Fortnite Chapter Five, season two introduces us to the Olympian gods, Cerberus, and Midas. As the game attempts to tie this nonsensical happening into a somewhat cohesive plot, we are treated to the most mouth-watering loot the game has ever seen: Midas’ golden Drum Gun, the Chains of Hades, and the Banana of the Gods. While the first two are one of the game’s most deadly weapons, the third is a consumable you’d be wise to carry in your inventory this season. In this guide, I’ll show you everything you need to know about the Bananas of the Gods in Fortnite.

You can mostly find Banana of the Gods at two locations in Fortnite: Mount Olympus and Brawler’s Battleground. These golden bananas spawn as floor loot, inside loot chests, and produce boxes. The bananas can also spawn in other areas of the map, so you might stumble upon them even when you aren’t searching for one.

Bananas of the Gods are legendary consumables in Fortnite Chapter Five, season two. To consume one, locate it in your hotbar and right-click on PC, R2 on PlayStation, RT on Xbox, or tap the screen on Nintendo Switch.

What does the Banana of the Gods do in Fortnite?

When you consume a Banana of the Gods in Fortnite, you’ll receive the following buffs:

  1. Grants Slap Effect: gain unlimited Stamina.
  2. Restores Health over time: three HP points for 20 seconds.
  3. Increases springing speed: run slightly faster for 20 seconds.
  4. Boosts jump height: jump slightly higher for 20 seconds.

Note that this item does not restore shields at all, so save it for when you need some extra health.

The best use for the Banana of the Gods in Fortnite is to run away from an incoming storm or to quickly get to safety if you are already inside the storm. You will get some health back, a speed and jump boost, and unlimited stamina to get to the safe circle.

You also need to consume this item at least once to complete one of the Rise of Midas quests. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss the chance to get all those Midas-related cosmetics in Fortnite Chapter Five, season two.
