All Fortnite Map Fragment Locations & How to Find Them
Last Updated: November 9th, 2026. - 6 new locations added
Fortnite Treasure Hunters hides six Map Fragments across Crossbones Isle, and one new Map Fragment appears every Sunday at the POI of the newest Captain. Two are out so far: the first sits on the lowest deck of the battleship at The $.$. Rocky, and the second is in a small shack in the southeast corner of Lil' Uzi's Stronghold.
Collecting all six earns a free loading screen called X Marks the Zero Point Sliver, and each fragment adds XP along the way. Every location is easy to grab once players know where to look, but the Captain POIs are some of the busiest drops in each match.
Fortnite Map Fragments Summary
Fortnite Treasure Hunters has six Map Fragments, and a new one arrives every Sunday on Captain's Day.
Map Fragment 1 is on the lowest deck at the southern end of the battleship at The $.$. Rocky.
Map Fragment 2 is inside a small shack in the southeast corner of Lil' Uzi's Stronghold.
Each fragment gives 10,000 XP, so all six add up to 60,000 XP.
Collecting every fragment earns the X Marks the Zero Point Sliver loading screen for free, with no Battle Pass needed.
All six need to be collected before the Treasure Hunters live event on 5 Dec 2026.
All Fortnite Map Fragment Locations
Every Map Fragment sits at the POI of that week's Captain, and each one arrives on Captain's Day:
Map Fragment | Release Date | Captain | POI | Exact Spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 Nov 2026 | ASAP Rocky | The $.$. Rocky | Lowest deck at the southern end of the battleship, next to crates and a gas canister |
2 | 8 Nov 2026 | Lil Uzi Vert and Cuddle Team Leader | Lil' Uzi's Stronghold (formerly Fortune's Fort) | Small one-door shack in the southeast corner of the fort, on the floor inside |
3 | 15 Nov 2026 | Cap'n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto | Island resort, expected to be Rubber Resort | Revealed on Captain's Day |
4 | 22 Nov 2026 | Oscar | Oscar's own ship | Revealed on Captain's Day |
5 | Not dated yet | Not confirmed by Epic yet | Not revealed yet | Revealed on Captain's Day |
6 | Not dated yet | Not confirmed by Epic yet | Not revealed yet | Revealed on Captain's Day |
Each fragment stays in the same spot in every match, and a white diamond icon with an exclamation mark appears on screen when a player gets close. Following that icon is the fastest way to find the exact spot in a busy POI, especially on the first day a new Captain arrives.
Map Fragment 1 Location: The $.$. Rocky
Map Fragment 1 is on the lowest deck of the battleship at The $.$. Rocky, the POI run by Captain ASAP Rocky on the middle-east side of Crossbones Isle. Getting there takes a few steps:
Land on or next to the grey battleship at The $.$. Rocky, and expect a fight if ASAP Rocky is still standing.
Head under the main deck using the stairs, or break the floor with the pickaxe to drop down faster.
Move toward the southern end of the ship, also called the stern, until the diamond icon appears on screen.
Find the map piece on the floor of a small room, next to some crates and a gas canister.
Hold the interact button on Gather the map fragment, and the quest counter goes up by one.
Epic introduced ASAP Rocky as the Island's first Boss, and he patrols the POI, so landing at the far end of the ship and heading straight down avoids the fight. His week also brought the Solid Gold ASAP Rocky skin as a rare chest reward across the map.
Map Fragment 2 Location: Lil' Uzi's Stronghold
Map Fragment 2 is inside a small shack in the southeast corner of Lil' Uzi's Stronghold, the fort in the north of the map that was called Fortune's Fort before Lil Uzi Vert and Cuddle Team Leader took it over. Grabbing it takes only a few steps:
Land on the southeast edge of Lil' Uzi's Stronghold instead of the middle of the fort.
Look for the small shack on the outskirts of the POI, which has just one door.
Follow the diamond icon inside the shack.
Hold the interact button on Gather the map fragment to pick it up from the floor.
Lil Uzi Vert stays on the west side of the fort and attacks on sight, so the southeast landing keeps players away from the boss. Players who want his loot should bring long-range weapons, since his new SMG is deadly up close and drops once he's defeated.
When New Map Fragments Come Out
New Map Fragments arrive every Sunday at 9 AM ET on Captain's Day, when a new Captain takes over a POI. Epic moved Captain's Day to Sundays on 4 Nov, and Saturdays now host Treasure Hours, which run twice a day and raise the odds of rare chest rewards like the Fortnite Pirate Shop token.
Epic has dated the next two Captains already. Cap'n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrive on 15 Nov, taking over the Island's resort, and Oscar arrives on 22 Nov with a ship of his own. Treasure tab's Adventure page shows five weekly Captain slots, so the fifth Captain is still on the way, though Epic hasn't named them yet.
After those five slots, the same page ends with an End of Chapter Event, and Treasure Hunters wraps up with a Chapter 7 end event on Saturday, 5 Dec 2026. Epic hasn't said if the sixth fragment is tied to that finale, so every fragment released before then is the safest one to grab right away. Players can keep track of it alongside other upcoming Fortnite live events on the calendar.
How to Collect Map Fragments in Fortnite
Map Fragments are part of Treasure Hunters, the mini-season that started with update 43.00 on 1 Nov 2026. Epic describes each one as just one piece of something bigger, and progress is tracked by a season-long quest called Collect Map Fragments, which counts up to six. Collecting one takes only a few steps:
Open the Quests tab and select Treasure Hunt, where Collect Map Fragments sits as the first card above the Treasure Chest Hunt tasks.
Land at the newest Captain's POI in a match on Crossbones Isle.
Follow the diamond icon with an exclamation mark to the fragment.
Hold the interact button on Gather the map fragment to collect it.
Checking the Quests tab after each pickup confirms the counter went up, and each fragment adds 10,000 XP to the account, which adds up nicely alongside the other fastest ways to earn XP in Fortnite. Epic hasn't confirmed if missed fragments can still be picked up later, so grabbing each one in its own week is the safest move and avoids a rush before the final deadline, when the last Captain POIs will be packed.
Map Fragments Reward
Collecting all six Map Fragments earns the X Marks the Zero Point Sliver loading screen, and it's added to the account automatically once the sixth fragment is picked up. Players don't need to buy the Fortnite Battle Pass for it, since the quest sits on the free track for everyone.
On top of the loading screen, the six fragments give 60,000 XP in total. That's less than a single Battle Pass level, which takes 80,000 XP, so the loading screen and the story behind it are the real reasons to finish the set.

Final Words
Fortnite's Map Fragments are a quick weekly task, since each one sits at the newest Captain's POI and only takes a few seconds to grab. Landing on the edge of the POI instead of the center is the easiest way to collect them without getting caught in the busiest fights.
Four fragments are still on the way, and each new spot appears as soon as the next Captain arrives. Picking them up week by week makes the X Marks the Zero Point Sliver loading screen an easy reward before the season ends.
