Fortnite challenge guide: Launch toilets with a Grab-itron

The latest set of challenges for Fortnite season 7 is here, this time for week 9. The season is almost over, but we’ve got a little more to do before it wraps up. This week, you’re required to launch toilets with a Grab-itron, which is a weapon that — you guessed it — allows you to grab and launch items around the world. This challenge is actually a bit of a pain, not because it’s hard, but because it can take a while to get a Grab-itron to spawn.

In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about completing this challenge. Here’s how to launch toilets with a Grab-itron in Fortnite.

First, you’ll want to get your hands on the Grab-itron, which is a purple device that can be used to launch items found throughout the map. The problem is, finding this weapon can be tough since it doesn’t seem to spawn too often. Ideally, you should land in an area with lots of buildings such as Lazy Lake or Steamy Stacks. These areas are home to many chests, which contain the device you’re looking for. In fact, we advise going toward a place with toilets, which are usually found inside buildings at the aforementioned locations (this way, you won’t have to travel far once you do get the Grab-itron).

Once you land, you should make it a priority to loot as much as possible, opening up every chest you can find. With a little luck, you’ll stumble upon the Grab-itron, but if you’re like us, it might take you a little while to find it. Make sure you have Visualize Sound Effects turned on so you can easily pinpoint the locations of chests. Keep looting and make sure you take out nearby opponents, as they might drop a Grab-itron if they had one on hand.

As always, we advise bringing a squad along with you to help you find the weapon and so they can watch your back as you look around.

Once you’ve gotten your hands on it, all you have to do is launch two toilets. They don’t need to be in the same match, though we’d recommend getting this challenge done ASAP since finding the Grab-itron is so tricky. When we completed the challenge on our end, we landed at Steamy Stacks, which is a great spot that’s often less busy than others. Here, there are multiple bathrooms with toilets, so assuming you’ve found a Grab-itron, you should have no trouble launching two before the end of the match.

Otherwise, you’ll need to head to the next building with a bathroom to find another toilet to launch. After you launch two, you’ll gain credit for completing the challenge.

The best places to land in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, the iconic island is back again, but with three new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.

Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.
