How to jam at a Named Location in Fortnite

Jamming out at a named location requires visiting any spot on your Fortnite map that has a name before opening your emote wheel and scrolling through your options until you find your jam loops. Pick any you have unlocked and choose an instrument to play yoౠur chosen song.

Jam objectives in Fortnite vary depending on the week, season, and event. For example, during Fortnite’s Cowboy Bebop collaborative event, you have to jam out for five seconds at any named location. It doesn’t matter if you go to Seaport City, Flooded Frogs, or Outlaw Oasis, as long as it’s a named POI.

However, this isn’t always the case, especially if the task asks you to visit a particular spot. Previous weekly quests have asked you to visit specific locations, as we saw during Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2’s weekly missions. During this, you had to jam out at Restored Reels and Slumberyard’s dance floor, two locations that are no longer available. Even though these spots aren’t in the game anymore, the ones that do currently exist may appear as a jam task in the future.

How to emote in Fortnite

You can open your emote menu and play jam tracks by pressing B on the keyboard, Down Arrow on consoles, or the Emote button on mobile. From here, you can cycle through the menus until you reach Jam Tracks, giving you a list of every track you’ve unlocked so far. The songs you use are entirely up to you unless your current quest asks for a specific one.

How to unlock more Jam Tracks in Fortnite

The easiest way to unlock more jam tracks in Fortnite is to purchase the game’s Music Pass, Battle Pass, or the Item Shop’s Music Moments options. These all require V-Bucks or real money to obtain, but at least you’ll have a bunch to use during your matches.

Alternatively, you can get free jam tracks by progressing in limited-time events and collecting their rewards. Although not every event has jam tracks as rewards, you’ll occasionally spot them as options alongside loading screen images, pickaxes, gliders, and other items.
