Fortnite Lightning Bolt Locations – All Floating Lightning Bolts

Fortnite Season 5 is upon us, and aside from the usual treasure hunt challenge, the first set of Battle Pass challenges for Fortnite Season 5 tasks players with searching for seven Floating Lighting Bolts strewn across the new map in Fortnite. Players must own the Season 5 Battle Pass to find and collect the Floating Lightning Bolts, as this is one of the premium challenges rather than the free ones. We’ve put together a list of all Floating Lighting Bolt locations we know of in Fortnite, along with a map indicating where to find them.

Fortnite Lightning Bolt Locations 

The Floating Lighting Bolts in Fortnite are suspended high above the ground. When searching for each Lighting Bolt, look for a faint yellow beam that reaches down toward the ground. You will need to build your way up to each Floating Lighting Bolt to search them for the challenge, so make sure you have some resources handy.

Below is a list of every Floating Lighting Bolt in Fortnite that we know of so far. While we may have missed some, there is more than enough here for you to complete this challenge, as you only need to search seven Floating Lighting Bolts.
