Where to find Stark Industries Beacons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
X: HYPEXFortnite’s mid-season updates have been leaving Avengers-level secrets on the map, as more mysterious Stark Industries Beacons keep being discovered around the Chapter 5 Season 3 island.
Fortnite’s 30.20 update has introduced two more Stark Industries Beacons to the Battle Royale map, which came after the first beacon was sneakily deployed by Epic with the previous 30.10 update.
Many in the community believe that these have been planted by Epic to build up hype for the upcoming Marvel-themed season outlined in Fornite’s leaked Roadmap.
Here’s everything you need to know about them, including where to find all Stark Industries Beacon locations on the island map.
Stark Industries Beacon locations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
You can find three Stark Industries Beacons across the Fortnite map in Chapter 5 Season 3. These are all located near different main POI locations around the Battle Royale island and are all mysteriously pointing in varied directions.
These beacons can be found near Reckless Railways, Brawler’s Battleground and Sandy Steppes.
Reckless Railways beacon
You can find this Stark Industries Beacon directly southwest of Reckless Railways. It is located on top of the small hill and menacingly facing toward the center of the Reckless Railways POI.
This was the first and only rift beacon that was included in Fortnite’s 30.10 update. Just like all the other beacons, you are unable to interact with the object and therefore no further clues have been provided in regards to their purpose or for the reason they are pointing in a particular direction.
Brawler’s Battleground beacon
You will need to head just east of Brawler’s Battleground to find this Stark Industries Beacon. The beacon has been placed right on top of the large mountain that sits along the right-hand side the the POI.
Despite it being almost inside the POI, this beacon points northwest toward the center of the Battle Royale map, in a completely different direction from the first beacon.
Sandy Steppes beacon
The final beacon can be found northeast of Sandy Steppes. Epic has placed this Stark Industries Beacon on top of the tall hill that sits next to the Snooty Station landmark.
The Sandy Steppes Beacon points northeast, directly towards the Ship It! Station. Unlike the Reckless Railways beacon that was added first as part of the 30.10 update, both of the Stark Industries Beacons introduced in the 30.20 update point towards the center of the map.
But, there have been no further signs that would suggest that this was related and may just be a coincidence.
Furthermore, the Stark Industries Beacons discovered in Chapter 5 Season 3 have remained a mystery so far. We will therefore have to wait and see if Epic continues to spread more Marvel teasers across its map in the next mid-season updates.
Fortnite veterans should be well-versed with the beacon’s arrival. Back in Chapter 2 Season 4, the beacons also coincided with the Marvel-themed season. With this being mentioned in the leaked Fortnite 2024 Roadmap, then this is all we have to go by and the rest has remained unknown.
The 30.20 update by Epic has also introduced the Heavy Impact Sniper, Remote Explosives, a fresh roster of NPCs and the biggest addition being the OG Reload mode with its own weapons pool and map.
