What is an Ascender in Fortnite?

An Ascender is basically a vertical zipline that helps you climb up (or down) the side of a mountain or one of the Imagined Order Blimps that are located above POIs like The Daily Bugle or Tilted Towers.

To use them, simply approach the Ascender wire and press the interact button to zip up or down.

Where to find Ascenders on Fortnite map

You can find Ascenders scattered all around the Fortnite map, usually at the bottom of cliffs or mountains to make a quick climb to the top.

If you want to give yourself the best possible chance of stumbling across one, we recommend heading to the Desert section at the bottom of the map, as there are a lot of cliffs with Ascenders dotted around the area.

We’ve also listed some easy-to-find Ascenders at named locations below:

Fortnite Ascender locations at Chonker’s Speedway

To find the Ascender at Chonker’s Speedway, head towards the giant rock formation on the northwest side of the racecourse. On the northern side of this rock, there’s an Ascender you can zip up or down.

We’ve marked the Ascender location on the Chonker’s Speedway map below:

Fortnite Ascender locations at Covert Cavern

The Ascender at Covert Cavern is underneath the middle of the Imagined Order Blimp that’s floating in the sky. Head underneath it and you should see a line descending from the Blimp – use it to zip up.

We’ve marked the Ascender location on the Covert Cavern map below:

Once you’ve found an Ascender, you have to deal 100 damage within 30 seconds of using it, after which 20,000 XP will be added to your account – and hopefully, your Battle Pass will be leveled up!
