There are lots of unique gameplay mechanics you might not be aware of until you get a quest asking you to interact with them in Fortnite. One such mechanic is Capture Points, an obscure but useful feature you can use to earn solid loot.
A key mission you need to complete asks you to claim Capture Points in different matches. It's not too tough to get done once you know what Capture Points are and how to find them, so here's how to claim Capture Points in Fortnite.

Where to find Capture Points in Fortnite
Capture Points appear all around the island in Fortnite, so you can come across one just about anywhere. To find one, look for the small white flag icon on the map. Unlike most other icons, this one doesn't appear right away, and instead only pops up once you're decently close to one.
I've come across a Capture Point near the northeast end of Outpost Enclave and near the west end of Resistance Base, but there are plenty more scattered all across the island. They're all marked with a tall post with a ring or purple flags hanging around it.
Claim Capture Points in different matches in Fortnite
To claim Capture Points, you need to stay close to the point until the purple flags raise all the way to the top of the pole. It's quite similar to the old Loot Island system, where you had to stay in the circle right at the center of the floating island until the flag was fully raised and your loot dropped. You need to claim one Capture Point in two different matches to finish this task.
All you need to do is stick close to the pole with the flag until you've fully captured it. It only takes about 20 seconds or so to stake your claim on any Capture Point, so you don't need to defend it for very long.
If any enemy players enter the circle while you're capturing it, your progress is halted until only one player is left in the circle. This means you'll need to eliminate them unless they decide to run off and leave you alone.
What do Capture Points drop in Fortnite?
Capture Points drop an array of random loot, but never anything that special, so you won't find Boons, Mythic weapons, Exotic weapons, or other such items here. Instead, you'll generally get Rare quality items, healing tools, some gold bars, and ammo.
There are plenty of other tricky missions you can tackle around the island next. If you're not sure where to start, try increasing your OXR Rank or slaying the Queen.
