The giant turtle is something you may have seen in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 trailer, swimming around a lake and scaring Peely off their boat.
Although it is not part of a marked location on the map – and officially the name Big turtle – it can be an ideal landing spot if you are not contested.
Here you can find the giant tortoise and what it does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
Giant tortoise locations in Fortnite
The Giant Tortoise can be found in one of the seven marked locations on the map above.
The easiest way to find out which location spawned them is to quickly scan the map while on the battle bus. Look at each of the marked locations and try to spot the giant tortoise.
Ryuji, an NPC, can be found near or on the turtle and will give you some background information about a sea serpent and the Great Turtle. To recap: the turtle is plagued by darkness and loneliness, and Ryuji is searching for the turtle’s lost love.
What does the giant turtle do in Fortnite?
At the time of writing (December 18), several weeks into the season, the giant tortoise still doesn’t really do much – he’s just a chilled out guy. However, there may be an Easter egg yet to be found, or something that will appear in a future update, as the Giant Turtle is still searching for their lost love.
In the meantime, you can climb atop the giant turtle to find chests, slurp barrels, a spirit shrine, and a launch pad.
