Fortnite: Search Floating Lightning Bolts - Every Floating Lightning Bolt location

Here’s how to build to the sky and Search Floating Lightning Bolts high up around the map.

To make sure the Floating Lightning Bolts - or as you'd say in Spanish, "Rayos Flotantes" - count towards your challenge progress, you can’t just glide through them. You have to land and then hold a button or key to search them properly.

You’re going to need a lot of materials to search these floating lightning bolts. They are actually quite high up in the air and can be quite difficult to gather when people are shooting at you. Try and wait until the mid-game when there's less competition - or head over to 50vs50 - and you should be fine.

Search Floating Lightning Bolts:

You have to search seven Floating Lightning Bolts to complete the challenge. There are 20 on the map below, with some short written descriptions underneath to give you a bit more of an idea.

Directly in the centre of Titled Towers.
In the West of Retail Row between the ruined houses
In the centre of the newly overgrown research centre above the Dusty Divot
In the center of Greasy Grove to the northeast of the burger place
Really high above the river to the northwest of Tomato Town
In the sky above the Motel that’s between Anarchy Acres(now Lazy Links), Pleasant Park and Junk Junction
Above the dock on the western bank of Loot Lake

Another tip for floating lightning bolts: if you're trying to search more than one in a game, how about snagging a new ATK golf cart to make things go quicker?
