If you’re getting ready to celebrate Fortnite’s 7th birthday, you might think about having some fun with balloons – or even using them to soar around the map.
The Birthday update introduces some changes. The new balloons differ from the ones you previously equipped, but they still serve their purpose well.
In this guide, we’ll outline where to locate these balloons to pop and how to gain some airborne mileage with them in Fortnite.
How to Pop a Balloon
Keep an eye out for balloons adorning major POIs.
You can discover balloons at most named points of interest in Fortnite, particularly in areas where Birthday Cakes are present. Here are ten locations where you can spot balloons:
- The Underworld
- Grim Gate
- Doomstadt
- Castle Doom
- Restored Reels
- Reckless Railways
- Great Glacier
- The Raft
- Mount Olympus
- Redline Rig
Balloons are typically found decorating stairs, fountains, walls, and various buildings within these major points of interest. They are usually arranged in groups of three, and each balloon contributes to the balloon-specific quest.
Once you find some balloons, you can either strike them with your pickaxe or shoot them with a weapon to pop them. After popping seven, you will have completed one of the Birthday quests in Fortnite.
How to Travel the Distance While Airborne with Balloons
The Birthday Medallion grants you balloons.
You cannot collect the balloons that adorn the POIs. To complete this quest, you must find a legendary gift box located in chests or as floor loot. These gifts appear small initially; however, they become quite large once thrown.
After tossing the gift box, break one of its walls to reveal the Birthday Medallion inside, which grants you balloons for floating across the Fortnite map.
Now that you are informed about balloons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, you may want to learn more about the Siphon Trials.
