Finding and Capturing Loot Island in Fortnite

To complete one of the latest Star Wars quests, you must locate and secure Loot Island within five minutes of its appearance in Fortnite. Here’s a guide on how to achieve this.

Once again, Fortnite is teaming up with Star Wars, this time featuring new additions such as Chewbacca, the LEGO Star Wars mini pass, and the Cantina Jam Band Track. As with previous collaborations, completing quests related to the crossover will reward players with a substantial amount of XP.

One of the most recent Star Wars tasks entails assisting in the capture of Loot Island in Fortnite within a time frame of five minutes after its arrival.

By completing this quest, you will receive a reward of 5,000 XP. However, if you are a beginner, you may have questions about the island’s whereabouts and the steps to capture it within the game.

The Loot Island typically does not appear until later in the game, often after a few storm circles have passed. However, you will eventually be able to locate its location as the island’s HUD will become visible on your screen. In order to complete the quest, you must make your way there as soon as it becomes available.

There is a convenient method to reach the island which involves using a Rift that transports you high up in the sky. However, if you are concerned about drawing attention from other players due to the visibility of your glider or contrail, you can opt to take the zipline located at the base of the island’s spawn point.

Upon reaching Loot Island, also referred to as Floating Island, proceed to the main plaza where a flag-marked capture point will be visible. This designated spot is where your character must remain for a specific duration to secure ownership of Loot Island’s capture point.

The progress of your capture can be monitored by either checking the flag or the small blue indicator on your screen. It is important to keep in mind that your enemies are able to hear the capture process, so it is best to wait it out if there is chaos nearby. Although it can be dangerous at times, a place like this may also yield some of the best weapons if you are fortunate enough.
