South Park has invaded Fortnite with pure chaos, bringing Cartman, Kenny, and the legendary Stick of Truth to Chapter 7 Season 1.

Here’s your complete guide to claiming this limited-time item before the collaboration ends February 5, 2026.

What Is the Stick of Truth?
The Stick of Truth appears as a Rift Anomaly event during Battle Royale matches. When it spawns, players receive an on-screen notification and can see its exact location marked on the map with a small stick icon. Only one spawns per match, creating intense competition among squads racing to claim it first.
This single-use Mythic allows you to dictate where the final storm circle closes. Activate it at your chosen location, and the final safe zone moves directly to you—forcing every remaining player to rotate into your position. It’s essentially storm manipulation that turns endgame fights into battles on your terms.
Fortnite Stick of Truth Spawn Location & Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Cartmanland POI (northwest corner of map) |
| Exact Spot | Red cushion pedestal behind Cartman statue near castle stage |
| Spawn Timing | After third storm circle closes |
| Availability | Random – not guaranteed every match |
| Notification | “Grab the Stick of Truth to control the storm!” |
Cartmanland replaced Wonkeeland near Tiptop Terrace and Clawsy Lodge. According to Epic Games’ official announcement, the South Park collaboration introduced three special items, with the Stick of Truth being the rarest and most powerful.
The Mythic sits on a pedestal with a large Cartman mural as the backdrop—you can’t miss it once you arrive. However, since it’s a Rift Anomaly rather than standard loot, it won’t appear at match start and isn’t guaranteed to spawn every game.

How to Successfully Claim the Stick of Truth
Step 1: Stay alert after the third storm circle. Watch for the notification and immediately open your map to locate the marked position.
Step 2: Land at Cartmanland or rotate there quickly with your squad. The location becomes extremely contested, so prepare for fights.
Step 3: Head to the eastern edge where the castle stage sits. The Stick of Truth rests on the red cushion behind the massive Cartman statue.
Step 4: Grab it fast—everyone on the map sees the same notification, and once claimed, another alert confirms it’s no longer available.
Pro Tip: Playing in Quints mode (5-person squads) increases your chances. More teammates mean better protection while securing and holding the Mythic.
Strategic Uses for Maximum Impact
The Stick of Truth’s single-use nature demands tactical timing. Consider these strategies:
- High Ground Advantage: Activate it from elevated positions or buildings with strong defensive angles
- Water Zones: Place the final circle in water areas where mobility and verticality become critical
- Late Activation: Wait until later circles when fewer teams remain and positioning matters most
- Squad Coordination: Have teammates build fortifications before using it to maximize your positional advantage
Remember, you cannot use the Stick of Truth while inside the storm—plan your positioning accordingly before activation.

FAQs
Q: Can I find the Stick of Truth in Team Rumble or Zero Build modes?
No, the Stick of Truth exclusively spawns in Unranked Battle Royale mode—it won’t appear in Team Rumble, Zero Build, or Ranked playlists during the South Park collaboration.
Q: What happens if multiple players reach the pedestal simultaneously?
The first player to interact with the pedestal claims it—there’s no sharing mechanic, so whoever clicks fastest wins while others must eliminate the holder to take it.
