Get Fortnite Boogie Bombs from chests then toss them out at your foes and at IO Outposts to complete some weekly challenges. In case you didn't know, Boogie Bombs are a weapon similar to a grenade, but make people dance uncontrollably rather than deal damage with an explosion. While rival combatant are cutting shapes, they can't shoot back, heal, or doing anything besides move for a limited amount of time. You'll need to find Boogie Bombs to complete a couple of weekly challenges too - hitting three opponents with bombs and lobbing one out at an IO Outpost - so we've got some advice for both finding Boogie Bombs and completing the two challenges below.
Where to find Boogie Bombs in Fortnite
Fortnite boogie bomb locations are, as far as we know, only found in chests. There's no particular pattern beyond this that we know of, unfortunately - you can technically find them anywhere but they're a rare drop. So the best thing to do is to is open as many chests as possible until one drops the Boogie Bombs you're looking for. If you're struggling, just make it a priority to chase down chests until you get lucky. So maybe hit some of the more built up areas, where you might be able to find and clear through a few chests in a small area in a building, while slightly shielded from the outside world. They stack too, so you should be able to stockpile a few if you get lucky, giving you more chances to get a hit.
How to make opponents dance with Boogie Bombs in Fortnite
Throwing Boogie Bombs is easy but did you know you can throw consumable pickups in Fortnite too?
To make opponents dance with Boogie Bombs in Fortnite, throw the Bomb like a grenade and any opponents caught in its harmless blast radius will be forced to dance uncontrollably. This lasts for five seconds, or until the dancing target takes damage (whichever happens first).
Dancing might sound fun, but it has several downsides for the affected person. It forces them to move (though they can choose which direction), and prevents them from taking any actions - building, shooting, healing, etc. It's a good way to flush opponents out of cover while preventing them from doing anything of value in the process.
If you're looking to complete the week 13 challenge, you must get yourself a Boogie Bomb and then need to throw it out while you're in one of the Fortnite IO Outposts. That's it. Do that and you'll get an easy 15,000 XP.
One of the earlier week 8 Fortnite quests requires you to hit three opponents with this effect and make them dance. This is clearly a very contextual challenge that'll depend on how you encounter opponents in Fortnite, but considering you're effectively trying to get as many people in a blast radius as possible, you should look for small, confined areas with limited mobility - rooms, towers, bunkers, etc - and try to get your enemies to group up so you can throw the Boogie Bomb into the middle of them. Ambushes also work well - hit your opponents with the blast before they realise they're under attack and scatter.
It's also important to remember that the affect of the Boogie Bomb works on allies as well, meaning your poor teammates can be forced to dance if caught in the blast zone. However, this won't help you with the quest either - the wording is very clear that you have to hit opponents with the bomb.
Thankfully the week 8 challenge doesn't require you to trigger three dances in a single match, so given enough time you should manage it. Of course, to do that, you'll need a Boogie Bomb (or more) in the first place.
As Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 3 nears its finale, there's not much time to get these challenges and any other done. Make sure you've completed the Fortnite Indiana Jones quests, and have solved the Fortnite secret door puzzle before the battle pass goes away.
