In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, the island might seem safe for now, but mysterious dangers still lurk beneath the surface. One of the latest story quests challenges you to weaken the Swarm’s access point to the island—and while the game doesn’t give you much direction, completing it is essential to progress in the main storyline and earn valuable XP.
Here’s a complete guide on how to find and weaken the Swarm’s access point in Fortnite.
Where to Find the Swarm’s Access Point in Fortnite
The Swarm’s access point is located on a cliff east of Gourdy Gate, west of Utopia City, and north of Dreamy Domain. Look near the train tracks and the broken train car, which has been a landmark this season.
You’ll know you’re close when you see a small, glowing red portal swirling in the air. As you approach, a white diamond icon will appear, marking its exact position. Finding this portal is the hardest part of the quest—once you’ve spotted it, the rest is simple.
How to Weaken the Swarm’s Access Point in Fortnite
When you reach the red portal, walk up to it and you’ll see an on-screen prompt that says “Weaken Access Point.” Press the corresponding button that appears next to this message (it varies depending on your platform and controls).
After interacting, you’ll see the red portal transform into a larger blue and purple vortex—this visual effect confirms that you’ve successfully weakened the Swarm’s access point.
What to Do After Weakening the Access Point
Once the quest is complete, your next step is to meet Hope at Supernova Academy to wrap up the following mission in the “Prepare to Fight” story questline.
After finishing this segment, you’ll have completed one of the main Fortnitemares story missions. But there’s still plenty left to do around the island—take on more challenges like:
- Defeating Ultima Carver,
- Carving pumpkins,
- Completing found quests, and
- Calling players with Last Call.
Stay sharp—Fortnitemares isn’t over yet, and the story continues to unfold across the island.
