Where to Find Fortnite Flying Saucers, How to Enter Them and How to Control a UFO.
Season 17 of Fortnite is finally out and one of the biggest additions is the ability to fly UFOs around the map! Here's where to find them and how to use them.
After weeks of anticipation, the highly anticipated Season 17 of Fortnite has arrived. As expected, the theme of the new update is about aliens, so there is a lot of new extraterrestrial themed weapons , exciting skins и map updates .
In addition to the giant mothership that spawns over the island, players will also be able to locate and control their smaller UFOs, which can not only heal your friends but also deal a lot of damage to enemies. They are also very fun to use!
Flying Saucers are without a doubt one of Season 17's most exciting additions, so we've put together a handy guide so you can get your very own alien spaceship and start navigating the Island during matches.
Where to find flying saucers (UFOs) in Fortnite season 17
If you want to control a UFO, you first need to find it. To do this, look at the Fortnite map when you start a new battle royale match. You will notice that a few random location names flash and glow purple .
Head to any of these locations and you should see three flying saucers in the sky; these are your goals. Remember that the further you land from the battle bus, the less competition you will have from other players.
How to get into and control a UFO in Fortnite
Capturing a UFO in Fortnite Season 17 will require you to bring it down from the sky, so head into this battle armed with a lot of long-range firepower in your loadout.
Here's how to take control and control the plate in Fortnite:
- First of all, target one UFO and ignore the rest.
- Shoot down a UFO with a medium or ranged weapon such as a rifle.
- Once you deal enough damage, the aircraft will slowly descend to the ground.
- Approach the UFO and press the action button to enter it.
- Keep in mind that the Intruder controlling the UFO will try to destroy you.
Other players can take control of the UFO you shot down, so try to get to it as quickly as possible!
UFO controls in Fortnite
Now that you have a UFO, you need to know how to fly it! As with most vehicles, you will have a limited amount of fuel (known as a battery) and your UFO will crash to the ground if it takes too much damage.
Below you will find the controls for PS4 and PS5 controllers, but they will be similar for other consoles:
UFO movement | Controller button |
Takeoff | R2 |
To go down | L2 |
Acceleration | О |
Kidnap | L1 |
Laser ray | R1 |
While the ascent, descent, and acceleration speak for themselves, the real fun comes from kidnapping, which allows you to pick up objects, vehicles, or even enemies and send them flying across the island.
You also have access to a laser beam that can destroy other UFOs or damage enemies on the ground. Both Laser Beam and Abduct features have a cool down period, so make sure your target is on point.
That's everything you need to know about UFOs in Fortnite Season 17. It is likely that Epic will make changes to them as the season progresses - or we may get new space machines - so we will keep you updated.
