Fortnite capture point locations
Capture points are located at each named area on the current Chapter 4 Season 1 map. If you open your map, any landmark with white or yellow writing will have a capture point.
We suggest landing at a landmark with white writing on the map, as this means you’ll avoid yellow-colored hotspots where lots of people will land for better loot – making it harder to claim a capture point, because it takes time to do that. Hot Spot locations change randomly every game.
Here are all the named locations where you can find a capture point at the time of writing:
- Anvil Square
- breakwater bay
- Brutal Stronghold
- Defective Divisions
- Frenzy Fields
- Lone Labor atories
- Broken slabs
- Snapping shores
- The Citadel
Once you go to a location with a capture point, you will then need to claim it for loot or to complete challenges…

How to Claim Capture Points in Fortnite
Capture points are the small circles found around a long pole containing a flag. To claim a capture point in Fortnite, you must stay in the circle around the flag until it is hoisted to the top of the flagpole, which takes about 45 seconds. Capturing will take longer if you leave the circle, as the flag will start falling.
Once the flag is fully raised, loot will spawn around it. This includes weapons of various rarities, ammo, gold bars, and health and shield items. Enemies in the area will also be marked for 30 seconds.
If another player claimed a capture point before you got there, you will no longer be able to raise the flag to capture it. You’ll either need to travel to another named landmark on the map to find another, or exit and try again.
