Want to know the best way to locate and deploy ghost traps in Fortnite?
Fortnite is an online battle royale game developed by Epic Games. The game was initially offered as an online co-op shooter game with four players. They take part in defending objects from zombies using traps and fortifications.
For the battle royale mode, you can play it Solo, Duo, or Squad, and at the start, all players are airdropped to the island using the Battle Bus that crosses the entire Fortnite Island.
One of the most exciting parts of the game is that it occasionally hosts crossover events and collaborations with various movies. Recently, Fortnite collaborated with Ghostbusters in time for the upcoming film and Halloween.
The Containment Specialist NPC provides players with a series of Punch Card challenges to complete. The final task you’ll be assigned is locating and deploying ghost traps.
While the challenge isn’t too hard, following a guide will surely help.
Due to this, we’ve decided to show you the best way to locate and deploy ghost traps in Fortnite.
Let’s get started!
What Is a Ghost Trap?
A Fortnite ghost trap is a helpful tool to have at your disposal, given that things are starting to get spooky throughout the entire island. It’s also a Rare Back Bling in Fortnite: Battle Royale that can be purchased from the item shop for 400 V-Bucks.
You can also get the rare ghost trap back bling on the Ghostbusters Gear Bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks.
If you’re familiar with Ghostbusters in any form, you’ll surely know that ghost traps are used to capture and transport spirits to the Containment Unit. With this, it’s no surprise that the Containment Specialist is the one who sent you out to locate and deploy ghost traps in Fortnite.
Once you successfully deploy the ghost traps, you’ll be one step closer to completing the Punch Card for the crossover event with Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Where to Find Ghost Traps in Fortnite?
Locating the ghost traps in Fortnite is not as simple as it looks since not every named POIs has them. However, you’ll only need to deploy one of them. This means that the twelve options we’ll show you should be more than enough to locate a ghost trap.

How to Deploy Ghost Traps
