Fortnite Season 4: Fish Buffs

Fortfish — Fish to get great buffs then win (Image credit: Epic Games)

If you have the time during a match, then make sure to fish up these little fish to get a sweet buff and dominate the lobby. You’ll need a fishing rod to catch the different fish so make sure to grab one before you set out. We have a quick guide to what each buff the fish in Season 4 gives you.

Before we cast off and talk about the little fish here are some general tips:

Most fish can be caught from any water located on the map
The time of day does not impact what fish you catch but can affect the color variation
There are only 8 kinds of fish but many color variations that have the same effect
There are also forest, mountainous, swamp and coastal fishing spots these determine the color of fish you will get.
The Pro Rod gives you a better chance to catch rare fish
