Fishing Rod

The Fishing Rod is a Ranged Consumable item that players can use in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 1.
==Functionality==
The Fishing Rod is used mainly to fish, but can also be used to pull items or opponents closer to the player, dealing no damage.
When using a Fishing Rod on open waters, the bobber will randomly sink into the water after a short period of time. Using the attack button at this instance will pull the line back and give the player an item. Using the rod on calm water will result in low tier loot, but using it on a Fishing Hole will award higher tier loot. The Player is able to move whilst fishing, but must stay close to avoid the line breaking.
==Stats==
The Fishing Rod deals no damage and can be used an unlimited amount of times.

==Strategy Guide==
*The Fishing Rod can be used to deal damage to an enemy player by pulling them off a high structure, or be used to pull a knocked opponent close to you to easier obtain their loot. However this is very impractical.
*The Fishing Rod can be used to obtain ammo or healing if you have some downtime in a match, however, you are very vulnerable when doing so.
