Fortnite has always amazed with its quirky and fun mechanics, especially when it comes to mobility. In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, the Roly Poly bug quickly captured the hearts of players. This lively and speedy companion bug can be ridden to travel across the world. Want to move quickly or just have a cute little travel buddy? Then you definitely need to find Roly Poly. Here's everything you need to know to locate and use it in Fortnite.

Where to Find Roly Poly in Fortnite
Roly Poly is easy to spot if you know where to look. There are over 50 on the island, and they often appear in pairs, so you'll usually encounter two bugs at once. They are most commonly found near insect-related zones, but there are several places where the chance of encountering them is significantly higher. Among the most popular spawn points:
- The Hive
- Dystopia City
- Southwest of Swarmy Stash
- North of Canyon Crossing
- Ranger’s Ruin and Demon’s Debris
- West of Supernova Academy
- South of O.X.R. HQ
- Infected Outposts and Bug Nests
Each Roly Poly has a unique funny name, like Peanut, Buttons, Violet, Rocket, etc. Although this doesn't affect their characteristics, it makes each bug feel more like a pet than just a mode of transportation.
How to Ride Roly Poly in Fortnite
Using Roly Poly is as simple as any other vehicle. Approach it, press the interaction button, and you'll find yourself inside its rolled-up shell. From there, you can control movement using standard vehicle control keys:
- Jump: R2/RT/Left Mouse Button (press)
- Dive Jump: R2/RT/Left Mouse Button (press in mid-air)
- Weight Gain/Boost: R2/RT/Left Mouse Button (hold)
- Exit Vehicle: Square/X/F

Roly Poly is surprisingly fast and can cover long distances in a short time. The fun really begins when you master its unique moves. A single press of the attack button makes the bug jump, while pressing again in mid-air performs a dive jump, allowing you to fly even further.
If you hold the attack button, the bug starts to accelerate and then bursts forward with extra speed and momentum. Thanks to these combinations, Roly Poly is one of the most versatile means of transportation in the game.


What to Do If Roly Poly Gets Scared
Unlike other vehicles in Fortnite, Roly Poly has a personality—which means it can get scared. If it takes damage, it immediately rolls up and ejects you, becoming unusable. To calm it down, you need to hold the interaction button and pet the bug. After this, it will allow you to ride inside again.
Remember that each Roly Poly has a health bar. It can't be restored with regular healing items, so if the bug takes too much damage, you'll need to find another one. However, Roly Poly doesn't take fall damage and can easily roll through water, making it a reliable choice for challenging terrain.

Why Use Roly Poly
Roly Poly isn't designed for combat. It doesn't deal damage to enemies upon collision, unlike some other vehicles. Its strength lies in speed and mobility. Players can use it to escape battles, quickly cross the map, or gain height with timely jumps. Its "pet-like" nature makes it one of the most charming additions to ever appear in Fortnite.
