The potential comeback of Slurp Juice rakes up the excitement of the Fortnite players. There are only a few consumable items available in Fortnite Battle Royale, which help players by restoring their health and shield. Among these is the Slurp Juice that became widely popular with players before it was vaulted in Fortnite. Unfortunately, the Dr Pepper Fortnite Slurp Juice won’t happen anytime sooner or even later.
Is the Dr Pepper Fortnite Slurp Juice Real
Shattered anticipation reigns over the Fortnite community after the Dr Pepper Fortnite Slurp Juice was proven false. Rumors of this collaboration began when some users posted on Facebook a picture of Dr Pepper on slurp juice. A user wrote a caption stating, “Dr. Pepper X Fortnite for the Finale Remix: Slurp Juice Flavor” which gathered attention.
However, neither Fortnite nor Dr Pepper made an announcement about this supposed collaboration. Eventually, they found out that the photo used in the post was edited through photoshop and nowhere official.
What is the Fortnite Slurp Juice
Fortnite players first saw delight on the Slurp Juice item during the Fortnite Update v1.8 on October 26, 2017. At first, Epic Games launched this item as “Purple Stuff” for its purple substance. This is contrary to what is now popularly known for its attractive gradient blue color. This is useful for players, especially in restoring their health and shield during Battle Royale gameplay.
How Slurp Juice Works
Frequently, players utilized the slurp juice to gain significant healing advantage while in game. Through this legendary-rarity consumable, players heal by 12 effective health every second in the battlefield. Given this amount, they can earn up to a total of 240 effective health over its 20-second duration. This will restore their shield simultaneously, which made it known as a versatile healing item.
During the previous chapters, the Slurp Juice is usable at any health level where you want to redeem its effect. However, it can only be activated once at a time to prevent players from misusing or overusing this item. Interestingly, players also have the option to throw these items in case they want to.
What Happened to Fortnite Slurp Juice
After years of availability in Fortnite, Epic Games vaulted the slurp juice during the launch of Chapter 2: Season 1. Likely, they discontinued the consumable item after the introduction of the Slurpy Swamp’s healing water. Before that, the slurp juice already faced several adjustments in the updates. This includes enhancement of the healing capabilities from 20 to 25 health and shield at 1 tick per second.
Currently, the Slurp Juice is no longer available in the main Battle Royale mode after the release of Chapter 2: Season 1. Yet Epic Games created a new version of this item to use on your gameplay in LEGO Fortnite. In this, players will have to manually craft the slurp juice by using the juicer.
Conclusion
Not all rumors are leaks. The Dr Pepper Fortnite Slurp Juice post that went around the Fortnite community turned out to be edited and fake. Definitely, this news brought short-lived hope and excitement to players for the return of Slurp Juice in Fortnite. Yet, so far, Epic Games has not announced any information or details about it.
