What is Loot Lake in Fortnite?
In Fortnite, Loot Lake is a location on the island where the main lake has spread. After an in-game event, the lake leveled up to create the vault in the middle which became the Zero Point of the island. The entire lake acts as a giant platform for gaming. There is varied loot throughout the islands including weapons, ammo, wheels, chests, and supply drops. The lake even has four floating islands around the central Zero Point vault which are connected by air geysers/slips and chests to explore.
In the Fortnite game universe, Loot Lake is referred to by the following lore description in Chapter 2, PCF (Player Created Fiction) versions of Fortnite.
Remembering days of fun, sailing rowboats, paddling canoes, and dancing the night away. The Zero Point turned it all to memories, then to nostalgia. By opening the Sanctuary doors, Battle Royale, Save the World, and the Bridge have been saved, securing the fate of all.
Why Would Someone Want to Get Under Loot Lake?
Someone would want to get under Loot Lake in Fortnite to escape dangerous situations during the game. There is an area under the island which is not visible and visitors are not able to shoot people who hide under the island. The Waterfall in Salty Springs area is no longer a working crater and neither is the area under Loot Lake, so these are not ultimate hiding places but are once was.
What Are the Methods to Get Under Loot Lake?
The methods players can use to get under Loot Lake on Fortnite are as follows…
- The Tilting Towers zone. After damage to the western base and the decision to turn the 0.6 unofficial underground lab zone into a military base, the under-Loot Lake tunnel to the west was built by player 7th Key.
- The Durburger Store. A hidden underground Durburger restaurant under the screen at Greasy Grove hides a secret tunnel behind a fridge door. It leads to the under-Loot Lake tunnel system.
- Epic Games’ decision to submerge downtown Neo Tilted in water as an alternative to rewriting the map. This area is likely to connect to Loot Lake if it isn’t even part of it already.
Player nicks provides an in-depth tour in his video called FORTNITE STORYLINE – THE UNDERGROUND RUINS AT LOOT LAKE which was added to a series of events that included earthquakes, meteors, and rocket launches that set up the map changes in season 9. Season 9 is discussed as well as one of the rare excavation events by Fortnite fans in Tommyncal11’s video.
Using a Launch Pad
A Launch Pad is the easiest way to get underneath Loot Lake. A Launch Pad is an item in Fortnite Battle Royale that allows a player to leap into the air when they jump on it. Players may jump above Loot Lake, then jump off and glide under it. Launch Pads can be found in Supply drops, or they can be collected at random across the map. They can also show up in certain types of chests.
Essentially, players are looking for a small blue trampoline-looking icon on the ground. This is a Launch Pad. Players need to run right up to it, then hit the press button that usually lets players reload weapons to make their character activate the Launch Pad. Once it is active, jump on the small blue pad and players will launch into the sky. As they are gliding, players can allez themselves back onto the slopes of Loot Lake to land under it.
Building a Ramp
At the center of Loot Lake, you can build a ramp that goes straight down under the water as shown in the image above. You can also build a ramp from the stairs at the mansion that feeds into the lake or from houses around the perimeter all the way down into the water, then platform out until you reach just above the floor of the lake. This is never done because of the vulnerability of the exposed ramp to enemy fire.
Using a Shopping Cart or ATK
Shopping carts and All-Terrain Karts (ATK) are no longer in Chapter 2 Season 7 of Fortnite. They were ground vehicles that prior to chapter 2 season 3 could be used to get under Loot Lake. These vehicles were temporary items and would get despawned after some time in the game anyway. When a shopping cart was used to get under Lake Loot because they did not float or had some special underwater properties. The players could practice via ATKs or shopping carts by going underwater in any body of water. The way under Loot Lake is just a path like any other. If you can find it walking then you can continue riding one of these vehicles.
Using a Glider Redeploy
Because you typically need to fall quickly to get under loot lake, the presence of a Geyser just above the lake makes a good jumping-off point. The geyser is a swirling circle of purple air that looks like it is trying to suck you into Kevin the Cube. Flying away from it causes your character to be lifted, making it possible to smoothly transition from free fall into controlled flight.
At the start of Season X Gliders were vaulted, significantly limiting the options for staying in the air once a diving player emerged out the other side of Loot Lake. Once they have been put back into play with the beginning of Chapter 2, Season 1, they can be used to quickly jump out of the breaking cover of a roof on the lake.
