Time is ticking as you chase the DeLorean through Chapter 7-only a slip of fate stands between you and the ultimate time-bender.
Fortnite DeLorean Vehicle Locations on Chapter 7 Map
The DeLorean vehicles in Fortnite Chapter 7 are scattered across several high-traffic zones on the map, often near gas stations, large landmarks, or city centers. Players can frequently spot one in Neo Tilted, another by Dusty Docks, and a few along the coastal roads connecting major hubs. These vehicles spawn in limited numbers each match, so visiting multiple potential sites may increase your chances of finding one. Keep an eye out for their distinctive metallic finish and flashing lights, which make them stand out from other cars on the battlefield.
The DeLorean works similarly to a normal vehicle when it comes to Fortnite spawns. It is added to the game with the Winterfest 2025 update. You will find most of them near the gas stations or garages, like how you can find the Whiplash. However, some of these are also randomly parked near lodges, mountains, or hidden behind houses. Don’t worry; you won’t have to go through the Fortnite Chapter 7 map to find these locations.
Below, we have mentioned all the guaranteed DeLorean vehicle spawn locations in Fortnite Chapter 7:
- East of Wonkeeland
- Sandy Strip
- Sus Studios
- Humble Hills
How to Use the Fortnite DeLorean Vehicle
The DeLorean in Fortnite isn’t just for style-it’s fast, responsive, and great for quick getaways or chasing opponents. To use it, hop in and accelerate like any other vehicle, but keep an eye on its limited boost feature that gives you short bursts of speed. Mastering the boost timing is key during fights or escapes. The DeLorean also handles well on roads and slightly off-road, so plan your routes to avoid rough terrain that slows it down.
Using the DeLorean time machine in Fortnite is just like using a normal vehicle. You get all the default vehicle controls in it. However, the first time you reach the mark of 88 MPH on the speed meter with the DeLorean, you enter a different dimension for a brief period. Once you come back, a Plutonium Crate chest with legendary loot spawns on top of the Fortnite DeLorean. And as you can guess, after using this ‘time machine’, you can get some of the OG weapons from the chest.
Here are some of the OG items you can get from the chest if you’re lucky:
- Drum Gun
- Six Shooter
- Hunting Rifle
- Compact SMG
- OG Pump Shotgun
- Infantry Rifle
- Lever Action
- OG Assault Rifle
- Minigun
Loot the crate to get the best Fortnite Chapter 7 weapons. After you have used the chest, the car becomes a normal Whiplash with cosmetics. While the loot is a great addition, you can hold onto the time drift power for critical situations.
As soon as you encounter multiple enemies, you can use the speed to vanish into the air for a while, and that can help you get another Victory umbrella if you play the cards right. While you can get the chest only once from one DeLorean, there are no limits to using other ones. So, if you want another chest, you can just find another DeLorean and use it to get the chest.
Best routes to reach DeLorean spawn points fast
To reach DeLorean spawn points fast in Chapter 7, land just outside the hot POI, grab a gun and mobility, then rotate along roads toward one guaranteed spawn (Sandy Strip, Sus Studios, Humble Hills, or near Clawsy/Clawsy Lodge). Planning a route that chains a couple of these spots plus nearby gas stations gives you the best odds of securing a car early.
Route ideas by side of map
-
West side: Land at a small unnamed building or hill west of Sandy Strip, loot one chest, then slide or sprint down the slope straight into Sandy Strip’s road/parking lot where the DeLorean spawns.
-
South side: Drop on an outlying house near Sus Studios or Battle Blvd, then push in along the road, checking garages and parking lots on the edge of the POI instead of the center.
-
North side: Land at a small shack or gas station near Clawsy Lodge, loot quickly, then move to the station west of Clawsy where a DeLorean can sit by the dumpsters/parking.
-
Center / hills: Start at a lone house near Humble Hills, gear up in 30-40 seconds, then run or use any car down the roads that snake through the residential area where the DeLorean can spawn in driveways or garages.
Fastest movement and timing tips
-
Aim to leave your landing building by 0:45-1:00 with at least one gun, some shields, and full sprint, then be entering the DeLorean POI around 1:15-1:30 when most players are still looting.
-
Prioritize mobility items (Medallion sprint, ODM-style gear, launch pads, grapplers, etc. when available this season) so you can cut across hills and reach the car before zone pulls you away.
-
Use any regular car you find on your path: even a short road hop lets you check two spawn-rich spots (for example, a gas station plus a POI parking lot) in one rotation.
Safer vs. riskier paths
-
Safer: Land off-POI, rotate in from high ground or cover (trees, rocks, rooftops), clear one or two players, then take the DeLorean once the first chaos dies down.
-
Riskier / fastest: Glide directly toward the known DeLorean parking lot, grab the nearest floor weapon, and immediately contest the car; great for aggressive players but you risk dying before you even reach 88 mph.
If the DeLorean is gone
-
Immediately swap to “backup” spawns on your route: hit the next gas station on the same road, then the next nearby named POI known to have a DeLorean or other vehicles.
-
Keep following major roads: DeLoreans and other cars frequently spawn along them, so you can still grab a vehicle to rotate to another guaranteed spot and try again.
Fastest landing spots to reach Sandy Strip DeLorean
The fastest way to reach the Sandy Strip DeLorean is to land at the small unnamed waterfall area just west/left of Sandy Strip, loot quickly, then sprint or slide straight into the southeast parking lot where the car usually spawns. This spot is close, has decent loot and shields, and is usually less contested than dropping directly on the POI.
Optimal nearby landing spots
-
Sandy Strip Waterfall (unnamed POI)
-
Located just to the west/left of Sandy Strip with several chests, shield barrels, and a Slurp Truck slightly northeast.
-
From here you can glide or run directly into Sandy Strip’s southeastern side where the DeLorean is parked in the lot.
-
-
Small hills/buildings west of Sandy Strip
-
Land on a lone house or hill structure west of the city, grab 1-2 chests, then slide downhill along the road that leads straight into Sandy Strip.
-
This path gives elevation advantage and lets you scout if someone already grabbed the car before you commit.
-
Approach path into the DeLorean
-
Aim to leave your landing building by about 0:45-1:00 with a gun and at least partial shields, heading directly toward the main road cutting through Sandy Strip.
-
Enter from the west or southwest edge and cut diagonally toward the southeast parking lot, using cars, walls, and signs as cover because that lot is the usual DeLorean spawn.
When Sandy Strip is super hot
-
If the bus path goes directly over Sandy Strip, start at the waterfall or a west hill instead of the city center to avoid landing on five other players.
-
If you see the car claimed mid-glide, continue past Sandy Strip to another vehicle or gas station on the same road and then rotate back if the driver leaves it behind.
