For a limited time, UFOs are making a comeback to hit video game Fortnite. UFOs are among Fortnite's most popular features, and players can catch them until August 15.
Fortnite UFOs were first introduced in Chapter 2 Season 7. When it was first released, it included a unique alien theme. UFOs are a flying vehicle type that is technically called saucers. These saucers can hover above the ground and fly to considerable heights. These spaceships can fire projectiles onto the ground, so beware. In this article, we will be guiding you in finding Fortnite UFO locations and also give you some tips to ride it when you finally find one.

According to Gamespot, UFOs are flying vehicles that have the capacity to load an entire Fortnite squad. It has a total of five seats available inside, and you can always bring your whole team for an out-of-this-world ride. Always remember that although the flying saucer can last a few seconds of fly time, its battery can only last for a total of 400 seconds. But do not worry. Its alien technology enables it to recharge when it is not in use. There are only six of them available to be found on the map of each game.
Where To Find Fortnite UFO Locations
The UFO, a returning vehicle type for Fortnite, can be seen circling above some locations on the island. Although their position varies from game to game, players can always know where they are by looking at the map and identifying which identified areas are in purple and shimmering. Refer to the map below for the locations of the flying saucers.
When you finally visit these highlighted locations, you will be in awe at the sign of UFOs hovering in the air. At some time, they can be seen flying around a small location. When the match goes on, there is a great chance that other players were already able to hijack some of the flying saucers, and you can see some of them crash and abandoned anywhere. This may be from players who decided to park their flying vehicle for the meantime or maybe from players who were shot down from a previous gunfight.
Come In Peace To Avoid Alien Gun Fight
According to Eurogamer, UFOs usually descend to pick up objects and some random players. You need to join the ship and find a way to knock out the Trespassers who act as the spaceship's pilot.
But how can the UFO pick you up? You need to find a place underneath the UFO, wait there for a few seconds, but make sure to find some good cover against some other players. In a few seconds, expect the UFO to hover lower to the ground and fire a tractor beam that will get you inside the vehicle. Just make sure not to shoot the alien ship if you do not want them to rain down projectiles on you. It is best to come in peace if you do not want a sudden Martian attack.
Once you are inside the alien spaceship, what is best to do now is to equip a gun and start hunting for its pilots for you to take over the ship. And also, while you are abducted by the alien ship, they are flying you away from your original location.
