How to find and use a repair lamp in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2

Worrying about a vehicle breaking down in Fortnite is now a thing of the past. One of several items added to Chapter 3 Season 2 is the tiny but fearsome Repair Torch. As the name suggests, the tool can completely whip cars into shape. However, it can also perform some other useful tricks.

Like the newly added Cow Catchers, Repair Torches will most likely spawn in Garages and Gas Stations. It also has a high chance of being ground loot in named locations and IO airships. Players can use it to repair vehicles by simply shooting the torch near the ride they want to fully heal. The Repair Torch is capable of repairing cars, Quadcrashers, and even IO tanks – potentially allowing players to only use one vehicle for an entire match.

Since it’s a torch, the item can even be used as a weapon. For example, if the flame of the torch touches a building or an enemy, the target will take damage and even create uncontrollable wildfire around the torched area.

It’s important to realize that repair torches have a catch. Like cars, the item only works when filled with gasoline. Once drained, it cannot be used to heal vehicles or set items on fire. In this case, players can go to the nearest gas station and place the torch near one of the gas pumps to fill it up completely.
