Those pesky aliens are continuing their invasion in Fortnite, and Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 carries on, there are new Alien Artifacts available for you to track down across the map and it is the eighth week of new ones being added.

They are dotted about the map in unmarked locations and tracking them down can be tough – although it is much easier if you know where you are going. As for why you would want to find them, well you can use Alien Artifacts to unlock styles for the highly customisable Kymera skin (which comes with the latest battle pass) which makes finding them all a must.

We are now in the seventh week of Fortnite Season 7, which means you have another chance to collect some more with our location guide to the new Alien Artifacts. The Week 8 Alien Artifacts are available when the Week 8 challenges – Legendary and Epic Quests – become available today (Thursday, 29th July).

So once the Fortnite servers are back online and the latest Fortnite patch notes have dropped, there’s nothing stopping you from dropping into the map and tracking them all down – and here is where to look!

Alien Artifact Locations Fortnite Season 7 Week 8

Alien Artifact 1 – Pleasant Park

Head to the east of Pleasant Park and the artifact can be found underneath a large rock

Alien Artifact 2 – Biney Burbs

Keep your eye on the ground as the artifact is between some trees and rocks to the west of Boney Burbs.

Alien Artifact 3 – Corney Complex

Head to the IO base in the area for the third one this week and you will be able to spot it in the northwest corner.

Alien Artifact 4 – Slurpy Swamp

Make your way to Hydro 16 which is to the east of Slurpy Swamp and the artifact can be seen floating in the air.

Alien Artifact 5 – Misty Meadows

A nice easy one to finish, the fifth and final artifact is hidden under a bridge to the East of Misty Meadows.

If you’re struggling to find any of those, the video below should help you track them down:

That now takes us to a total of 40 Alien Artifacts to locate on the Fortnite map. Remember you can also get Alien Artifacts by looting them from Cosmic Chests and these can be found in Squad, Duos and Trios matches. Happy hunting!

Alien Artifact Locations Fortnite Season 7 Week 7

Alien Artifact 1 – Slurpy Swamp

You actually want to head southwest of Slurpy Swamp and when you do, keep an eye out for the base by the satellite dish that is glowing red. Inside the centre building is a bathroom and in the right-hand side stall is what you are hunting.

Alien Artifact 2 – Misty Meadows

Look for the island southeast of Misty Meadows and when you get there you will need to find a shack on the east side. On top of one of the metal beams inside the house is where you will find artifact number two.

Alien Artifact 3 – Lazy Lake

There is a grey coloured building on a bridge to the northwest of Lazy Lake and that is where the third artifact is. It is actually just under the bridge and floating in mid-air so drop off of it and you should catch it on the way down.

Alien Artifact 4 – Steamy Stacks

West of Steamy Stacks and east of Craggy Cliffs is an IO base. When you get there, just walk into the main building and you will soon spot what you are looking for.

Alien Artifact 5 – Stealthy Stronghold

You want to aim for the entrance to the sound of Stealthy Stronghold and look out for two small watchtower rooms with a gate between them. Walk into the left hand side one and that is where our fifth and final week 7 artifact will be waiting for you.

Alien Artifact 4 – Lighthouse

Above Coral Castle in the northwest of the map is the lighthouse in question so go there and the artifact is in the small house right next to it.

Alien Artifact Locations Fortnite Season 7 Week 2

Alien Artifact 1 – Coral Castle

Go to the cove beach at the edge of the map and you will spot the first artifact that needs to be collected.

Alien Artifacts in Fortnite Week 1

You should find one of the Week 1 Alien Artifacts in Catty Corner, atop a big metal pole that you’ll need to build towards in order to reach.

Another Alien Artifact can be found at The Crater (where the Spire used to be), but it’s worth noting that this is quite a busy location on the map and you might run into trouble in the form of other players.

The Weeping Wood is another place where an Alien Artifact can be found, nestled among some piles of wood within a damaged building.

Believer Beach is another place to go in search of Alien Artifacts. You should be able to find one on the stairs of a mini Spire there.

And finally (for now), head over to Corny Complex, where you should be able to find an Alien Artifact in a tree-laden forest area.
