Data drive locations in Fortnite explained
Before you can recover a data drive in Fortnite, you must first establish a device uplink near the Daily Rubble to activate the challenge.
The Daily Rubble is a new landmark which was created after the IO Blimp which once flew above The Daily Bugle crashed into the sea south-west of this named location. It’s not hard to miss thanks to those blimps being quite large.
Once you’ve activated the quest, you’ll need to swim over to the downed blimp and recover one of the data drives.
Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Prowler skin, Cow Catchers, red and blue lines on the Fortnite map and Rebuilding quests, including finding and destroying a IO Build Jammer and recovering the missing Battle Bus Plans.
There are also Resistance quests to complete, including securing intel from dead drops, planting wiretraps, recovering a data drive and setting up direct relays.
Jetpacks have also returned!
Meanwhile the Victory Crowns andcharacter collection have reset, while there is a new Victory Umbrella to find.

One data drive can be found at the southern end of the blimp on the remains of the tail.
The second data drive is located at the northern end and you’ll need to run up the blimp to find it near a vent.
Remember – you only need to recover one data drive to complete this Fortnite challenge.
