All Fortnite TIE Fighter locations
The Fortnite Galactic Battle update introduced TIE Fighters, scattering them across the island. Rival players raced to claim them too. While TIE Fighter spawns weren't as predictable as X-Wings, you could still count on at least two locations where they were likely to appear.
Here are all the Fortnite TIE Fighter locations:
- First Order Base
- Vader Samurai's Solitude
- Canyon Crossing (North of this POI, at the Empire Outpost)
- Flooded Frogs (South of this POI, complete mini-quest)
The Flooded Frogs TIE Fighter required some repairs, which were part of a mini-quest.
How do I fix the TIE Fighter in Fortnite?
To fix the TIE Fighter in Fortnite, you needed to complete a mini-quest that involved gathering parts from an Empire Outpost, which is just south of Flooded Frogs. All of the parts were highlighted at the outpost and needed to be interacted with for a few seconds.
