Clinger

Clinger is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Season 3.
==Functionality ==
A Clinger when thrown will stick to any surface it comes in contact with, whether it is a structure, a player or a vehicle. After around three seconds, the clinger will detonate, dealing damage to whatever it has stuck to, unless it was thrown at a friendly player. Doing any Emotes will cause the Clinger to fall off the player it had stuck to.
If the surface a clinger is stuck to is destroyed before it detonates, the clinger will drop to the ground. The timer for detonation only starts upon contact with a surface.

==Strategy Guide ==
*Clingers are useful for high action engagements, as knowing you have stuck a player with a clinger allows you to focus on another target.
*You can stick a Clinger to a friendly player and have them run towards an enemy, similar to an EMP Stealth Camo. This is useful as the friendly player receives no damage.
*Clingers are especially useful inside enclosed spaces such as Vaults.
*If you have extra Clingers or do not want to carry them, it may be best to throw them into a building or bush in case anyone is hiding nearby.
*Clingers can be extra useful in Zero Build, since they can force opponents out of bushes and Port-A-Bunkers.

==Trivia== 
*Clingers are the projectile shot by the Boom Sniper Rifle. They function identically, aside from the Sniper's ability to launch the clingers much further and faster.
*The idea of a "grenade on a stick" (in the Clinger's case, a plunger) is similar to the German Stielhandgranate.
*In Update v2.50, A pre release version was added called "Sticky Grenade" which was .https://youtu.be/ZIf03yTuIZ8?si=G_qKmZCWaPMQAOp0
