Fortnite: The $.$. Rocky Fragment & Boss
The first Map Fragment is inside A$AP Rocky's battleship POI on the east side of Crossbones Isle. The same stop also contains the A$AP Rocky boss, whose confirmed possible drops include the Exotic Shock Rocket and Lil' Flacko Sprite.

Mark The $.$. RockyThe POI sits off the island's eastern side. Aim for the large gray ship rather than the nearby shore.
-
2
Land on the gray shipTouch down on the vessel itself. The fragment is inside the hull, so move indoors instead of searching the exposed deck.
-
3
Enter and start descendingUse the interior passages and stairs to work down through the ship's lower levels.
-
4
Follow the quest markerWatch for a small white diamond with an exclamation point. It becomes your best guide as you approach the correct level.
-
5
Move toward the southern endIf the stairs are hard to follow, break through the floor and continue downward. Search the lower rooms near the ship's south end.
-
6
Gather the fragmentFind the glowing paper on the floor beside the cargo crate, approach it and hold the button shown with the gather prompt.
If the pickup is not there
- Check the quest first. Confirm that the matching Treasure Hunt objective is visible in your in-game quest list.
- Check the playlist. If you are in a Creative experience or another unsupported mode, try a standard Battle Royale match.
- Compare the exact room. Being somewhere below deck is not enough; match the yellow skull crate, wooden cargo and riveted floor.
- Check your progress. The pickup may be absent because Fragment #1 was already collected on that account.
- Try a fresh match. Re-entering can help when the quest is active and the room is correct, but it is a troubleshooting step rather than a guaranteed fix.
Where to find A$AP Rocky
The $.$. Rocky sits east of Cursed Cavern and north of Busy Bay. Check the exposed ship deck first, then the dock and shoreline immediately north of the vessel if Rocky is not there. His patrol area is separate from the fragment room, so you can search below deck even when the boss is outside or above you.
How to fight him
- Bring a medium- or long-range weapon and keep your distance instead of trading close-range damage.
- Use the ship, dock and shoreline cover to break line of sight when rockets are incoming.
- In solo play, check the land beside the dock for Charlotte-Sensei. Hiring her can draw some attention while you shoot from range.
- Expect other squads. The boss loot and fragment bring multiple objectives to the same small POI.
A$AP Rocky drops and nearby value
Charlotte-Sensei can be found near the dock and may be useful as hired support. Regular ship and shoreline loot can help you prepare, but chest spawns and loose loot can vary between matches, so use what you find rather than relying on a fixed loot route.
FAQ
Where exactly is Map Fragment #1 at The $.$. Rocky?+
Map Fragment #1 is inside the large gray ship at The $.$. Rocky, in a room on the lower levels near the vessel's southern end. It is not sitting on the exposed main deck. Enter the hull, keep descending and watch for the white diamond icon with an exclamation point. The correct room contains cargo crates, a gray riveted floor and the glowing paper fragment on the floor beside a crate.
What is the quickest route to Map Fragment #1?+
Land directly on the large gray ship and enter the interior as soon as possible. Follow the stairs and passages downward while moving toward the southern end. The white diamond exclamation marker becomes easier to follow as you get closer. If the stair layout sends you in circles, use your pickaxe to break through the floor and drop to the next level, then continue toward the marker until you reach the cargo room.
Which end of the ship should I search?+
Work toward the southern end of the large ship while descending through the lower interior. Do not search only the outdoor deck or the shoreline around the POI. Once you are below deck, let the white diamond exclamation marker guide the last part of the route. The final confirmation is the cargo room shown in the screenshot, where the fragment glows on the floor beside a crate.
Do I need to defeat A$AP Rocky before collecting the fragment?+
No. The fragment is a separate quest pickup inside a lower-level room; it is not awarded as boss loot. You can enter the ship, follow the objective marker and gather the paper without making the boss fight your main goal. The POI can still be crowded, so pick up a weapon and shields if they are nearby, then focus on getting below deck before other players block the route.
How do I recognize the correct cargo room?+
The ship has several interior rooms, so being below deck is only the first checkpoint. Look for the small white diamond icon with an exclamation point and keep closing the distance to it. The target room is on a lower level near the southern end and contains cargo crates on a gray riveted metal floor. The paper fragment glows beside a crate; if you see no marker, no cargo and no glowing item, keep moving through the lower rooms.
Why is Map Fragment #1 not showing?+
First confirm that the matching Treasure Hunt objective is active in your quest list and that you are playing a supported Battle Royale playlist. Then check that you are inside the gray ship, on its lower levels near the southern end, rather than on the main deck or nearby shore. Compare the room with the screenshot and look for the white diamond exclamation marker. Also check whether the fragment is already recorded as collected. If every condition is correct but the item is missing, leave and start a fresh match; this can refresh the pickup, although it is not guaranteed.
Where does A$AP Rocky spawn?+
A$AP Rocky is associated with The $.$. Rocky POI east of Cursed Cavern and north of Busy Bay. Check the exposed ship deck first, then the dock and nearby land immediately north of the vessel if he is not there. His patrol area is separate from the fragment room: the boss may be outside or above while the quest pickup remains inside the lower southern section of the ship.
What can A$AP Rocky drop?+
A$AP Rocky can drop the Exotic Shock Rocket, and the Lil' Flacko Sprite may also be available from the encounter. Treat the Sprite as a possible drop rather than a guaranteed one. Map Fragment #1 is not part of the boss loot: it is the separate glowing paper pickup inside the lower cargo room, so collecting the fragment and defeating the boss are two different objectives.
