To prevent players from camping until the end of the match, Fortnite Battle Royale has a circle that shrinks over time, pushing them together as the match goes on.

Knowing where the next storm circle will form can be a great advantage and help players get a Victory Royale in Fortnite, as they can begin moving towards it and claim the most strategic zones. Players can get access to information on the next storm circle by securing KBBL Radio Towers in Fortnite, and this guide will show them how.

KBBL Radio Tower Locations in Fortnite

There are four KBBL Radio Towers on the map of Springfield, but only two of them will spawn per match. Here is where the KBBL Radio Towers can spawn in Fortnite:

  • KBBL Radio Tower #1 - Between Cletus's Corn Hole and Kamp Krusty
  • KBBL Radio Tower #2 - East of Donut District
  • KBBL Radio Tower #3 - Southwest of Evergreen Terrace, near the tire fire
  • KBBL Radio Tower #4 - Between Burns Manor and Corruption Corner

Two radio towers will spawn per match, and they are connected in pairs, meaning the same two towers will always spawn together. If KBBL Radio Tower #1 spawns, then KBBL Radio Tower #2 will also spawn. Therefore, if #3 spawns, so will #4, but #1 and #2 will not appear at all.

Players can check which towers will be available by searching for them while on the Battle Bus or by looking for the KBBL Radio Tower icon right before the second storm circle closes in.

How to Secure a KBBL Radio Tower in Fortnite

To secure a KBBL Radio Tower in Fortnite, players have to go near their location and wait for the Dober Men henchmen to spawn, as they have the access card.

About 45 seconds before the second storm circle begins to close, the Dober Men henchmen will appear near the KBBL Radio Towers. Players have to take down the two weaker enemies and the mini-boss. Upon being eliminated, the boss will drop an access keycard, which players must take to the broadcast console - this will show them the upcoming storm circle before it forms.
