Reality Seed Pods are just one of many oddities introduced to the Fortnite island in Chapter 3 Season 3 and with the arrival of this week’s quests, players can seek them out and break three of them for a 15,000 XP reward. Fortnite challenges frequently range from the weird and wonderful to the outright challenging, and completing them rewards players with valuable XP to put towards earning all the cosmetics in the latest Fortnite Battle Pass. Locating Reality Seed Pods can be a little challenging given that they spawn in several different locations, but with some planning, the player can easily check this particular quest off their lists.
With the arrival of Season 3, the Fortnite island map received another refresh, with the gigantic Reality Tree appearing and spreading its roots all across the island. As their name suggests, Reality Seed Pods tend to spawn in great numbers wherever the Reality Tree’s roots are exposed. Over the course of Season 3, these roots have continued to spread out from the new Reality Falls Named Location towards other places such as Logjam Lotus, Greasy Grove, and Shuffled Shrines.
In order to break Reality Seed Pods and complete one of the quests introduced as part of the latest set of Fortnite weekly quests, the player should choose a location where several pods are guaranteed to spawn in every match. While this won’t prevent other players landing at the same spot to try and break the pods first, knowing where they can be found gives the player the chance to plan ahead.
Where To Find Reality Seed Pods In Fortnite
There are three main areas in Fortnite where the player can find several Reality Seed Pods: Reality Falls, Logjam Lotus, and Shuffled Shrines; other locations such as Rave Cave may have a few pods, but these are typically spread out over a much wider area, making them much more difficult to find. Players landing at Reality Falls will likely have to rush off to find one of Fortnite’s new assault rifles before completing their quests, as the area is currently a highly popular landing spot in the Fortnite meta. However, the large concentration of available pods and abundance of useful equipment arguably makes it the best spot to complete that Week 6 quest objective.
Logjam Lotus and Shuffled Shrines are not as popular, but both are dense built-up areas with a lot of equipment and plenty of places to hide. This makes them a dangerous starting point for players, as it’s much more difficult to spot enemy players before they get up close and personal. Shuffled Shrines also tends to attract players trying to complete Part 5 of Fortnite’s Vibin’ questline, but overall both of these locations tend to offer a less hectic early-game compared to Reality Falls, where it's almost guaranteed that the player will encounter other players looking to score some early eliminations. Another great location is Butter Bloom southwest of Rocky Reels, where there are a few pods in close proximity to one another. As this is a smaller location, there’s a greater chance that the player will be able to break pods in peace, but players should be aware that Butter Bloom’s layout and overall design will change between matches.
Regardless of location, all the player has to do is climb up the root to reach the seed pod and hit it a few times with their pickaxe to break it. While it’s a little less technical and fun than some of Fortnite’s recent Grapple Glove challenges, it’s still a good idea for players to set aside a match to find these pods and complete the quest for that 15,000 XP reward.
Fortnite is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC.
