I was sprinting across the island when the map flashed: a Rift had opened and a crowd began forming. I felt the match tilt—grab the Fruit first and you change the tempo; miss it and you chase flames. If you play Fortnite long enough, you learn to read those moments like weather.
I’ll walk you through how the Flame Flame Fruit behaves in the Treasure Hunters Mini Season, where it shows up, how to eat it and become Ace, and the small quirks that make it both thrilling and risky. I’ve tested the timing, watched raids form around the Rift, and tracked reports from Epic Games and leakers on X (like AmyFNLeaks). You’ll get what matters fast, without fluff.
Where to find Ace’s Flame Flame Fruit in Fortnite
On any given Treasure Hunters match, the minimap ping is the first hint that something rare has arrived.
The Flame Flame Fruit appears during a mid-game Rift event in the Treasure Hunters Mini Season. Epic Games drops a Rift onto the island, the mini-map pings it, and that location is briefly highlighted on the Treasure Hunters map. When someone picks up the Fruit and eats it, the game announces the new Devil Fruit user to everyone on the island.
It behaves like other One Piece fruits in Fortnite (the Gum Gum Fruit follows the same Rift pattern). The takeaway: watch the map for Rift pings, and if you see a cluster of players moving toward one spot, that’s likely the Fruit spawn.
How do I get Flame Flame Fruit in Fortnite?
If you want the Fruit, you do three things: watch the map, sprint to the Rift marker, and grab the Fruit before a squad does. You don’t buy it in a chest—this is a dynamic, mid-game event tied to rifts. Sources on X and Epic’s patch notes confirm the Fruit spawns are announced and visible on the Treasure Hunters overlay.
Quick tactics: approach from cover, clear the perimeter with a shotgun or SMG, and pick it up while watching the sky—other teams will rotate in fast. If you’re on PC, tighten your keybinds so equipping and consuming the Fruit costs no extra seconds.
How to use Flame Flame Fruit in Fortnite and turn into Ace
When someone eats a Demon Fruit mid-match, the tempo changes instantly; you can feel the map contract and expand around that player.
Equip the Flame Flame Fruit from your inventory to transform into Ace. The form grants two signature attacks.
Fire Gun (basic attack): press your Fire button to spit short-range jets of flame from your fingertips. Each hit deals 15 damage. It behaves similarly to the Finger Guns mechanic already present in Fortnite, letting you pepper foes while repositioning.
Fire Fist (special airborne attack): press ADS to leap and fire a massive fireball toward where you’re aiming. The impact is AoE and deals 100 damage to targets inside the radius. The ability has a 10-second cooldown, and you can still use Fire Gun during that interval. One small but painful detail: entering water while using the Fruit deals damage to you, so avoid lakes and flood zones while you’re Ace.
The Fire Fist is a singular AoE tool, and when it lands it can change a skirmish in an instant—like a thunderclap of heat across a tightened battlefield.
Can I use the Flame Flame Fruit for the entire duration of the Fortnite match?
Yes. Once you eat the Fruit you keep its form for the match, unless a future patch adds limits. The only recurring restriction is the 10-second cooldown on Fire Fist—the core form persists until the match ends.
Can I use two Devil Fruits in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season?
No. Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters rules let a player hold only one Devil Fruit at a time. If you already have one, you cannot pick up a second and use both in the same match.
Tactical notes, platform tips and what to watch for
On console and PC alike, the Fruit changes how teams approach the late game; I often see squads alter loadouts the moment someone becomes Ace.
Platform tips: on PC use quick keys to equip the Fruit and ADS; on controller adjust your bumper settings so Fire Fist is a one-press action. Watch for player reports on X and patch notes from Epic Games for spawn changes. Leakers on X—AmyFNLeaks among them—often post early footage; combine that with your own heat-map reads of the map to get an edge.
Use the Fruit as a zoning tool first, damage tool second. Fire Gun keeps opponents honest; Fire Fist breaks grouped teams. If you’re pushing a building, Fire Fist is the hammer—if you want to keep pressure without over-committing, use Fire Gun while you reposition like a match held near a dry thicket.
Games like this are about momentum: will you take the Rift risk and become Ace, or will you let another team claim the Fruit and try to counterplay them—what do you choose?
