Power Up Your Fun: How to snag Active Powercells in Fortnite Save the World
Ah, Active Powercells. Those glowing green batteries that keep your gadgets going and your traps zapping like a disco ball in a thunderstorm. But where, oh where, do you find these elusive power sources? Fear not, fellow Commander, for this guide will be your roadmap to a stockpile of powercells that would make Tony Stark jealous.
Method 1: Gnome-ing Around
Yes, you read that right. Those adorably creepy garden gnomes scattered across the map hold the key to your powercell dreams...well, a small chance at least. Bash a gnome with your pickaxe and there's a decent possibility (around 33%) it'll cough up an Active Powercell. Just be sure you're giving the gnome a good whack, not the chair it's chilling on. We wouldn't want to upset the little fella, would we?
This method is best for: Players who enjoy a spot of whack-a-gnome therapy and don't mind a bit of a gamble.
Pros: Lowers your stress levels (who knew gnome-bashing was so therapeutic?), adds a fun little scavenger hunt to your missions.
Cons: Can be a bit time-consuming, not the most reliable source of powercells (sometimes those gnomes are just plain stingy with the juice).
Pro Tip: Look for missions with "Destroy X Gnomes" as a bonus objective. Two birds, one stone, my friend. You'll be completing quests and getting powercells all at once!
Method 2: The Mission Makeover
Sometimes, good ol' fashioned mission completion is the way to go. Keep an eye out for missions that offer Active Powercells as rewards. These missions can vary depending on your location in the game, but they're generally available throughout your Save the World journey.
This method is best for: Players who prefer a guaranteed reward for their efforts.
Pros: Reliable way to get a decent amount of powercells, lets you progress through the game at the same time.
Cons: May require playing specific missions you might not find as exciting.
Pro Tip: Look for missions with modifiers that boost mission rewards. Those extra percentages could mean a nice powercell haul!
Method 3: Embrace the Eldritch Abomination (Don't Worry, It's Not That Bad)
There's a specific side quest called "Eldritch Abomination" that tasks you with eliminating a bunch of those pesky smashers, flingers, takers, and blasters. Completing this quest will net you some Active Powercells.
This method is best for: Players who enjoy a good monster bash and don't mind a slightly creepy quest name.
Pros: Rewards you for taking down some of the more annoying enemies in the game, gives you a sense of accomplishment (and powercells!).
Cons: The quest name might give you nightmares (just kidding...mostly).
Pro Tip: Destroy the Encampments mission mode is a great way to knock out this quest quickly. Those encampments are crawling with the monsters you need to eliminate.
Bonus Round: The Power of Randomness
There's always the chance you'll stumble upon an Active Powercell in the most unexpected places. Keep an eye out for them in random containers, chests, or even just lying around the environment. You never know when you might get lucky!
So there you have it, Commanders! With these tips and a little elbow grease (or gnome-bashing), you'll have enough Active Powercells to keep your traps humming and your gadgets glowing. Now get out there and save the world (with a fully charged arsenal, of course)!
