Driftboards in Fortnite OG locations

Here are four locations where we’ve found driftboards in Fortnite OG. Your mileage may vary as the drop points seem to be random. The driftboards might be taken before you can find them too. They include:

  • Location #1 – Nearby Tilted Towers. Go to the top of the hill south of the area. It’s near a wrecked wooden building.
  • Location #2 – Northeast of Shafty Shafts, you’ll find a crashed battle bus with its balloon deflated. Some driftboards in Fortnite OG may appear here.
  • Location #3 – On the bridge between Fatal Fields and Shafty Shafts, you’ll find another hoverboard. On the western side, you’ll see a driftboard on a bench.
  • Location #4 – In Retail Row, go to the storefront on the east side. In the first storefront, you’ll find boats, jackets, and drinks. On the right, there are two hoverboards mounted on the wall. Flip and then ride them.

How to use the driftboard

Riding a driftboard is quite odd. However, once you get used to it, it’s thrilling to get around in them. You can boost with the circle button (B on Xbox) and jump with the cross button (A). Once you’ve jumped, you can perform tricks by rotating the character in the air. I was able to get a daily quest done just by landing a trick.

Another neat thing is that you can actually shoot enemies with a gun while you’re on a driftboard. You can take out your foes and then leave quickly with a boost if it gets too hairy.

While the Fortnite OG season is still going on, you can also find the Grapple Glove and gnomes throughout the battle royale’s map.
