Now we are right in the thick of things with Fortnite season 7, we've been enjoying all the new alien-filled content that has been showing up in the game - including Rick and Morty's Rick Sanchez!

Alien related content once again makes up a part of the Fortnite weekly challenges this week, including a hunt for Rick, but we also have a UFO-themed one to contend with, which involves finding and flying the craft (which will help tick off another challenge - visit 5 named locations in one match).

Here's what you need to know about the UFO challenge.

How to find a UFO in Fortnite

You will be able to find a UFO at any of the following locations.

  • Dirty Docks
  • Steamy Stacks,
  • Camp Cod
  • Durr Burger
  • Green Steel Bridge.

Blue smoke is the clue that one is being guarded so keep an eye out for that and when you find one, you just need to enter it and you will gain control. The difficulty is that many other players will be trying to do the same thing - so be ready for a bit of a fight!

One thing to keep in mind with a UFO is that they are not indestructible - in fact, they take about the same amount of damage as a car before plummeting to the ground, so don't get cocky! But equally, if you see one flying overhead, you should not have too much trouble bringing it down.
