This is a mysterious item that was data mined during the night following the arrival of the v9.30 patch notes. A grenade with a missile drawn on it called "Air Strike".
We can assume that once launched it will create smoke that will tell the game's airships where to drop their bombs. A real bombing attack will then fall on the unfortunate team that did not clear the area quickly enough.
It could also be launched to cover a retreat: Fortnite players tend to risk a lot for a kill, but few are willing to walk in the middle of a bombing attack to pursue an opponent.
Will it be possible to survive by building, or will the missiles destroy everything in their path?
