Fortnite Battle Royale has long relied on Gold as the main form of currency. In the initial chapters, players bartered essential materials such as wood, brick, and metal to procure valuable items from vending machines. Fast forward to the present, and players now engage with Gold to secure weapons and gear from Black Markets, vending machines, and NPCs. However, with the recent release of Chapter 6, Season 2, a fresh currency known as Dill Bits has emerged, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
Dill Bits are not easily acquired; only the most daring players will manage to gather this elusive resource. But the effort is surely rewarded, as Dill Bits can significantly enhance gameplay. This guide outlines everything you need to know about Dill Bits, including acquisition methods and spending options.
Acquiring Dill Bits in Fortnite
To collect Dill Bits in Fortnite, players should search vaults located throughout the Battle Royale island. These vaults are strategically placed in areas like Crime City, Seaport City, Masked Meadows, and Lonewolf Lair. Notably, the train that perpetually circulates the map features a vault that contains two Dill Bits.
While players will encounter Armored Trucks with vault doors requiring destruction for loot retrieval, it is important to note that these trucks do not hold Dill Bits.
To access a vault, players must first find Thermite, typically available as floor loot or within chests. Players can then apply the Thermite to the vault door, gradually weakening it. Hitting or shooting at the vault door’s weak spots can hasten this process. A meter displayed at the top of the screen indicates progress towards opening the vault. Once filled, the vault can be opened, allowing players to claim their loot, including those coveted Dill Bits.
Utilizing Dill Bits in Fortnite
What Are Dill Bits Used For?
It is essential to understand that unlike Gold, Dill Bits are not accumulative throughout the season. When a match concludes, any Dill Bits collected will reset to zero for the next game. Therefore, players should prioritize spending their Dill Bits as soon as they gather them.
To utilize Dill Bits effectively, players need to locate Black Markets scattered across the Fortnite map. Each of the three Black Markets offers a unique selection of weapons and items. While some items are only available through Gold transactions, certain premium items can only be acquired with Dill Bits. Below is a breakdown of the Dill Bit offerings at various Black Market locations:
| Black Market Location | Items Available |
|---|---|
| Magic Mosses |
|
| Crime City |
|
| Masked Meadows/Seaport City |
|
Regardless of item type or rarity, all items at the Black Market require 1 Dill Bit for purchase.
