With the newest Fortnite Chapter 3 update, players are now itching at the chance to find a tornado. Sure, this may look intimidating at first. However, it’s the only tornado you actually want to run toward rather than away from.

How to Find a Tornado in Fortnite Chapter 3

There’s much to unload with Chapter 3 of Fortnite. Besides the obvious with the new skins, there are cool features that can change the outlook of your battle. The Shield Keg, for instance, can come in handy in a tough battle when you need to beef up your shields quickly. And you can get yourself a tent to rest up a bit after taking some heavy damage or simply as a means to store your items. If you find a tornado in Fortnite, it is yet another helpful feature to take advantage of.

Even so, it’s not so straightforward to find one. Tornadoes are completely random. So, you’ll just have to keep your eyes peeled. Thankfully, a giant tornado isn’t something you’ll miss. Try checking out around the water if you want to see something even more awesome.

When you do, you’ll be sucked into the vortex with all the other debris and players. You can check out the tornado at any time and glide somewhere else. Or you can just wait and see when it decides to toss you out.

Still, you’ll want to try to find a tornado in Fortnite Chapter 3 for a few reasons.

1: It will let you complete one of Week 6’s challenges. You’ll have to travel 100 meters while flying inside a tornado, and this will net you a nice 25,000 XP.

2: It can get you out of a battle that may not be going your way. We all get into those fights that we just can’t win, and a quick escape is needed. A tornado can be just the escape you need.

3: It’s just fun to do. Yes, getting sucked up into any tornado you can find in Fortnite Chapter 3 is equal parts terrifying and thrilling. So, if you just want to have a bit of fun, don’t avoid that dark cyclone when it shows its face.
