The quest is tied to a specific location on the Fortnite map but getting there isn’t as simple as dropping from the Battle Bus.

You’ll need to wait for the floating Metallica loot island to appear after the third storm circle closes. This island is hard to miss with its massive Metallica holograms rocking out above the stage.

Once you’ve spotted the island look for a Rift nearby to help you land on top.

On top of the floating loot island, find an opening with a bright “Gutbombs Tasteland” sign. This leads to an underground tunnel where your objective awaits:

  • Inside the tunnel follow the path until you come across some furniture and speakers.
  • Behind a couch, you’ll see graffiti on the wall that reads “Cliff ‘Em All” along with an image of hands in an iconic pose.
  • Approach this spot and voila! You’ve just completed the secret quest earning yourself a cool 10000 XP.

But what’s the story behind this memorial? It’s actually a heartfelt tribute to Cliff Burton, Metallica’s former bassist who tragically passed away in 1986.

The band released a video compilation titled “Cliff ‘Em All” in his honor which inspired this in-game easter egg.

Tips for Success

Reaching the floating island in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 can be tricky since it’s often a hot spot for action. Here are some tips:

  • Stay alive until at least the fourth circle
  • Keep an eye on your map for the island’s location
  • Use the Rift to quickly reach the top
  • Be prepared for potential confrontations

Remember timing is crucial. The island doesn’t spawn immediately so patience is key. But once you make it don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate this touching tribute while enjoying your well-earned XP boost.

So gear up, drop in, and rock on! This secret Metallica quest in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is waiting for you to uncover it.

Stay tuned for upcoming releases and check out new updates in the Fortnite v30.10 patch notes, including how to get the Metallica skins and cosmetics!
