Fortnite Black Markets: Where are they and how to use them

Fortnite Black Markets are a fresh addition to the battle royale, and they can help you get your hands on some extremely rare weapons or helpful items – as long as you have the means to pay for them! While Gold Bars are much more readily available during Fortnite Season 2, the prices at the Black Market reflect this so there are no bargain weapons to be purchased, and some of the rarest ones can only be bought with the new Dill Bits that you'll find if you successfully rob a vault and search Fortnite Dill Bit Display Cases. Following the v34.10 update there are also backrooms in each of the Black Markets, which you'll need to unlock and upgrade the Fortnite Outlaw Keycard to access. To discover more information about the way this all works, here's how to find and use Black Markets in Fortnite.

Where are the Fortnite Black Markets?

There are three Fortnite Black Markets in total, which can be found in the locations marked on the map above, and they should also be visible on the in-game map as a small market icon. All of them are actually hidden underground, so once you arrive at the destination you'll have to head down to find them – at Backwoods you should look for the stairs inside the pagoda, for Boom Hole you need to find one of two gates leading into the rock face with a grind rail behind them, and at Rogue Repairs you'll need to go down the stairs in the garage.

Once you're inside one of the Fortnite Black Markets you can approach the various cases to browse what weapons and items are for sale, and the prices vary significantly depending on the rarity of the product – you can pick up some Thermite for just 50 Gold Bars, while an Epic Plasma Burst Rifle will set you back 600! There are also certain weapons that you can only buy using a Dill Bit, which is obtained by cracking open and robbing a vault. While Gold Bars can be accumulated across many games, Dill Bits are only valid for the match in which they're collected, so if you get you hands on any you should make a beeline for the nearest Black Market to cash them in.
