At the moment, the floating loot island is one of the best locations in Fortnite. It's rather similar to the floating island that was available in the game throughout Chapter 1, but is much better in terms of what you can find here.

By claiming the Capture Point on this special island, you can obtain amazing loot, including the Mythic Overclocked Pulse Rifle. Unfortunately, it'll rarely be an easy task as this island is usually contested by many other players.

Here are the steps you need to take to claim the Capture Point on the floating loot island:

1) Keep an eye on the island spawn

This particular Fortnite island spawns randomly and usually appears after a few storm circles. Its location may vary from one game to another, but the island will be marked on your map once it has spawned, which makes the process of locating it much easier. Furthermore, the floating island spawns through a rift and will make a rather loud sound.


2) Use the zipline to get to the island

To claim the Capture Point on Fortnite's floating loot island, you'll have to reach the island first. The easiest way to do this is by using one of the ziplines that connect the island to the ground.

You must approach the zipline and press the Interact button to slide up onto the island.


3) Claim the Capture Point

To claim the Capture Point on the floating loot island, you must approach the flag that's located right outside the house. Once you get close enough, you'll notice a circle around the map. You must stay in this circle for 45 seconds to claim the Capture Point and complete this Fortnite challenge.

While you're claiming this Capture point, you must ensure that you find a suitable hiding spot as it will most likely be contested by enemy players.
