As a battle-tested guide across countless Fortnite seasons, few secrets evade my exploration for long. So when whispers surfaced of a hidden basement command center beneath Anvil Square, I made unmasking its location my mission.
This furtive underground lair filled with rare loot belongs none other than Jaeger, the scarred scavenger who watches Condo Canyon from the shadows. Year after year, many seek out his hideaway to no avail, struggling to clear key quest steps granting basement access.
Well friends, let me save you the frustration and lead you directly to Jaeger‘s treasure trove locked away in Anvil! I’ll illuminate everything from area layout, to pinpoint navigation tactics, to sweet basement rewards.
Just be ready for close encounters with Jaeger‘s watchmen posted around the seemingly sleepy Square as protection. This guide may light the path, but stealth and speed still serve explorers well!
Orienting Yourself Among Anvil Square History & Structures
Before storming Anvil Square in search of Jaeger‘s stash, understanding the area’s fiery history explains its modern opportunity and oddities. This named point-of-interest (POI) sits on Condo Canyon’s west border, with sprawling desert and mineral mines at its back.
Anvil Square‘s remote but strategic position overlooking Condo Canyon
In the ore mining boom years, Anvil Square housed processing plants and blue-collar worker cabins critical to the operation. But industrial accidents darkened its days, like the runaway truck now eternally overturned beside main buildings. As local mines dried up, large machinery tire mounds stuck around longer than the miners themselves.
Now Anvil Square serves as the seven reclusive Jaeger‘s makeshift domain, an outpost between civilization and untamed wilderness. Here Jaeger tinkers on complex mechanical wonders and studies enemies in the Canyon through surveillance tech and assembled intel.
But even fellow rogue scientists need comforts of home secured against the island’s relentless conflict. Thus the concealed basement sanctuary underneath Anvil Square with all amenities to sustain his solitary mission. It also contains equipment and classified schematics too sensitive to risk exposure topside.
Multiple Navigation Paths Leading to Jaeger‘s Secret Basement
Before setting out from the Battle Bus, I recommend immediately gliding towards Anvil Square to adequately scout the area and patrol routes before investigating the basement. Beware ambush from snipers or explosive traps if you delay!
Depending on your spawn point and Storm Circle location each match, several navigation angles work to safely access the hidden basement door. Study your options using this annotated map:
Carefully approaching Anvil Square from multiple viable directions
I prefer the Western Passage for cover but watch for campers on the ridge. Airstriking the Truck area to clear Jaeger guards helps too. Others may opt for the risky exposed Northern Road or Canyon Trail along the cliffs.
The core tactic remains using overturned truck and piles of tires as your anchor point, then circling southeast while defending against attacks. Avoid the busier interior square buildings during your search!
Pinpoint Basement Door Location & Breaching Steps
As an expert guide, I prioritize visual directions over vague hints. So once you reach Anvil Square‘s southeast rear structures near the rock walls, follow these instructions to uncover the hidden basement door‘s precise location:
Target small stairwell on rear side of the southeast building
- Approach the southeastern-most warehouses marked with air conditioning units.
- Scan the exterior walls for a recess with steps descending down into shadows.
- Head down the steps to a locked metal door guarded by a laser grid.
- Interact with the access panel to trigger security scans. Once complete, it opens!
I cannot stress enough the importance of caution while puzzling out the Sci-Fi lock system. Both timed explosives and patrolling henchmen await the careless to sabotage your efforts!
But for the well-prepared and observant, the door grants entry to Jaeger‘s amazing basement lounge!
Looting Jaeger‘s Decked Out Hideaway
Finally within the basement interior, you enter Jaeger‘s tricked out secret sanctum far from Anvil Square’s harsh conditions. Your quest is complete, but further spoils await!
As expected from such a heavily guarded site, the basement bursts with rare loot. Amass Jaeger‘s horde of attachments, consumables, ammunition, and unique weapon blueprints strewn around his workbenches.
A small taste of technology stashes hidden within Jaeger‘s basement
I even discovered his mythic Burst Quad Launcher prototype mounted menacingly in a repair bay! Beyond devastating enemy structures in seconds, this beast surely unlocks achievements to show off your feat.
But the pinnacle prize is Jaeger’s cyber dossier containing classified intel on canyon troop movements, infiltration routes, and security protocols forAmbush Major POIs. With this hot data in-hand, you dominate Condo Canyon through insider advantage! No foe stands a chance at victory.
For now, Jaeger’s basement remains relatively obscure on the island. But over time, I predict once-minimal quest completion rates for discovering his lair will continue rising as more loopers catch wind of magnificent rewards:
Jaeger‘s basement discovery rates trending upward in 2022
Hopefully this guide propels rates further by preparing explorers to breach Anvil Square and finish the job! Tread carefully and this awesome basement loot is as good as yours.
