I dropped into Friendship Villa with the storm already whispering at the edge and two rivals closing fast. You can feel the panic tighten—finding that map fragment felt like dropping a pin on a satellite photo. I grabbed it under a single tree and turned a messy match into a quick win.
How to get the third map fragment in Fortnite Treasure Hunters
The middle of Friendship Villa has sparse greenery compared with its clustered buildings.
I’ll keep this brief: the fragment is not marked on the in-game map, so you must land visually. Head to the northern edge of the island and aim for the POI called Friendship Villa. Your target is the building directly opposite the Crusty Cod—there’s a lone tree at its base. Land on or near that tree, drop to the trunk, crouch, and you’ll see the fragment resting on the ground. Interact with it to add it to your collection.
Drop from the flight path early if you want a clean approach—Friendship Villa attracts players because of NPCs and good loot. If you prefer a quieter run, land on the tree’s roof or a nearby wall to scope the area before you touch the ground.
Where is the third map fragment in Fortnite Treasure Hunters?
It sits at ground level under a solitary tree at the base of the building directly opposite the Crusty Cod. The fragment won’t show on the map or your HUD. Your visual cue is the tree: it’s one of the few in the POI’s center, so it stands out when you’re dropping in.
Can I miss the fragment at Friendship Villa?
Yes—if you get dragged into fights or the tree gets destroyed by explosives you won’t be able to pick it up until you return. Treat it like a small prize: clear the immediate perimeter, recruit an NPC if it helps, then approach. If another player grabs it first, you’ll need to rotate and try another POI; Treasure Hunters spreads fragments across the map over several weeks, so there’s always another opportunity.
I recommend checking community hubs like Fortnite’s official channels, Discord servers for your region, and creators on YouTube or Twitch for live drops and alternative routes. Tools such as fn.gg or Fortnite.gg can help you track POI changes and hot drops if you prefer planning before you land.
Quick tactics: land slightly off-target to scout, use buildings as cover while you approach the tree, and keep an eye on NPCs—some will help, others will complicate the fight. The fragment is literal and small; once you touch it the quest registers immediately.
So will you sprint for Friendship Villa next match or play it safe and push a quieter POI?
