Looking at the Fortnite Island map in-game or above, you’ll notice a train track sprawled across the middle of the Island. The train moves along this track throughout the match, and its current location is displayed on the map via a white train icon.

You can board the train by jumping onto the side or mantling to the roof and hopping down. This train has no brakes, so you’ll need to plan ahead or catch up using movement items to board. I may have crashed once or twice (as seen in the screenshot above), but I managed to eventually board using a nearby car.

To tick off the ‘Complete a Train Heist’ objective of the Weekly Quest, you must loot the cache at the front of the train. The cache works similarly to Combat Caches, in which you activate the cache and wait for the timer to deplete as you stand within range.

A raided train will have graffiti automatically sprayed around the carriage. If you see a particularly colorful train, you’ll know it has already been raided by another player. Let’s hope they don’t use those raided weapons against you and your squad.

If you’ve managed to defend the cache without accidentally riding into the storm or being sniped, you’ll receive the loot inside. Once you’ve “raided” the train, you’ll need to make your way to the Floating Island that eventually spawns, then use the zipline to climb up and claim its capture point to complete the quest.
