Where to find a Zero Point Shard in Fortnite

A Zero Point Shard can be found right in the center of the Lethal Labs POI, which is in the middle of the island. This location is a bit of a maze, with many different levels you can explore to uncover secrets, but luckily, the Zero Point Shard is right on the surface.
You can find the Zero Point Shard floating in the air right under the Dark Harvester spaceship owned by the Dark Voyager. The shard is broken into two pieces and has a shiny grey shell with bright pink crystals inside. There’s also a rainbow effect surrounding it, so once you’re in the right area, you can’t miss it.
Touch a Zero Point Shard to investigate its mysterious effects in Fortnite
To complete the touch a Zero Point Shard to investigate its mysterious effects quest, you need to interact with the Zero Point Shard one time. This can only be done by bumping into it, but since it’s suspended way up in the air, you’ll basically need to fly into it, which means you must carefully strategize a way to reach it.
The first method, and generally the easiest, is to fly into the Zero Point Shard straight out of the battle bus. This guarantees you can check off the quest early on without the assistance of any additional items.
If you can’t run into it right away, you’ll need some kind of elevation item to get you up there. Usually, a Wingsuit is the best bet, as you can climb up onto a roof nearby, soar up into the air, and weave your way through the sky until you’re positioned right over the shard. Make sure you don’t run into the Dark Voyager’s ship with this method.

Other options like Shockwave Grenades or Launch Pads work too, but they can be a bit more finicky to use correctly, so the first two choices are always going to be your best bet. You’ll also want to ensure you get this quest done as early on in the match as possible. If you don’t, this location may end up in the storm, at which point you’ll have trouble reaching it and surviving long enough to get this mission done.
If you’re looking for more tasks to check off after completing this mission, there are lots of quests to get done around the island.
