Want to find Symbiotes in Fortnite?
Epic Game’s free-to-play battle royale, Fortnite, is a widely popular game that receives regular updates. It has various gameplay options that every type of player can enjoy. From Battle Royale to Save the World mode, Fortnite got a lot in store for you.
With every game season, you can expect more exciting content and collaborations to roll out.
Fortnite releases new weapons, features, and skins routinely, which can be used in-game to sustain players’ excitement. For Season 8, Fortnite collaborated with Fortnite and released new mythic weapons based on Venom and Carnage, two popular characters from Marvel.
Venom and Carnage Symbiotes can be found in canisters and appear randomly on Fortnite Island. Like other weapons, the Symbiote canisters can be extremely complex to find.
Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place.
In this guide, we’ll show you the most effective way to find Symbiotes in Fortnite.
Let’s get started!
Venom and Carnage Symbiotes Location
The canisters for the Carnage and Venom Symbiotes won’t appear at the very start of the match. This means that the mythic weapons only spawn after a minute into the game or after the first storm circle shows up.
To grab the first canister, you should hover in the air after exiting the Battle Bus and wait for the storm circle.
Now, look for the Symbiote icon on the map, and head towards the closest one. There will be a few that spawn each game. The Symbiotes’ location will appear with a spider-like symbol on your minimap.
Once you’re in the location, ensure no other players are in the area and interact with the canister to obtain the weapon.
While there’s no specific spawn location, we’ve observed that the Symbiote canisters appear more in the landscape northwest of Corny Crops and southeast of Boney Burbs.
The easiest way to find them is to start in the middle of the map. This way, you’ll be equally close to any side of Fortnite Island.
What Does the Symbiote Do?
Once you have the Symbiote, you can grab opponents and pull them in for 60 DMG. However, keep in mind that there’s a 10-second cooldown between each use of the Symbiote. Take out your melee weapon right away, and start hitting your enemy before they can recover.
The Symbiotes also gives you buffs that increase your speed and glider re-deploy.
