Ribbiting Around the Island: Everything You Need to Know About Frogs in Fortnite

Yes, there are indeed frogs in Fortnite! These small, hopping amphibians were first introduced in Chapter 2, Season 6, adding another layer of wildlife to the ever-evolving Battle Royale Island. While they may not be as imposing as a Raptor or as strategically important as a Loot Llama, frogs offer a unique element to the game, providing players with a small health boost and another creature to interact with. They add to the richness of the world.

Finding Your Froggy Friends: Where to Look

Frogs, unsurprisingly, tend to hang out near water sources. If you are trying to complete a specific challenge or simply want to interact with some of the island’s wildlife, knowing where to look is key. Here are a few prime frog-spotting locations:

• Riverbanks near The Citadel: This is a consistent spawn area, with frogs often found hopping along the water’s edge.
• Small island east of Faulty Splits: This secluded island offers a quiet habitat for these amphibians.
• Pond near Frenzy Fields: This agricultural area provides a classic frog-friendly environment.
• Lake south of Anvil Square: Another reliable location, especially around the edges of the lake.
• Multiple bodies of water surrounding The Citadel: The Citadel’s immediate vicinity is often teeming with wildlife, including frogs.

Tips for a Successful Frog Hunt

Frogs can be tricky to spot due to their small size and constant movement. Here are some tips to increase your chances of finding them:

• Listen carefully: Frogs make a distinct croaking sound.
• Visualize Sound Effects: Enable this setting in your Audio settings to see an icon appear on-screen in the direction of the croaking frog.
• Look near the water’s edge: Frogs rarely stray far from a water source.
• Be patient: They hop around a lot, so keep your eye on the area and wait for one to appear.

What Frogs Offer: More Than Just Amphibious Ambiance

While frogs might seem like simple environmental additions, they serve a purpose within the game. When eliminated, frogs drop a meat consumable. Consuming the meat restores 20 health points. While this isn’t a huge amount, it can be crucial in a pinch, providing a quick health boost during a firefight or after taking damage. Keep in mind it is not as potent as other healing items in the game.
