How to find the hidden ‘R’ for Fortnite’s Week 3 Missions

Fortnite Battle Royale players looking to bump up some levels on their Chapter 2, Season 1 Battle Pass are going to need to find the location of ‘R’ in the game. If you would like to know where it is, you’ve came to the right place. 

Seasoned veterans of the popular battle royale game might have been surprised to know that hidden battle stars and banners had been removed with the game’s latest major update, although they have simply been replaced by different letters of the word ‘Fortnite’ instead. 

One letter has been hidden in each loading screen since the season began and now, for Week 3, it’s going to be an ‘R’ that you’re looking for. 

The letter R is definitely at Slurpy Swamp and we’re going to show you exactly where to find it.

This week’s loading screen is based on Slurpy Swamp, a location that’s actually been having its fair share of issues since the season began. There was a minor problem – which has since been resolved – preventing players from receiving shield boosts by destroying slurpy barrels at one stage.
