Season 5 of Fortnite is off to an explosive start as the cracks above the Battle Royale map bring new worlds to conquer and floating lightning bolts to collect. Players who have purchased the Season 5 Battle Pass will need to find all the locations of the floating lightning bolts and collect them in order to gain some impressive rewards.
Floating Lightning Bolt Locations
Littered across the Battle Royale map in Fortnite are dozens of floating lightning bolts. In order to collect them for the Battle Pass weekly challenge, players will need to find them on the map, and then build their way up to search them. Finding a lightning bolt is as simple as looking out for a golden beam of light. There are several locations where the floating lightning bolts can be found, but to complete the challenge only 7 are required.
- A lightning bolt can be found at Junk Junction
- Northeast of Pleasant Park, between the plateau and the building is a lightning bolt
- Head to Haunted Hills to find this floating lightning bolt
- Snobby Shores’ villain hideout contains a floating lightning bolt
- Head to Loot Lake’s west dock to locate another lightning bolt
- Another lightning bolt is located in the middle of Titled Towers
- This lightning bolt can be found near the Durr Burger joint in Greasy Grove
- Northeast of Lazy Links, on the north of the map, is another lightning bolt
- Look for a floating lightning bolt west of Tomato Town
- A lightning bolt can be found above Dusty Divot’s new trees
- Head north of Salty Springs to find another lightning bolt
- Look south of Shifty Shafts to find this lightning bolt
- Another lightning bolt can be spotted northeast of Flush Factory, in the nameless town
- Northeast of Tomato Town is a lightning bolt near the cliff
- Go to Retail Row to find another lightning bolt

- Northeast of Lucky Landing is another floating lightning bolt

With all the floating lightning bolt locations in mind, begin collecting resources and build a ramp to reach these shiny beacons (or use another player’s building). Remember, only seven lightning bolts are required to complete the first weekly challenge of the Fortnite Battle Pass. This should help players get one step closer to unlocking all the new emotes, skins, and outfits! Be sure to check out the Fortnite Season 5 Patch Notes for the latest changes, fixes, and new skins!
