Where to find and stoke campfires in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1

Campfires have been in Fortnite since time immemorial. They were once utility items in the "traps" category but have long since been vaulted. The only campfires that now exist in-game are those that are part of the map itself.

Keeping aesthetics aside, players can light them up to regenerate HP for themselves, squadmates, and even vehicles. However, to truly utilize this item in-game, players must stoke it and fan the flame.

To better understand the power of fire, the developers are tasking Loopers with stoking campfires 10 times. Those who manage to complete the task will feel the warm embrace of the heat and be rewarded with 25,000 experience points as well.

Things to remember when interacting with campfires in Fortnite Chapter 3

Campfires restore two HP per second. When stoked, this doubles to four HP/second. While they can't be moved or carried about like the "trap" version, they provide substantial healing in-game. However, there are risks involved as well.

Players can set themselves alight by stepping onto the campfire. This can be dangerous if they are on low health. Thankfully, they will be able to heal afterward. In addition to using wood, players can also light campfires using firefly jars and flare guns.
