As part of the Grade 2 Break the Curse event quests, Fortnite players will have to find Epic or rarer items within 20 seconds of landing after leaving the Battle Bus. As players loot their surroundings throughout a game, they will acquire progressively better loot, but in the early game, this is much harder to do since high-rarity loot has diminished chances of appearing, especially as floor loot.
This guide will show players how they can guarantee that they'll get their hands on high-rarity loot as soon as they land in Fortnite, and it'll also give them a few tips on how to grab good loot right in the early game.
How to Quickly Find An Epic Rarity Item Upon Landing
Players that are interested in learning how to get an Epic rarity as soon as they hop off the Battle Bus so that they can complete the Jujutsu Kaisen Grade 2 quest will be happy to know that there is a way to nearly always guarantee that they'll get it. There are a few locations on the Fortnite map that have guaranteed Epic rarity loot spawns, so gamers can go there until they've completed the quest.
Kinetic Boomerang Stands are locked to the same locations, and they always spawn. They might only provide the Kinetic Boomerang, but since it's an Epic rarity item, it's enough to complete the quest. Players can find these stands near Shady Stilts, Sunswoon Lagoon, Rumble Ruins, and The Apparatus landmark.
There is also a Kinetic Boomerang Stand inside the Southern Ruin and the Northern Ruin, but gamers would have to find rare loot to open the temple door and reach it, so these spawns wouldn't be useful for this quest in particular.
Players only need to repeat this task three times to complete the quest. So, with this trick, they can get their Cursed Energy for the Jujutsu Kaisen Battle Pass within three games.
Other Useful Methods
There are other ways to find high-rarity weapons in the early game, and they can be useful for players that have already finished the Jujutsu Kaisen quest.
There are various NPCs on the Chapter 4 Season 3 Fortnite map, and they tend to sell decent weapons. Gamers can land near the characters that have weapons of their liking and purchase them in order to start the game on the right foot. This is also a great way to get rid of gold bars before the end of a season.
Exotic rarity weapons are considered high-rarity as well; they just have unique abilities.
There is another way to find good weapons for gamers who don't have that much gold lying around. When flying above the island after leaving the Battle Bus, players can glide quite a bit before reaching the ground, and this allows them to get a pretty good view of what's down below. It's the perfect chance to scout for the purple or yellow glow of a high-rarity weapon.
Fortnite is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