You can usually find a glider in one of the loot chests that are common in the area, including one inside a nearby boathouse next to a staircase. Once outside the cave with an airplane overhead at iceberg biome’s side entrance onto the lake, all it takes is a short jump down onto the roof, and then an immediate use of the glider to jump out and away.
Using a glider redeploy was the least useful when vending machines were in use. Their presence made it easy to get a jump – or rather a glide – on loot lake once you leave the bottom. They cost 300 wood or brick and make a Rift-To-Go device that functions as a single-use teleportation machine. Exiting the vending area makes a perfect scenario for using the redeploy feature of your glider to begin exploring the rest of loot lake.
Are There Any Risks Involved in Getting Under Loot Lake?
There are no significant risks involved in getting under Loot Lake in Fortnite. The two areas you have to avoid are the bottom cave in Loot Lake and the volcano erupting, but both are extremely unlikely to occur while you explore under the lake. The volcano eruption at Loot Lake was a one-time Fortnite event caused by Vault stealing and is not expected to happen again.
The probability of absent geological risks causing harm is infinitesimally small in a game as simple as Fortnite. Therefore, the risk of harm under Loot Lake inside the cave is close to zero. A geological survey showing the interior of Loot Lake and any remnants of the volcano beneath it has never been created since there are no known geologists who explore underground areas of video games.
A reddit thread by Jackohel discusses one idea for why the secret volcano room beneath Loot Lake might have been put there. Even if geological events CaptiveMinecraft theorizes caused these underground rifts and openings, the debris and lack of volcanic heat in Loot Lake indicates they are inactive, thus posing no risk of sudden igneous activity. This is all speculation!
Under Loot Lake there is no water or toxic gas, so players can cross without worry. The potentially dangerous cave in the bottom has been sealed. -IONIC #advice-hidden-loot-lake-room
Taking Damage from the Storm
If you want to get under Loot Lake in Fortnite quickly, simply take damage from the storm and swim down until you are under The Yacht or to the edge of The Grotto where the hidden underground river starts. That’s it. Swimming under the entirety of Loot Lake is difficult because of the underwater walls and additional terrain features, some of which are not the same as they are above the surface.
Getting Stuck or Falling into the Void
In this video showing a user attempting to loot under Loot Lake, the user mentions that instead of gliding through a wall like other underground areas, the user loses friction sometimes and gets stuck in the void in the underground sky. Lost friction occurs when in Glitched Climb too many items are built that cause the game to slow down and knock the player’s character. In this case, press button 1 on the keyboard to be transported outside and not below the map.
What Are the Rewards for Getting Under Loot Lake?
The rewards for getting under Loot Lake are not viewed as significant. It is very isolated and has no special characteristics or benefits beyond normal play.
Loot Lake, more than any other poi, is viewed as a midpoint between many other points of interest on the map, many of which have special benefits. The indoor ice biome Happy Hamlet provides an unusual environment and many possible indoor routes and access points. Even the indoor coastal town of Believer Beach has an energy-efficient and relatively unblemished indoor environment for harvest and storage.
Believer Beach also has to Kapow electric services, a sub-basement zone, and various small-scale residential and artisan locations inside the town. Weeping Woods has many dense forests and overhanging trees for stealth travel.
In our exploration, we found no way to get under Loot Lake. The waters of Loot Lake cannot be dived under. The lack of vibrant and unique strategies for taking or holding advantage of an under-Loot Lake position means it is one of the most overlooked, in terms of number, of any site on the map.
Unable to verify our information with Epic Games, we gather from general Fortnite lore that Kevin the Cube and the series of events around it tied to the creation of a monster and numerous new poi that took place during Season 7–10 were not associated with Loot Lake. Instead, thats where the cube had established its first location and fallen apart.
Finding Rare Loot
Loot in Fortnite refers to dropped items which include weapons, ammunition, and resources for construction. Overall, loot at Loot Lake and under it is fairly average, and it is possible to go to other locations that have the same or more, but there is one unique piece of loot exclusive to Loot Lake. That is the salvaged building supplies used in the bunker which have zero existence in the real world but in the gaming world can become a memorable objective to show off to others. The following is a general idea of the rare loot available in this area. In Chapter 1, Season 1, the Rocket Launcher, Jetpack, Grappler, and Turrets appear in this area under the house at the eastern edge of the lake. In Chapter 2, Season 7, a Ray Gun frequently (though not always) is located under the southern house that faces the lake. Regarding resources, Wood, metal, stone, and kit for the bunker can all be obtained in varying amounts under the lake
Completing Challenges
Completing specific challenges presented by Deadfire, The Mandalorian, Predator, Fusion, and others who accept bounties can provide Gold Tokens as a reward. One challenge accepted from Deadfire requires destroying a large container. The spawn location for this challenge is on an isolated island lacking even trees of notoriety found southeast of The Fortilla. A tree northeast of Camp Cod or one on the southwest shore of Slurpy Swamp a short walk from the main building can also serve.
