New to Fortnite Season 9 are Fortbytes, collectibles released throughout the season that slowly reveal a mysterious picture. What that picture is and why it matters are unknown, but here’s what we do know: collecting Fortbytes unlocks new styles for Season 9 cosmetics. Gotta look good in battle royale and creative mode. Earning most Fortbytes is a matter of attrition—leveling up, placing in the top 10, reaching higher battle pass tiers—so this guide will focus on where to find Fortbytes hidden around the map. We’ll be sure to update with every Fortbyte location as soon as they’re unlocked, so you’ll want to keep tabs on this guide.
Today’s new Fortbyte: Fortbyte 26 location – Accessible with the Bunker Jonesy outfit near a snowy bunker
For this Fortbyte, just float down to the southernmost island. You’ll find the Fortbyte in the tiny shack. Make sure you’re dressed as the bearded Bunker Jonesy beforehand.
Keep scrolling for the full list of hidden Fortbytes so far.
Fortbyte 6 location – Accessible with the Yay! emote at an ice cream shop in the desert
Head to the ice cream shop west of the race track and use the Yay! emote just inside the front door for an easy Fortbyte.
Fortbyte 7 location – Accessible by using the Cuddle Up Emoticon inside a rocky umbrella
Head to the umbrella-shaped mine just southeast of The Block. You’ll find the Fortbyte right above the entrance to the cave at the umbrella’s ‘handle’. Use the Cuddle Up emote to claim the Fortbyte.
Fortbyte 8 location – Found within Junk Junction
Head into the main building at Junk Junction. It’s on the bed. Easy-peasy.
Fortbyte 13 location – Found at a location hidden within Loading Screen 2
Collectibles and human waste complement one another very well, and this Fortbyte is a perfect example. Head to the three dinos south of Paradise Palms, then check out the outhouse behind the visitor center. The Fortbyte is hidden inside.
Fortbyte 16 location – Found in a desert house with too many chairs
Head to the unnamed ghost town at the southeast corner of the map. The building you’re looking for is at the southern edge of town, and you’ll know it from the armchairs on the roof…and blocking nearly every entryway. Head inside for the Fortbyte.
Fortbyte 17 location – Found inside a wooden fish building
To find this Fortbyte, head to the hot springs just northeast of Lazy Lagoon. You’ll find it inside of the wooden fish. Check the tail.
Fortbyte 22 location – Accessible by using Rox Spray in an underpass
Head to the southwestern half of Neo Tilted and look for the pictured red truck. Just below you’ll find the Fortbyte. Use the Rox Spray on the wall to claim it.
Fortbyte 24 location – Found within Fatal Fields
This Fortbyte’s an easy get. Just head to the house at Fatal Fields and you’ll find it behind the drafting board on the second floor.
Fortbyte 26 location – Accessible with the Bunker Jonesy outfit near a snowy bunker
For this Fortbyte, just float down to the southernmost island. You’ll find the Fortbyte in the tiny shack. Make sure you’re dressed as the bearded Bunker Jonesy beforehand.
Fortbyte 31 location – Fount at a meteor crater overlook
Head to the ruined building overlooking the northern edge of Dusty Divot. You’ll find the Fortbyte on the metal grating near the diagram.
Fortbyte 32 location – Accessible by wearing Kyo Pet Back Bling at the northern most point
Make sure you’re bringing the Kyo pet back bling along for the ride, then float down to the edge of the island slightly northeast of Junk Junction to claim the Fortbyte.
Fortbyte 36 location – Accessible by Sentinel on a frozen island
Dress as Sentinel to claim this Fortbyte. There are only two frozen islands on the map, so head to the westmost berg and you’ll find the Fortbyte behind the rocks on its southern tip.
Fortbyte 41 location – Accessible by using Tomatohead Emoticon inside the DurrBurger restaurant
Back to Neo Tilted for another Fortbyte. This one is located on the first floor of the DurrBurger, which is nearly impossible to miss. Just look for the massive hamburger hologram in the sky. Use the Tomatohead emote near the Fortbyte to claim it.
Fortbyte 47 location – Found between a Reboot Van, pirate camp, and a crashed battlebus
For this Fortbyte, it’s easiest to start at the pirate camp west of Lazy Lagoon. Head directly south into the jungle. The Fortbyte is hanging out where the dirt path splits.
Fortbyte 50 location – Accessible at night time inside mountain top castle ruins
This Fortbyte’s easy to find, but not necessarily easy to claim. Head to the ruined castle east of the Haunted Hills graveyard. Head to the rooms opposite the throne (where the marker is in the picture below) and you’ll find the Fortbyte waitin’ for a claimin’. Thing is, it has to be night. You can try your luck by waiting, but queuing up for another match might be a better idea. Eventually you’ll get one that starts at night.
Fortbyte 55 location – Found within Haunted Hills
This Fortbyte is hidden in the building just east of the church in Haunted Hills. Make sure it’s not a ghost, then claim it.
Fortbyte 64 location – Accesible by Rox on top of Stunt Mountain
Another simple Fortbyte. Just dress up as Rox and head to Stunt Mountain, the one with the ring of trees and ramps and driftboards just south of Pleasant Park.
Fortbyte 72 location – Found within Salty Springs
You’ll find this one in an overturned car in Salty Springs, out in a fairly open area, near some orange barriers. Simple stuff.
Fortbyte 74 location – Found in a filing cabinet inside an assassin’s basement on the desert coast
We’re visiting John Wick’s place for this Fortbyte. Just head to the coastal home east of Paradise Palms. You’ll find the Fortbyte in a filing cabinet in the basement, as advertised.
Fortbyte 77 location – Found within a track side taco shop
No frills here. Just land at the taco shop on the western edge of the race track in the desert region. Head inside to claim the Fortbyte.
Fortbyte 79 location – Found within an arcade
Time to go shopping. Head to Mega Mall and look for the holographic Tomato Head. Head to the first floor terrace across the mezzanine from out big red sauce god and you’ll find the arcade. The Fortbyte is right behind the counter.
Fortbyte 81 location – Accessible in the daytime near a mountain top cactus wedge
This one is all about timing, with a little luck. To collect the Fortbyte, head to the mountain just southeast of Paradise Palms. It’s sitting in the skeleton near the southern edge. The big caveat: it’s gotta be daytime. Hopefully it’s day when you land, otherwise you’ll need to wait around and hope everyone has the same goal in mind.
Fortbyte 82 location – Accessible by solving the pressure plate puzzle NW of The Block
You’ll need friends or some kind strangers to get this Fortbyte. As the prompt says, head northwest of The Block into a small grove of trees. Three pressure plates surround the Fortbyte, which isn’t activated until all three plates have someone standing on them. Squad up, if you can, and take turns standing on plates while one person grabs it. It’s possible to grab in Solos while the challenge is still fresh, too, assuming enough friendly folks land there with the same goal in mind.
Fortbyte 88 location – Found somewhere within map location J3
The description does most of the work. Let rocks do the rest. Head to square J3 east of the Pressure Plant. The Fortbyte is right on the edge of the forest near a trio of rocks.
Fortbyte 92 location – Accessible by using Rock Love Spray near a lavafall
To find Fortbyte 92, you’ll need to have the Rock Love spray equipped. It’s one of the first items in the battle pass, so you likely have it already. The Fortbyte is located at the mouth of the lava river just south of the Pressure Plant. Spray the lovely painting somewhere nearby and the Fortbyte will activate. Kiss it tend—er, I mean, claim it.
