Fortnite’s Chapter 6, Season 1 storyline has you running around the map and hunting down demons. Using a Forecast Tower is among your weekly objectives, but you won’t find any quest markers for them. Instead, you’ll have to wait until a few storm circles pass.
Where to find Forecast Towers in Fortnite
Forecast Towers spawn around your Fortnite map just before the third storm circle is announced. They’ll appear as satellite dish icons on your map, giving you their exact locations. You’ll usually find two or three during each match.
However, these locations change per round. While the buildings will stay in the same spots, only certain ones will activate during your match. In other words, even if you camp a forecast tower, it may not necessarily turn on, forcing you to find a new one.
How to use Forecast Towers in Fortnite
Once you approach an active forecast tower, you’ll find a large tower and a small building with a terminal inside. However, you won’t be able to unlock the terminal without obtaining an access key. It’s time to fight some enemies.
More specifically, you’ll have to defeat enemies guarding the forecast tower. They’ll either spawn right outside the tower or patrol nearby, as shown by a face map icon. They don’t have much health, but they can still deal some solid damage if you fight them for a while.
The guards you encounter will depend on the current Fortnite season. While some seasons had Latverian henchmen, others, like Chapter 6: Season 1, have demon grunts and lieutenants. Upon defeating a guard, they’ll drop a Forecast Tower Access Card, which you can use on the terminal to use the forecast tower and finish Fortnite’s story and weekly quests.
