This guide shows players where they can find Capture Points in Fortnite and exactly how to claim them. While it can take some time, it's definitely worth it, as it grants them tons of loot and highlights chest containers on their map.

How to Claim Capture Points in Fortnite

At certain named locations, gamers will find an interesting flag, and if they approach it, it will begin to rise. These areas are called Capture Points, and gamers can claim them to receive some relatively rare loot in the early game.

To claim a Capture Point in Fortnite, the only thing that players need to do is stay within the white circle surrounding the flag pole until it reaches the top. This process takes approximately 40 seconds to claim a Capture Point in Fortnite, but if players need to leave for any reason, such as the Storm Circle closing in on them or an approaching opponent, the flag will remain in place. Then, they must return and continue to claim it.

Once a Capture Point has been claimed, loot will pop out of the flagpole and chests in the named locations will be highlighted on the player's map for the next minute.
