Do you want to know how to damage an opponent with a Pod plant in Fortnite? In Chapter 4, Season 3 of Fortnite, a new biome called the Jungle biome has been added to the map. One of the challenges in this biome for week 2 is to damage an opponent with a Pod Plant. This guide will tell you how to damage an opponent with a Pod Plant in Fortnite.
How To Deal Damage to Opponents With a Pod Plant in Fortnite?
To damage opponents with the pod plants, you need to shoot the plant when opponents are near the pod plant.
Here are the steps to completing this challenge:
- Land in the Jungle biome
- Hide and keep an eye on a pod plant
- Shoot when the enemy gets close enough to the pod
Landing in the Jungle Biome
There are three points of interest in the Jungle biome. Rumble Ruins, Creeky Compound, and Shady Stilts. Fortunately, all three points are hot-drop locations, so many players opt to drop into the game starting at these points. This is also where the Pod Plants are located.
Hiding and Keeping an Eye on a Pod Plant
Find a spot where you can’t easily be spotted, but it also has to be where you can easily see a Pod Plant. You obviously won’t be able to do this by staying close to the plant. So you will have to use a Sniper for this job. Once you have positioned yourself, it’s a waiting game from this point onwards.
Shooting When the Opponent Comes Close Enough
When the opponent comes close enough to the Pod plant, it’s important to shoot it. You shouldn’t shoot the opponent first because that will give away your location, and the challenge says only to damage the opponent with the Pod plant, so it’s alright if you can’t knock down the player with Pod Plant.

What Are the Types of Pod Plants that cause damage in Fortnite?
The Pod Plants in the Jungle biome are of three types, and only two cause damage to opponents.
All three kinds of Pod plants are of different colors. There’s purple, yellow and blue.
The yellow Pod Plant deals area-of-effect poison damage. This Pod Plant releases a greenish-yellow color gas that causes damage to the opponent.
The blue plant restores your shields. The best chance of completing this challenge is with the purple color plant since you can launch the purple plant at enemies.
Fortnite is available on PC, PS4/PS5, and XBOX.
