However, most are probably wondering what the heck are Timber Pines in Fortnite, where to find them, and how to knock them down. Well, that's what we're here for. We answer all your questions!


Fortnite Timber Pines Explained

Now that might be a weird name, but the timber pines in Fortnite are a type of coniferous tree in Fortnite. You can recognize these large trees by their thick, light-colored trunk. Unlike other trees, they don't just disappear after you cut them down, but rather they fall over and roll around when you hit them. They also drop a tree stump, which also provides you with wood. The somersaults are also great as a kind of raft to swim across the water.

Where To Find Timber Pines In Fortnite

While these trees can be found all over the island, most of them are in the southeast and northwest of the map. Below on the picture you can see all their locations:

How To Knock Down A Timber Pine With a Force Ability or Lightsaber

Before attempting to knock down a timber pine, you'll first need a lightsaber or Force ability. During the Find the Force event, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Maul will be waiting for you as holograms on the island. Interact with them, then head into the rift that appears to return with a lightsaber and a Force ability.

Now all you have to do is find a timber pine and knock it over with your lightsaber or force ability and the challenge is complete. We wish you good luck!
