Launch Pad (Item)

The Launch Pad is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 3: Season 4.
== Functionality ==
The Launch Pad is a throwable version of the Launch Pad Trap. When thrown, it deploys a Launch Pad on the tile it has been thrown onto. The Launch Pad then acts identically. 
Unlike the trap version, the Launch Pad takes up a slot in the inventory and can be used in Zero Build.

*If being pushed by The Storm, the Launch Pad is a great help in getting out of it, due to the glider redeploy.
*The Launch Pad can be used to acquire high ground over opponents or to easily flank them due to the high mobility.
