You Can Find Hammerhead Choppas in Fortnite and Use the Loudspeaker to Finish Missions

You will learn where to find the Hammerhead Choppa on the map, how to press the loudspeaker, and how to finish the weekly missions fast. Look for big OXR outposts and the OXR HQ in the north for guaranteed spawns. Ride with your team, fly low for cover, and press the loudspeaker button near enemies to complete tasks quickly.

• OXR outposts and OXR HQ (north) are the best places to find Hammerhead Choppas

• Helipads and platforms hold guaranteed spawns; check open grass for possible spawns

• Sit as passenger and press D‑pad down (or B) to use the loudspeaker; practice shooting insects for passenger hit counts (~50 m)

• Bring heals and shields, play in a team, and fly low to stay safer

• Use the loudspeaker near enemies (within 100 m) and follow a short route to finish missions fast

Where to find the Hammerhead Choppa (quick)

You want a Choppa fast. Head to the northern OXR area — the three OXR outposts and the OXR HQ are the most reliable spawns. Hop in, press D‑pad down (B) to use the loudspeaker near enemies (within 100 m). As a passenger, shoot targets at about 50 m for passenger-hit missions. Bring heals and shields; playing with friends is safer — if you need advice on coordinating across platforms, see our guide to playing with friends on different platforms.

• There are five main spawns that appear more often

• Use D‑pad down (B) to play the loudspeaker

Map legend and main spawn table

Place name	Type	What to look for
OXR Outpost 1 (north)	Guaranteed	helipad / platform
OXR Outpost 2 (north)	Guaranteed	helipad / platform
OXR Outpost 3 (north)	Guaranteed	helipad / platform
OXR HQ (north)	Guaranteed	large helipad
Other small sites	Possible	grass or small platform

• Guaranteed spots almost always have a Choppa.

• Possible spots sometimes spawn one.

How Choppa spawns look

• Choppa sit on helipads or platforms; sometimes on grass.

• They’re large and visible from a short distance.

• Guaranteed spawns = usually on helipads; possible spawns = near buildings or grass.

Fast route tips to find a Choppa

• Drop near the north of the map (OXR cluster).

• Check the three OXR outposts (helipads) first.

• If none, head to OXR HQ.

• If still empty, sweep nearby small sites and grass.

• Use a fast vehicle to move between sites.

• In a team, split: one checks HQ, others check outposts and watch for enemies.

Step-by-step plan to finish both Choppa missions (~15 minutes)

This works solo but is faster with friends.

Step A — Start (0–3 min)

• Drop into northern OXR area.

• Loot quickly: grab heals, shields, a long-range gun, and a close gun.

• Check the first two OXR outposts (helipads).

Step B — Find Choppa and use loudspeaker (3–8 min)

• If you find a Choppa, hop in. Driver or passenger roles: mark spots and prepare guns.

• Press D‑pad down (B) to play the loudspeaker. Ensure music plays when you are within 100 m of enemies.

• As passenger, shoot targets ~50 m away to register hits.

Step C — Finish and survive (8–15 min)

• Fly low and use cover. Land if under heavy fire.

• Move to another outpost or fly toward a small enemy group to repeat loudspeaker passenger shots.

• Missions should finish in one match or two short matches.

How to use the loudspeaker — buttons and tricks

• Button: D‑pad down or B (console). On PC the on-screen key is shown.

• Requirement: music must play while within 100 m of an enemy. You do not need to damage them.

• Trick: play music then circle the enemy from a safe distance to complete the mission without engaging.

Common Choppa missions

• Play music near an enemy (within 100 m).

• Get passenger hits while in a Choppa (targets around 50 m count).

• Fly certain meters or complete a number of Choppa rides.

• Land at special sites or visit outposts in a single match.

You’ll mix loudspeaker use, passenger shots, and fast flying.

Solo plan vs team plan

Solo

• Use guaranteed spots.

• Carry two heals, shields, and a long-range gun.

• Fly low, use loudspeaker, and land to fight if needed.

Team

• Roles: driver, passenger shooter, scout/looter.

• Driver circles near enemies while passenger uses loudspeaker and shoots; scout calls targets.

• Revive and heal together — faster and safer.

How to get passenger hits to count

• Be the passenger.

• Use a mid/long-range gun (assault rifle or SMG works).

• Aim for targets ~50 m away. Shooting insects or small AI targets helps register hits.

• Practice on small, easy targets first — if you want extra practice modes, you can also try other open tests like the Battlefield 6 open beta to sharpen aiming and movement.

Recommended loadout for Choppa missions

• Assault rifle (passenger shots)

• SMG or shotgun (close fights)

• Healing items (Medkit, bandages, small heals)

• Shield potions / mini shields

• Optional: explosive or mobility item (launch pad, remote device)

• Optional: a secondary vehicle or mobility tool

If you prefer controller play, consider tips for better input with modern controllers like the Flexstrike controller.

These let you shoot from the Choppa, heal after landing, and move fast.

Survival tips in a Choppa

• Fly low near buildings or hills for cover.

• Use speed when enemies are near.

• Avoid staying high — you’re an easy target.

• If rockets or heavy fire appear, land and fight or hide.

• Switch pilots if needed — a good pilot keeps the Choppa alive.

Tactical loudspeaker tricks

• Bait: play music to draw enemies’ attention, then ambush.

• Distraction: loudspeaker draws focus while a teammate sneaks.

• Fake retreat: play music, lead enemies into an ambush.

• Rally: use the sound to gather your team quickly.

Common mistakes and fixes

• Flying too high → Fly lower near cover.

• Not bringing heals → Carry at least two heals and shields.

• Waiting for enemies → Go to guaranteed spawns first.

• Playing loudspeaker too far → Ensure music plays within 100 m of enemies.

• Doing everything alone → Bring a friend or squad.

Practical game route to finish both missions (~15 minutes)

• 0–1 min: Drop at northern edge near OXR group; land on a roof or helipad.

• 1–3 min: Check OXR Outpost 1; if empty, move to Outpost 2.

• 3–5 min: Check Outpost 2 and Outpost 3.

• 5–7 min: If none, go to OXR HQ.

• 7–10 min: Find a Choppa, get in. Driver circles low; passenger readies gun. Use loudspeaker near enemies and shoot at ~50 m.

• 10–12 min: If missions aren’t done, hop to the next outpost or fly to a small enemy group and repeat.

• 12–15 min: Land, heal, and finish — both missions should be complete.

Simple map legend to remember

• Red dot = guaranteed spawn (OXR sites & HQ)

• Yellow dot = possible spawn (small sites)

• Blue line = safe low flight path along buildings

• Green box = good landing place with loot & heals
