With so many items available around the map, it can be tricky to figure out what common items actually are. This task is easy enough once you know what it’s asking you to do, so here’s how to toss common items at Doomstadt in Fortnite.

To complete the toss common items at Doomstadt quest in Fortnite, drop a total of five common items at this location. There are a few key steps in this process and a couple of different ways to complete it, so here’s a full breakdown of how to finish this quest.

  • Land at Doomstadt. This location is near the top northwest corner of the map, just east of Rebel’s Roost, where Mysterio hangs out.
  • Find a common item. This includes any item that has grey coloring around it and says the word common underneath its name. Common guns are usually the easiest to find, but any common item works for this task.
  • Toss, drop, or swap the common item out. There are a few different ways you can finish this task.
    • To toss an item, hold down the aim button to position it and press the fire button to shoot it, just like you would when shooting a gun. This only works with consumables like Bandages.
    • To drop an item, open your inventory, select the common item, and drag it out to drop it on the ground. You can also locate the drop item option near the bottom right corner of the screen and press the corresponding button.
    • To swap an item, find a different item around the map with a full inventory and switch it with your common item by picking it up.

Regardless of which method you choose, I recommend picking up the same item over and over so you don’t have to find more than one common item around the map. This is the quickest and most efficient way to complete this task.

What are common items in Fortnite?

Common items are all grey. This can be guns, Bandages, food, and anything else you come across that doesn’t have another color assigned to it and says the word common on it.

As the name suggests, common items are quite common which means you should have an easy enough time finding them. There are usually lots of common guns and bandages scattered around, so grab the first one you find to repeatedly pick it up and drop it to finish this task.

With this quest out of the way, you can move on to completing other tasks around the island. Some important ones to work on are becoming Doom’s Chosen, surviving fire damage, and hiring characters or recruiting defeated henchmen.
