The map has received a number of changes for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, and one of the new features is the addition of mechanisms called Ascenders. For one of the Seasonal Quests, players will need to use an Ascender at Chonker’s Speedway or Command Cavern, and in this guide we’ll explain everything you need to know to complete the challenge and earn that XP.
What Fortnite Ascenders Are
Ascenders look like vertical zipwires that players can hook onto to quickly move up them. These are often found around the bottom of the Airships hovering in the air, or other high-to-reach places such as tall cliffs and mountains.
We’ve included a screenshot of what a Fortnite Ascender looks like below.
Using an Ascender in Fortnite
To use an Ascender, walk over to it and press X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, Y on Switch or E on PC to use it. Doing so will cause your character to move up the Ascender to the very top of it.
You can let go of an Ascender at any time by pressing A/ X/ B/ Space.
Where to Find Ascenders at Chonker’s Speedway & Command Cavern
The Ascender at Chonker’s Speedway can be found in the northwest corner of the raceway, on the northern side of the cliff marked on the map below.
The Ascender at Command Cavern is far easier to find. Simply land on the IO Airship in the north of this named location and look for one of the vertical ziplines hanging down from it. We’ve marked the location of one of these on the map for your convenience, too.
That’s everything you need to know about Fortnite Ascenders. For more tips and tricks on the current season, be sure to search for Twinfinite or check out more of our coverage on the game below.
