The Authority location in Fortnite explained

The Authority is located in the centre of the Fortnite map in E4.

There are multiple ways to enter The Authority; you can land on the walls and zip line in, glide to the top of the building or simply swim through the main entrance.

In previous seasons, The Authority was home to a number of hostile NPC characters, but now, as the cobwebs suggest, it has been abandoned, making other players the only enemy you have to look out for.

The best way to destroy a cobweb is by shooting it and you'll need to destroy three in total to complete this challenge, so make sure you keep an eye on the counter.
