Recon Camera locations in Fortnite explained
Before you can set up Recon Cameras you must first establish a Device Uplink at any of the three marked locations at Loot Lake.
After you establish a Device Uplink, six possible Recon Camera locations will appear around the Loot Lake area. However, you only need to set up three to complete this Resistance challenge.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is here! It brings a free Lego Insider skin and redemption codes with it, along with a new Victory Umbrella. We've also got pages on new features like Medallions, Weapon Mods, and how to complete a Train Heist. Meanwhile, learn what the best weapons are in the current season, how to get XP fast, and what the best PC settings are to help earn a Victory Crown.
The first Recon Camera location is on the shore opposite the northside of the small island in the middle of Loot Lake. The second Recon Camera can be found by going to the southside of this island in the middle of the lake.
For the third Recon Camera location, go southeast of the middle island to a hill overlooking the northern dock of Tilted Towers. Head directly east of this location to find the fourth Recon Camera near a clump of trees by a yellow house.
Start heading toward Coney Crossroads and cross the river to find the fifth Recon Camera location on a hill to the west of Coney Crossroads, overlooking the Tilted Towers IO Blimp. The sixth and last Recon Camera can be found by following the northwestern shoreline from the fifth location.
You can set up Recon Cameras in any order, and the challenge progress will carry over between matches. So, no need to worry about revistiting a location if you already set a camera up there.
After setting up three Recon Cameras, you will unlock the next stage of the Week 6 Resistance challenges which requires you to establish another Device Uplink, then kill an IO guard and deliver dead drop intel.
