Here’s how it works. (Image credit: Epic Games) Fortnite Hammerhead Choppas locations Hit opponents beyond 50 meters Use Loudspeaker within 100 meters Fortnite Hammerhead Choppas mark the return of flying vehicles to the battle royale, allowing players to travel across the island quickly and gain an aerial advantage. These helicopters don't have their own weapons so aren't too OP, though an upgrade over the previous choppas means you can briefly step out onto the side rails and fire your own weapons while it hovers automatically. As well as providing fast transit, you'll also need to use Hammerhead Choppas to complete two of the recent Weekly Fortnite quests involving hitting opponents at distance and using the loudspeaker near them. They will no doubt appear in more challenges as the season rolls on, so to help you track them down here are the Hammerhead Choppa locations in Fortnite we've identified so far. If you're trying to collect Fortnite Boons or Fortnite SHADOW Briefings for separate quests, we've got the details on where to find them as well.

I've marked five Hammerhead Choppa locations on the map above that I've discovered so far, but this isn't exhaustive as there are likely to be more, so I will update this once they've been identified. How to hit opponents beyond 50 meters while in the Hammerhead Choppa in Fortnite (Image credit: Epic Games) Hitting opponents beyond 50 meters while in the Hammerhead Choppa in Fortnite sounds challenging, especially as it has no built-in weapons, but it's actually pretty simple. If you click the right stick while flying you'll switch position to one of the side rails, and the helicopter will continue hovering automatically for a short time before it starts to descend. This gives you the chance to fire your weapons to hit enemies and, most helpfully, bugs count as 'opponents' for this quest – so if you fly low over a swarm area to spawn them before rising to 50+ meters above, you can pick off a few bugs and complete the assignment with ease. How to use Loudspeaker on the Hammerhead Choppa within 100 meters of other players in Fortnite (Image credit: Epic Games) To use the Loudspeaker on the Hammerhead Choppa in Fortnite, you just need to tap down on the d-pad while flying the helicopter. Doing this within 100 meters of other players shouldn't be difficult, as if you fly around at low level and look out for an opponent shooting in your direction you can easily head towards them while activating the Loudspeaker to complete that quest. Have you met all of the Fortnite characters in Season 4 yet? We've got each of the locations for these NPCs to help you out.
