The Leekcapper has finally arrived in the Treasure Hunters season, and it’s a wonderful weapon to yield in Fortnite. However, there’s more than one reason behind getting this weapon, and more so if you’re looking to farm season XP by completing different quests.
While you’ll need to use the weapon to board a ship, let’s find out first how you can get the Leekcapper.

How to get the Leekcapper in Fortnite
Despite the usefulness of the Leekcapper, there’s no guaranteed way to get the item. Here are all the known sources of this weapon.
- Chests
- Rare Chests after completing Vaults.
- Random loot on the ground
- Spawns from other human players after elimination
For me, the weapon was available on the ground at the Friendship Villa POI, but the location will be completely random. Try opening as many chests as possible, and look for it as enemy drops as you traverse the island map.
How to use the Leekcapper to board a ship in Fortnite

There are five ships located all around the island map, with four of them in the southern half. If you want to find these ships quicker, you can refer to the locations marked on the image below. Suffice to say, you’ll want to stick to the southern areas of the map.
Once you have the Leekcapper, just board any of the ships, and it will complete the quest. Only the five ships shown on the map qualifies for the quest, so you’ll need to be specific.
