Fortnite: How to Visit Crackshot's Cabin

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

The Floating Loot Island is still buggy, preventing some players from completing this quest. If the island fails to materialize in your match, there are a few things to try:

• 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.
• Party assist - Team up with friends and enable party assist to increase your chances of getting credit.
• Keep trying - With some luck, the island may yet show up in your games. Persistence is key.

Summary

• Crackshot's Cabin accessed via Floating Loot Island
• Island spawns around 4th storm circle with under 15 players
• Use cables to grapple up onto the island
• Issue is buggy, may require patience and workarounds

With the right strategy, you can trounce the competition and tick off stage 3 of the questline by visiting Crackshot’s Cabin. Keep striving for Victory Royales and the elusive Floating Loot Island may materialize when you least expect it!
