Where are fireflies in fortnite season 6

There's a new set of challenges to complete for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 Week 8 and we've got the latest on how you can earn all the extra XP.

This weeks' challenges are due to go live on May 6th at 09:00 EST / 14:00 BST, so there's plenty of time for you to prepare! Here's how you use a Firefly Jar inside Pizza Pit.

Fireflies were introduced into the game a few seasons ago, allowing players to set structures on fire, as well as enemies.

They are dotted around the map and by interacting with them the player traps them in a glass jar with can then be thrown to cause fire damage.

To complete this, players need to find a firefly and then explode it in Pizza Pit.

Pizza Pit can be found just south of the Orchard, which is slightly northeast of Colossal Crops.

Fireflies can be found in many places across the map, usually wooded areas or near water.

Since your rotation is dictated by the storm, the easiest place is on the hill that is west of Pizza Pit.

There are five potential spawns for fireflies on the hill, as well as some floor loot, up to two chests, and two trucks to drive over the Pizza Pit.

Throw the fireflies in Pizza Pit and the challenge will unlock.

Where are the fireflies located in Fortnite?

Before you can use a Firefly Jar at the Pizza Pit in Fortnite, you first need to find some fireflies to capture. The closest firefly spawn location is Scenic Spot, which is directly west of Pizza Pit. Scenic Spot is another landmark location and is quite easy to find, due to it being at the top of a hill.

How many Fireflys can you hold in Fortnite?

You can control both the total number of fireflies produced and the duration between spawns. Once collected, these fireflies will be placed in jars that can be equipped in stacks of six in your Equipment Bar.
