After receiving this notification, players must navigate to the portal’s location on the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 map. The attached image provides a guide to identifying the portal. Since the portal can spawn anywhere, it is advisable to have a vehicle at your disposal to reach the destroyer before other players.
