Fortnite Alien Artifacts locations - are there Week 11 alien artifacts and where to find previous weeks

We've seen a total of 50 Fortnite alien artifacts spawning at regular intervals so far during the course of the season, but Week 11 marks a change to this as at the time of writing no additional artifacts have appeared. This could be due to a glitch, or an intentional plan to only run these collectibles for the first 10 weeks, but for now all we can do is ensure we've gathered up as many of the existing floating containers as possible by passing through them. Handily you'll see a purple question mark icon on the map when one is nearby, so it's easier to track them down when you're close.

Once you've banked a decent amount of this resource, you can use it to unlock a whole host of customization options for Kymera, who you should know by now as the alien you received as a reward at the start of the Battle Pass, and by using various combinations of styles there are over 2,000 different looks you can create. With new locations for these resources being added each week, there's an ever increasing number of them to track down in Fortnite, so our guide will reveal all of the Fortnite alien artifacts locations up to Week 11.

However, you should be aware that once you've collected Fortnite alien artifacts from those locations, they won't respawn at the same positions so you can't keep returning to the same place each match to rack them up. Five more Fortnite alien artifacts locations are being added each week, and they will remain in place until you've collected them so you don't need to worry about rushing to find them in the week they arrive.

The other way to get Fortnite alien artifacts is to open Cosmic Chests, which only appear in squad-based game modes. Once you find a Cosmic Chest, which looks like a chest encased in a floating purple crystal, an urgent quest will trigger and the rest of your Duo/Trio/Squad needs to gather around to activate it. Only then will weak points be revealed to break it open and collect the contents inside, including some Fortnite alien artifacts to add to your resources.

How to use Fortnite Alien Artifacts

Once you've collected some Fortnite alien artifacts, you can spend them on customizing your Kymera character, by accessing the menu from the Battle Pass section or following the shortcut from the rewards screen at the end of a match where you've collected artifacts. You can change everything from head appearance, eye color, skin color and pattern, and armor color, glow, and emblem display. Note that the cost in Fortnite alien artifacts increases from left to right across each category, and to purchase the final item you need to have claimed all previous items in that category.
