Every Season Of Fortnite, Ranked
Fortnite is one of the most popular games and part of this is due to the game reinvigorating itself with season updates.
Even though loot islands have been revamped since they were first put in the game, they are still worth visiting if you’re nearby. This guide will tell players everything they need to know about the floating loot islands in Fortnite so that they can claim them.
Updated on May 7, 2024, by Ashely Claudino: The floating loot island provides various services that make it worth the risk, which is why so many players try to claim it mid-match. This guide has been updated with even more informative content so gamers can best prepare themselves before heading towards the loot island.
How to Find the Loot Island in Fortnite
The loot island gives players a chance to get their hands on guaranteed high-rarity loot, tons of chests, and a Mod Bench. The floating island will start to rift onto the Fortnite island once the third Storm Circle closes, which means gamers will only be able to come face to face with it if they make it to the end-game phase of the match.
A marker will appear on the player’s map once a Loot Island is about to appear on the map. They should always consider going there if they are nearby, as it can provide a clear advantage when continuing the match afterward. It is important to be cautious when approaching the island, as enemies might have already reached and claimed the location.
How to Get Onto the Loot Island and Claim It
The island floats, and it will spawn high up in the sky. In order to reach it, players can either take the ziplines that are attached to it all around or use one of the rifts that will also be on the ground nearby.
Players can claim this location by standing near the Capture Point until the meter is full. Once they’ve done this, loot will pop out of it. On top of this, all chests in the nearby area will be highlighted as well as any enemy players that might appear.
Gamers don’t need to capture the loot island to use its Mod Bench, so if it’s already been claimed once they get there, they can still take advantage of this useful feature.
