Fortnite Jack O’ Lantern Locations
Jack O’ Lanterns can be found pretty much all over the Fortnite map, but there are certain places where they can be found in greater numbers. In general, Tilted Towers
Jack O’Lanterns can be found high up or on the ground. They appear fairly regularly in front of houses, so anything with an old door and porch is worth checking out. In Tilted, the streets are the best place to find Jack O’ Lanterns dotted around. Fort Jonesy is a particularly good place to find them, especially in the northwest corner of the main area.
