What Does a Ship in a Bottle Do in Fortnite?

The Ship in a Bottle is one of the latest items players can collect in Fortnite battle royale. This bizarre creation is exactly what it sounds like: a ship that is trapped inside of a bottle. You might wonder why this item is so important, but there is so much more to it than meets the eye.

How to Get a Ship in a Bottle

The Ship in a Bottle is a mythic-level item you can find in battle royale matches. Though it mostly has to do with builds, you can find it in both regular battle royale and Zero Build as well. The best way to find this item is to search in as many treasure chests as you can.

More specifically, I suggest heading to a location like Shipwreck Shallows in the middle of the island. At least in my experience, this item appears to show up here much more commonly than anywhere else on the island. If I am fast enough, I have been able to find a Ship in a Bottle here every time I visit.

What the Ship in a Bottle Does in Fortnite

As for how the Ship in a Bottle works in Fortnite, it is essentially like a building destruction item in a way. When you use it, be sure you are truly ready to want to use it. The item will put you at the top of a mast of a ghost ship and you are able to somewhat guide the ship as it flies forward and destroys everything in its path.

It will deal unbelievable damage to both players and structures alike. I highly recommend saving this item until you are near the end of a match, if possible. Use this against another player(s) in one of the final circles and you will likely devastate them. It can lead to a pretty easy victory this way.

Fortnite is available for free for Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
