Capture Points are a Gameplay Mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale that were first introduced in Chapter 4: Season 1.
Functionality[]
Each Named Location would contain a Capture Point. Players have to stay within a 2-tile radius of the Capture Point for the capture to begin. Once initiated, it would take 45 seconds for the player to claim it. The banners of the pole would be raised, and it would make a heavy rising sound along with displaying a display indicator towards the Capture Point, alarming players that it is being captured. Once captured, loot would be rewarded to the player. Chests and enemy players within a 14-15 tile radius would be marked for 30 seconds.
If players from opposing team enter the Capture Point, the area would be contested. If an opposing team is within a capture point that has been left abandoned, any existing progress will be wiped, and the Capture Point would be captured by the new team.
Capture Point Loot[]
- The Capture Point would always drop 30 of each Material and 200 Bars.
- The game randomly chooses a weapon set and selects one specific weapon of a specific rarity. The weapon and its variant chosen can be chosen again as well.
- Rockets have a 0% spawn rate whereas all other ammo have a 25% spawn rate.
- The game can choose the same item multiple times as well.
