How to find Meteors in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4

Fortnite quests regularly task you with finding and interacting with unique items around the island. It’s oftentimes tricky to track them down, as you’re given no guidance to do so, as is the case with Meteors.

Some missions you encounter may ask you to search for and open Meteors, but not when or where to find these strange items. Knowing what you’re searching for is essential, so here’s how to find Meteors in Fortnite.

Where to find Meteors in Fortnite

Meteors fall down to the island after a player becomes Megazord in Fortnite. There are no set locations for them to spawn, and they can fall from the sky just about anywhere, but they tend to pop up fairly close to wherever Megazord is.

Because of this, you should head to Megazord’s location to have the best shot at finding them. Once you’re in the general vicinity of this character, look up and watch for bright orange trails falling from the sky. When you see one, make your way over to where it’s headed.

If you’re playing as Megazord, you can also use your stomping ability to instantly crush one. This action contributes progress to the Megazord quest that asks you to search Meteors, so it’s a quick and easy way to advance this mission.

Search Meteors in Fortnite

You can search Meteors by approaching them and selecting the interact button that appears next to one. It varies by platform, but it’s always displayed when you’re standing close to one. You can also just fire at them with everything you’ve got or swing at them with your Pickaxe if you prefer to use one of these methods instead.

Meteors are essentially special versions of chests that contain loot designed to help you take down Megazord so you can claim the special Boon or Medallion. The exact items each one drops varies, but you’ll generally find a powerful weapon or two, like the Leadspitter, some ammo, and some other goodies.

With some powerful new loot at your disposal, you’re ready to take on tricky endeavors all around the island. You might try working on some of the tougher missions you need to get done, like completing a Hunter SHADOW Briefing, using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match, and finishing all Egg-cellent Observations story quests.
