. Be careful not to fall off, as it's a long way down.

2) Look for the NPC known as Chrome Punk and interact with him

Once landed, look for Chrome Punk on the platform and interact with him. Be sure to keep a lookout for the NPC while landing to make finding him easier.

A conversation bubble will also be visible on the mini-map to help find the exact location of the NPC. Those who miss spotting him can refer to this bubble and find him with ease.

Once Chrome Punk has been found, interact with him and purchase three Zero Point Pretzels. They will cost 120 gold bars each, bringing the total up to 360. If gold falls short, look around for Cash Registers and Safes within the POI and search them for a top-up.

Once the Zero Point Pretzels have been purchased, players have to consume them within the span of the match to acquire the effect. While this can be done over the course of several matches, it's rather time-consuming.

Once a Zero Point Pretzel has been consumed, players should try and make good use of the effect for as long as it lasts. Once the effect wears off, use another when needed.

Consume the final pretzel to gain the Zero Point Pretzel effect in Fortnite one last time and complete this Fortnitemares 2022 challenge. Upon completion, 15,000 XP will also be awarded to the player.
