Fortnite Brings Back Jetpacks for the First Time In Almost 3 Years
Fortnite has unvaulted and brought back the Jetpack to its massively successful battle royale mode. After a small hotfix, a few familiar items were added back to Fortnite's core game modes. These items include the infamous Jetpack, as well as the Egg Launcher item to celebrate the upcoming Easter holiday. It has been a while since players have seen the Jetpack, and this return of the item should once again add a layer to the newest season.
The Jetpack makes its return to Fortnite after first appearing at the end of Chapter 1. Since then, this coveted legendary-rarity item had been kept in the vault due to complaints from the player base about balance issues regarding the item's means of transportation. The Jetpack lets players soar to new heights, allowing the user to scale tall buildings, stop themselves from receiving fall damage, and escape from tough fights safely. Jetpacks were said to return to Fortnite in a leak last month.

Specifically, they can be found on the inner walls near one of the entrance doors. There are currently five locations where you can find these airships, but due to the in-game story happening this season, these airship locations are always changing and moving around at various times.
