The latest addition to this season's items is Nitro, a devious orange liquid sourced directly from Redline Rig. Nitro comes in two sizes: Nitro Splash and Nitro Barrel. Nitro Splashes are portable nitro canisters that a player can use on themself. Nitro Barrels are large canisters that players can run over with their cars or shoot at to explode and gain nitro effects. Nitro can be found beside the roads, in the wild, and usually beside service stations.

When used on players, Nitro increases movement speed, decreases stamina use and boosts reload speed. It also provides immunity to fall damage and explosive bashing power to break through builds when moving fast. In vehicles, nitro offers significantly increased driving speed, explosive ramming power, and an increase in fuel efficiency while providing additional buffs to the vehicle mods attached.

The Oasis is a healing body of water that replenishes your health and your shield while you're submerged in the water. It reminds many players of the hot springs seen in previous Fortnite chapters.

Players can find the round bodies of water surrounded by palm trees and greenery in the Southern part of the map, especially around the new named locations like Nitrodome and Redline Rig. They are a quick and effortless way to restore your health and shield before you continue your march down the road to victory!
