We’ve found a total of eight Academy Tech Labs you can visit around the island in Fortnite. Not all of them are open in each round, though, and there are generally a total of five open at a time.

The chosen Academy Tech Labs are open as soon as the round begins. Four of these locations change in each round, while the one at Supernova Academy is always available to visit. Here are all of the spots you can visit to check for them.

  • Underneath Supernova Academy.
  • North of Shining Span.
  • Southeast of Utopia City.
  • West of Outpost Enclave.
  • South of Canyton Crossing.
  • Northwest of Shogun’s Solitude.
  • West of Lonewolf Lair.
  • South of Foxy Floodgate.

The entrance to all Academy Tech Labs is marked with a large circular orb that you can enter. Once you’re inside, you’ll find the loot right down the stairs. Some of it is locked behind doors, so you need to work on increasing your hero rank to gain access to it.

Venturing to all of these locations to find the ones that are open takes quite a while, but luckily, there’s a way to check which ones are open to make finding them much easier. It’s best to learn this process so you don’t waste time traveling around the island.

How to find Academy Tech Labs in Fortnite

To determine which Academy Tech Labs are open in the match you’re playing, check for the special icon that marks these locations on the map. This icon is a vial next to the Supernova Academy circular logo. All active Academy Tech Labs in the round will be marked with this icon except for the one at Supernova Academy, which is always active.

As you open the many containers situated around these locations, you’ll find many useful items like the Surf Cube, Boons, and Myst Gauntlets. Academy Tech Labs also have an open Rift inside, so if you need to make a quick getaway or wish to swiftly travel a great distance, visiting one of these locations is a great way to do so.

When you’re done exploring these locations, you might want to get to work tackling key quests around the island for XP. Some good ones to work on are gathering the clues left by the instructorshitting hero practice targets at different hero training outposts, and assembling surveillance gear at Demon’s Domain.
