Where to Find Spaceship Parts in Fortnite
Below is how to repair and launch a spaceship in Fortnite, as well as how and where to find and collect the missing parts of the engine, heat shield and battery.
In order to start the launch of the quest / test of the ship, you need to approach the Ancient Astronaut's spaceship on the map. Here is its location and our video guide:
BUILD AND INSTALL THE MISSING FORTNITE PARTS
There is no specific order in which you need to assemble and install the missing ship parts in order to repair it. However, we have all the missing parts and where to find and collect them below.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE BATTERY
The missing part of the Accumulator is the one closest to the Ancient Astronaut's ship. You will find it in the water towards the southwest side of the ship. Here is the part and the mini-map on the top right of the image so you know where to find it:
You can install it by looking at the top right side of the ship. Then you will be prompted to install the battery as shown below:
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE ENGINE
This is probably the farthest part to start the quest on the ship. You will find it south of the ship hidden in the rock. Here is the place you will need to visit to pick up the engine:
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE HEAT SHIELD
It's a little tricky to find, but you'll hear noise for all the pieces to help you find all the missing pieces. You will find the heat shield in the sandy part closest to the ship. It will be under rocks that you will have to destroy:
This is where you install the heat shield:
LAUNCH THE SHIP
After you assemble and install all the missing parts. If you are looking at the ship, he will tell you to start it. Just interact with the ship and you can launch it.
As soon as you do this, you will receive a message saying "time has started". You will see a large green shield surrounding you and the ship.
START START SEQUENCE
Part of the task startup sequence completes automatically. Then you just have to wait until the timer that you see on the top left side of the screen ends. Once the timer runs out, the spacecraft will start up and you will successfully launch it.
What remains after the launch of the ship are some rifts around the ship's location.
