Forecast tower in Fortnite - how to get them and the benefits

Getting Forecast Tower

  • In CH5:S4, there are 5 forecast towers on the map, and 3 of those will become active each game. At the start of the 2nd zone, the towers that are going to become active will begin to become active. 


  • First, a rift is shown and then guards spawn from the rift. They won't attack you until you attack a Doom guard/bot (could be here or have happened somewhere else already).


  • We recommend you eliminate the guards before the local boss so that they won’t be shooting at you while you're dealing with the boss, but you can directly attack the boss instead if you prefer.


  • Once eliminating the boss, a key card is dropped. Pick up the keycard and bring it inside the tower base and this will give you the next-zone forecast on your map.


  • This is incredibly helpful and important to get in high-level gameplay where rotations will be highly contested