The Mandalorian can accept a bounty where the target is located at an unnamed landmark in the Southeast forest. The as yet unnamed location is to the east of Coral Castle. The quickest method to complete this bounty is to destroy one of the trees. Fusion and Raz are similar NPCs with the same island locations as his bounty merchant colleagues. The bounties most likely to lead to loot lake are Kondor and Menace, but this week there are a limited number of NPC spawns making them difficult to locate.
Exploring Hidden Areas
Swim under the 0995 section under the bridge leading to Boney Burbs. This off-the-beaten-path location in Fortnite makes for an ideal site to perform Recon Scanner tasks as few opponents will know where to look. More importantly, they won’t know how many places to look underwater there are. Experiment with sliding and jumping around the hilly terrain below Loot Lake for a fun challenge and research trip.
What Are Some Tips for Successfully Getting Under Loot Lake?
- Extended Approach Time: Slow your ramp-building approaches to get a better angle and increase the chances of reaching under the lake.
- Choose Your Pillar Wisely: Construct your ramps and walls on the ramp closest to the side of the loot lake cavern. It is a short distance from the lowest ramp on which you can build up, down, over, or create a platform jump into.? During testing, this pillar has the highest number of successful below ground building structures both under and around it. This, of course, can change with every update.
- Rotate Stairs and Floors: For successfully navigate and build under the lake in close-quarter battles, quickly rotating the wall, ramp, and floor material will make all the difference in defending oneself, locating others, and navigating the pillared walls and roofs.
Practice Building and Using Launch Pads
You can practice building in Fortnite’s Creative mode by creating an island with floating platforms above the water to mimic where entrances are to get under Loot Lake. This will allow you to work on the necessary skill of creating stairs attached to platforms that launch you in the right direction.
You can use creative to acquire multiple launch pads, Slurp Barrels, and Grapplers, which are also commonly found in and around Loot Lake. This practicing in Creative Mode will come in handy when you find yourself inside the actual game as you try to figure out how to get under Loot Lake without drowning while fighting off opponents.
Be Aware of Surroundings and Potential Obstacles
Since the behavior of the water around Loot Lake island is unpredictable, players may find themselves unexpectedly trapped or swept away. This is especially the case if players enter the water from one of the internal inlets with two holes connecting to the central whirlpool or one of the north shore caves. To prevent this situation, players must monitor the flow of the water and their surroundings and always be prepared to reach any of the four main chambers with the ramps leading to the surface.
If players are unsure of where in the underground area they are located or believe they are trapped, they always have the choice of using their weapons to break the floor and return to the surface immediately. Generally, if players enter the underground area from an entrance at the lowest elevation of their cave or fort, be prepared to find a way to quickly ascend to the surface with ramps or stairs. Players are slightly less likely to be carried away by the subterranean water if they are able to return to the surface quickly. Entrances nearer to the whirlpool have the highest velocity current and thus moving vertically to exit tunnels there is likely to be more difficult.
Coordinate with Teammates
If you are engaging in Photo mode visit the boats prospect then you need to coordinate with your teammates. Have them get boating access for you en route to the island. Coordinate to that they are ready to protect you should things turn south on the boat trip. If they have any additional shields or additional weapons or additional bad guys, it helps to be nearby to offload them quickly or eliminate the threat.
But remember – be courteous and do not intrude on someone else’s establishing of an underwater fort to visit the lake. Same as if you are building underwater or boogieing to visit the boats, ingame communication is key for team strategizing.
Invite them to your party so you can communicate faster during the diving and exploring process. Make sure you are on the same wavelength and have set clear goals or assignment to team members before planning a trip and dividing the tasks among your group. Teamplay according to Star Wars is largely about pushing their objective with your own and recognizing that the synergy is likely to yield far greater results and playability, both for you and for them.
