Capture Points are unique locations scattered all around the map, and there are a lot of them. While you can go about your day without interacting with them, some challenges will require you to capture them.

How to claim a Capture Point in Fortnite

  • Go to a Capture Point location.
  • Stand inside the flag’s circle.
  • Once players get inside the range of a Capture Point, a timer will start.
  • The Capture Point will be claimed as its flag rises to the top in around 45 seconds.

When players successfully claim a Capture Point, they will also be rewarded with loot. Enemies near them will also be marked for 30 seconds, which grants players a strategic advantage after claiming a Capture Point.
