Fortnite Rare Fish Guide: Become a Pro Fisher in Chapter 2 Season 4

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 brings a ton of new fish for you to catch. There's even a separate encyclopedia tab just for fish. Which fish are the rarest? How do you get them? Here's everything you need to know to be a pro fisher in Fortnite.

If you want to be a pro fisher, first you'll need the tools of the trade. A normal fishing rod or harpoon gun won't cut it for these fish. You'll need the Pro Fishing Rod.

To get the Pro Fishing Rod, you need to upgrade a normal rod with 100 of each material at an upgrade bench, just as you would a weapon. If you're lucky, you'll also find it as floor loot or in the barrels. The only real difference is that you'll be able to catch rarer fish with the Pro Fishing Rod.

The new fish give you some special effects. Each variety of a type of fish does the same thing, no matter how rare.

• Slurp Fish - Restore 50 Health or Shield
• Spicy Fish - Restore 15 Health, increase movement speed for 45 seconds
• Hop Flopper - Restore 5 Health, low gravity for a minute

• Shield Fish - Restore 50 Shield
• Thermal Fish - Restore 15 Health, gives thermal vision for a minute
