The Grotto is a Named Location in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Update v12.00. It was located just northeast of Retail Row and south of Dirty Docks.

Overview
The Grotto was an SHADOW underground facility that could be accessed through two holes in the ground. SHADOW Henchmen and Brutus patrolled the area, along with security equipment, such as Sentry Cameras and Sentry Turrets were set up all throughout the main base to protect the vault. Ziplines provided quick travel around the base.

Trivia

 * In Chapter 2: Season 4, there were leaked audio files for Bat sounds and water lever files, codenamed "GrottoRuins". There was a new collaboration between DC and Fortnite, and the main character is Batman, which explains the leaked Bat Audio files. This hinted that The Grotto may return, but ultimately led to nothing.
 * Similarly, in Chapter 2: Season 8, the water level in Brutus' Basin lowered slightly, which may indicate a future reappearance, but nothing happened to it and as a result it got removed in Chapter 3: Season 1 due to the island's flipping.
