There’s another treasure map to follow in Fortnite Battle Royale, and that means another opportunity to just barely collect a few visual clues before being shotgunned into oblivion. The weekly quest after a golden, glowing crest has become one of my favorite parts of this game for just how different it feels than the rest of the experience, and this week’s map is really not so hard to follow. If you’re having trouble, however, this is how you find the Anarchy Acres treasure map and the treasure it leads to. Spoilers below.
The first thing you’ve got to do is go to Anarchy Acres, smack in the middle of the northern part of the map — you may remember it from a challenge in the first week that asked you to eliminate three other players there. The map that you’re looking for is in a shack to the east of the main house — the shack is long with a little bit of a slanted roof, and the map is inside. Anarchy Acres is always a popular drop zone, and so you’re liable to get killed looking for it. If you’d rather, you can just look below:
So the orienting points we have are a llama, a lookout tower and something that looks an awful lot like Junk Junction and is, in fact, Junk Junction. That’s where we’re heading, and you can see it labeled on the map below.
This one is pretty straightforward, and much easier than last week’s trudge through the swamp’s of Moisty Mire. We’re looking for a jutting rock just west of Junk Junction — it sticks out pretty prominently and should be hard to miss. Here’s what it looks like:
Notice all the people bludgeoning each other to death with pickaxes: they’re standing right on top of the treasure. When you drop down, there isn’t much in the immediate vicinity besides the treasure itself, and so anyone dropping down on this particular rock is looking for the treasure. You might get lucky and find some relatively friendly players before collecting your winnings. If you’re like me, you’ll just be able to grab the crest before being brought to your knees by a pickaxe.
As an aside, this is the first time I’ve completed the challenge on mobile, because I’m out of town — there’s something almost spooky about that. Playing games on your phone is one thing — even impressive ones like these. But the seamless cross-progression that means that I’m not only playing the same game but the same account, and that identical experience is a big part of what makes it feel so magical.
