How to find Shiny Llamas in Fortnite in Chapter 7 Season 1
You can find Shiny Llamas across different game modes. You can get them in the Battle Royale mode (both Zero Build and traditional works). You can also find them across other official modes, including OG, Reload, and Blitz.
There are multiple instances when you can find a Shiny Llama.
- Eliminating enemies can drop these Llamas.
- You can find them from various Supply Drops and treasure chests.
- Taking down bosses in Chapter Seven, Season One can also get you Shiny Llamas occasionally.
Additionally, you can only gain Shiny Llamas when you play in a squad. Solos, Duos, and Trios won’t count. You can either matchmake with your buddies or fill in with random players. Interestingly, you’ll enjoy shared progression for the event.

In simple words, all Shiny Llamas found by your squad will count for quest progression. This will make things slightly easier if you’re looking to unlock the Starbite Slasher Pickaxe.
How to get the Starbite Slasher in Fortnite
The key to obtaining the Starbite Slasher is locked with Shiny Llamas. You’ll have to find 400 Shiny Llamas to add the Starbite Slasher pickaxe to your in-game inventory. As mentioned above, you don’t have to collect all 400 Llamas manually. The number of statues picked up by your squad will also be considered in the total tally.
