Where to find Fortnite's hidden Fortbytes

New to Fortnite Season 9 are Fortbytes, collectibles released throughout the season that slowly reveal a mysterious picture. What that picture is and why it matters are unknown, but here's what we do know: collecting Fortbytes unlocks new styles for Season 9 cosmetics. Gotta look good in battle royale and creative mode.

Earning most Fortbytes is a matter of attrition—leveling up, placing in the top 10, reaching higher battle pass tiers—so this guide will focus on where to find Fortbytes hidden around the map. We'll be sure to update with every Fortbyte location as soon as they're unlocked, so you'll want to keep tabs on this guide.

Today's Fortbyte location: Fortbyte 38 - Accessible With The Vendetta Outfit At The Northernmost Sky Platform - The final Fortbyte!

It's the last Fortbyte! And go figure, it's a pain to get if you don't already have the Vendetta skin.

Fortbyte 38, the final Fortbyte, is only available if you've unlocked and equip the Vendetta skin. Then drop towards the southern end of Lazy Lagoon. Fortbyte 38 is located a little west, on the northern most Sky Platform on the map. Once you've landed, you should be able to find it pretty quickly.

Of course, if you're working towards the Singularity skin, you'll need 90 out of 100 Fortbytes. So if you've managed to acquire the Vendetta skin, here's a pretty easy way to bump that count up by one.

Fortbyte 21 location - Found inside a metal llama building

Head to the northwest corner of the map, just a bit north of Junk Junction. There you'll find a pretty huge metal llama building. Fortbyte 21 starts out near the top, but other players are inevitably going to knock it lower when they're screwing around. Depending on how many other players are bumrushing to the same Fortbyte, you might have to whack away at some walls or floors to get to it. Considering next season is going to probably feature a mech vs. kaiju fight, I'd be really disappointed if the metal llama didn't get in on the action.

Fortbyte 13 location - Found at a location hidden within Loading Screen 2

Collectibles and human waste complement one another very well, and this Fortbyte is a perfect example. Head to the three dinos south of Paradise Palms, then check out the outhouse behind the visitor center. The Fortbyte is hidden inside. 

Fortbyte 14 location - Found within an RV park

Let's go to the only RV park Fortnite has. It's smack dab in the middle of the lot, located between Mega Mall and Lonely Lodge. 

Fortbyte 16 location - Found in a desert house with too many chairs

Head to the unnamed ghost town at the southeast corner of the map. The building you're looking for is at the southern edge of town, and you'll know it from the armchairs on the roof...and blocking nearly every entryway. Head inside for the Fortbyte. 

Fortbyte 17 location - Found inside a wooden fish building

To find this Fortbyte, head to the hot springs just northeast of Lazy Lagoon. You'll find it inside of the wooden fish. Check the tail. 

Fortbyte 19 location - Accessible with the Vega outfit inside a spaceship building

Fortbyte 20 location - Found at the center of any of the first three Storm Circles

This fortbyte location isn't static, but it can be a hassle to grab in the wrong game mode. Drop into Team Rumble for this one. Stay in the bus until the first circle appears then beeline for the center of the circle. You'll find the fortbyte, well, wherever that is. It'll have a purple lightning bolt hover above it to make it easier to eyeball.

Fortbyte 21 location - Found inside a metal llama building

Head to the northwest corner of the map, just a bit north of Junk Junction. There you'll find a pretty huge metal llama building. Fortbyte 21 starts out near the top, but other players are inevitably going to knock it lower when they're screwing around. Depending on how many other players are bumrushing to the same Fortbyte, you might have to whack away at some walls or floors to get to it. Considering next season is going to probably feature a mech vs. kaiju fight, I'd be really disappointed if the metal llama didn't get in on the action.

Fortbyte 27 location - Found somewhere within map location A4

Of course, if you're working towards the Singularity skin, you'll need 90 out of 100 Fortbytes. So if you've managed to acquire the Vendetta skin, here's a pretty easy way to bump that count up by one.

This Fortbyte's easy to find, but not necessarily easy to claim. Head to the ruined castle east of the Haunted Hills graveyard. Head to the rooms opposite the throne (where the marker is in the picture below) and you'll find the Fortbyte waitin' for a claimin'. Thing is, it has to be night. You can try your luck by waiting, but queuing up for another match might be a better idea. Eventually you'll get one that starts at night.

You'll need friends or some kind strangers to get this Fortbyte. As the prompt says, head northwest of The Block into a small grove of trees. Three pressure plates surround the Fortbyte, which isn't activated until all three plates have someone standing on them.

The Fortbyte is located at the mouth of the lava river just south of the Pressure Plant. Spray the lovely painting somewhere nearby and the Fortbyte will activate. Kiss it tend—er, I mean, claim it. 

Fortbyte 95 location -  Found at a Solar Panel Array in the Jungle
