What Are Dill Bits For in Fortnite?

Gold has been the primary currency in Fortnite Battle Royale for years now. In the first chapter of the game, players would use materials, such as wood, brick, and metal, to purchase valuable items from vending machines. However, they now use gold to acquire weapons and items from Black Markets, vending machines, and NPCs.

Epic Games introduced players to an unexpected currency in Chapter 6 Season 2: Dill Bits. This unique resource is very hard to obtain – only the bravest of players will be able to collect Dill Bits -, but it’s 100 percent worth it, as it can provide a great advantage. This guide will tell players what they need to know about Dill Bits, including where to find this currency and where to spend it.

How to Get Dill Bits in Fortnite

To collect Dill Bits in Fortnite, gamers will have to search inside vaults on the Battle Royale island. These vaults can be found at Crime City, Seaport City, Masked Meadows, and Lonewolf Lair. Additionally, the train that consistently rides around the map also has a vault that holds two Dill Bits inside.

Players must acquire Thermite, which is a common spawn as floor loot and inside chests, and place it on the vault door. Doing so will weaken it over time, and gamers can even speed up the process by hitting or shooting the vault door weakspot.

A meter on the upper part of the screen will let players know how close they are to opening the vault door. Once it has been filled, it will open, and they can get inside, and collect the loot, including the Dill Bits.

There items that can only be purchased with gold, and then there is a smaller selection that can only be exclusively obtained with Dill Bits. Here are items that gamers can purchase with Dill Bits at each Black Market:
