Where to find Drake’s Treasure Map in Fortnite
The best way to find a Drake’s Map item in Fortnite is to keep an eye on the ground while traveling around the island, as they’ll sometimes spawn as floor loot. Simply pick them up and equip them to use them.
As the Drake’s Map item is now in the standard Fortnite loot pool, there’s also a small chance that you can find one in Chests, Supply Chests, and Supply Drops, so search as many of those as you can.
It’s important to remember that the Drake’s Map item is Legendary rarity, meaning they won’t be easy to find. A good tip is to get a Quadcrasher and drive around, as this will allow you to cover ground quickly.

Once you’ve found a Drake’s Map item in Fortnite, you’ll need to equip it to begin the treasure hunt. A dotted orange line will appear in front of you, leading you to the location where the treasure is hidden.
Be aware that the location could be quite far away from where you are, so finding a nearby vehicle is a good idea. Once you get close enough, you should see a golden light emanating from a mark on the ground.
