Crackshot's Cabin has returned to Fortnite with the Winterfest 2023 event, but it can be tricky to locate. The cabin is situated on the Floating Loot Island which only appears periodically during matches. Visiting Crackshot’s Cabin is part of the Ship It! Express Snapshot questline. This guide explains everything you need to know to complete stage 3 and visit the iconic location.
How to Visit Crackshot's Cabin
The key to finding Crackshot’s Cabin is keeping an eye out for the Floating Loot Island spawn.
- The island surfaces late in matches, typically around the fourth storm circle with 15 or fewer players remaining.
- A map marker and visible rift will indicate the Floating Loot Island's arrival.
- However, it won’t fully materialize unless a player moves within 100 meters of the marked location. This prevents it from emerging in inaccessible areas.

How To Get To Crackshot’s Cabin
Once summoned, gravitational cables will tether the Floating Loot Island to the ground below. Use these cables to grapple up to the island. You may need to build floors outward to connect to the cables if the island generates high above the terrain.
Crackshot’s Cabin sits at the center of the small landmass. Simply approaching the front door will complete the quest objective. Grab any weapons and items inside to boost your late-game loadout.

What To Do If The Island Doesn’t Appear

- Wait for updates - Epic Games has acknowledged problems spawning the island. Future patches may address these issues.
- Change game modes - The island seems to appear more consistently in core playlists like solos and squads. Avoid limited-time modes.
