Fortnite Season 9 Fortbyte List: Where To Find Every Fortbyte Location

We’ve done away with the old method of unlocking the challenge skin here in Fortnite: Battle Royale season 9, and developer Epic Games is introducing something grander. They’re called Fortbytes: 100 little microchips that will eventually decrypt an image and unlock the challenge skin. Some are straightforward: place high in matches, play game, modes, complete challenges and the like.

Others are more specific, asking you to look in certain locations. There are 18 made available on day one, and Epic will be releasing “at least one” new one every day for the rest of the season, a reason to keep challenge seekers logging in on days besides Thursday.

We’ll let you know where to find them all, updated as things go on. Here’s what’s available right now:

More will be made available, and we’ll keep you updated. The number you’re looking for here is 90: that’s how many it takes to unlock the challenge skin this season as part of the Utopia challenge. It seems like the full list of Fortbytes has leaked out, which we’ll post once it’s clear what we’re looking at. Still, like with most unlocked challenges like this, it will only help you so much. You can only complete challenges as they’re made available, and so you might as well just wait for them to show up in-game.

It’s a fun new mechanic, and excited to see where it goes. It seems fairly specific to the future theme, but the developer could always deploy something similar for future seasons.

Fortnite features chickens that can be found at different points on the map, so here are all of their locations in Chapter 3, along with how you can use them to fly.

The Fortnite map features a ton of cool locations for you to visit, and you can often encounter creatures on the Island such as gigantic Klombo Dinosaurs as well as smaller animals like chickens.

While the chickens might not sound particularly notable, they can be extremely helpful in certain situations, and you’ll need to use them in order to complete the Fortnite Avian Ambush Quests.

Here’s how you can find chickens in Fortnite.

Chicken locations marked on the Fortnite Chapter 3 map

Chickens can easily be found in Fortnite Chapter 3, as their locations are spread out across the island. While they tend to spawn at random, they commonly appear in a few areas on the map.

Here are the Fortnite chicken locations:

Southwest of Greasy Grove.
Near the gas station west of Logjam Lumberyard.
At the center of the map, where Tilted Towers is currently covered by snow.
Over the river north of Rocky Reels.
Near the gas station south of Rocky Reels.
West of the Daily Bugle.

How to use chickens to fly in Fortnite

Having a chicken in your hand will make your jumps much more effective than before. This is because it will help you catch a little more air, and you can use this to cover more distance across the map.

Here’s what you need to do:

Locate and grab a chicken in the wild
While holding the chicken, launch yourself off a cliff or elevated surface
Hold on to the chicken while in the air in order to glide across the map

This trick will be useful when you find yourself getting overwhelmed by enemies or when the circle is closing in. These chickens can also be used to open Vaults filled with high-tier weapons and loot.
