Fortnite always offers fun new items that can cause players to have different effects and keep gameplay interesting. With the recent Fortnitemares event, players receive a challenge allowing them to gain 15,000 XP for using the Hop Drop’s low gravity effect 3 times. But how can players get their hands on this item, and what exactly is the Hop Drop? Here is everything players need to know about the Hop Drop low gravity effect in Fortnite.
How to Get Hop Drop Low Gravity Effect in Fortnite
To get the Hop Drop low gravity effect in Fortnite, obtain the candy in the Jack-o-Lanterns scattered on the map, or purchase the Hop Drops for 100 Gold a piece from the Curdle Scream Leader NPC.
See below for a step-by-step guide on getting the Hop Drop low gravity effect in Fortnite:
Curdle Scream Leader Location
One of the ways players can get this candy is by finding Jack-o-Lanterns that are scattered throughout the map and opening them to get candy. However, this relies heavily on RNG and doesn’t always guarantee the player finds Hop Drops. To easily complete the challenge, there is another way.
First, players must head to the area between Research Lab Minotaur and Tilted Towers. In this area, players can find an NPC named Curdle Scream Leader. Once they find Curdle Scream Leader, they can purchase the Hop Drops for 100 Gold a piece directly from them.
It is advised to fly over the area to find Curdle Scream Leader easier; this way, players spend less time in the open field looking for her. Once located, players should quickly make their purchases and move out.
Then, once players have the 3 Hop Drops, they can use them and jump 3 times. This will complete the challenge for them and earn them a hefty 15,000 XP.
What is the Hop Drop low gravity effect in Fortnite?
The Hop Drop is a special piece of candy in Fortnite that, when consumed, allows the player to jump very high up in the air. In addition to this high jump, players will receive 5 HP each time they jump.
This item can be great for players who want to avoid danger or reach one of the high-up POIs scattered throughout the map. Not only can it be used to get out of a jam, but it’s just a plain fun item to use.
