Funding Stations returned to the Fortnite map in Chapter 3 Season 2.
These Funding Stations allow players to vote on what items will be added into the game in the future. There’s usually two options, with each costing a certain Gold Bar amount to select.
It’s essentially a vote, with players given the opportunity to spend Gold Bars in the hope of bringing a special item into the game at a future date. Here’s where to find Fortnite Funding Stations, and how to use them.
Note: Fortnite Funding Stations are currently disabled while two new items are trialled. They will be reactivated May 17th, offering two new items to vote on.
What’s new? Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include red and blue lines on the Fortnite map and Rebuilding quests, including finding and destroying a IO Build Jammer.

Funding Station locations at a glance
Funding Stations can be found at almost all named locations on the Fortnite map – the map below shows their locations at a glance.
Once you’ve landed at one of the locations circled on the map above, you’ll want to look out for a particular icon on your minimap. It looks like a small bag of money, and will appear once you are within a certain range of the Funding Station. You can see this in the image below.
When Funding Stations are live, you will be able to approach them and interact to trigger the vote. You will then need to spend the required Gold Bars to cast your vote. There are always two options, ranging from vehicles to weapons and consumables.
If you’re struggling to find a Funding Station, note that they look like small message boards. You can see one in the image below.
Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Prowler skin, along with the return of jetpacks and Choppas.
Star Wars have returned to Fortnite! There are Star Wars skins and challenges to enjoy, along with lightsabers appearing across the island.

When are Funding Stations next going live?
Funding Stations are not always online and activated. Instead, they are saved for limited periods where players can seek them out to cast votes. Currently, the two items being trialled are the Bubble Shield and Balloons items. On May 17th, the Funding Stations will go live, and you’ll be able to cast your vote for what you would like to see added long-term.
