Fortnite adds Dill Bits mining location as memecoin spikes 200%

Fortnite has introduced a new secret “Dill Bits” server mine location in its latest map update, sparking interest among players and causing a 200% price spike in the Solana-based (CRYPTO:SOL) Dill Bits memecoin.

While the in-game Dill Bits currency is fictional, the memecoin inspired by it continues to attract attention in the crypto community.

Videos shared online show Dill Bits mining rigs resembling cryptocurrency operations scattered across the map.

Players can collect Dill Bits by destroying these rigs, which serve as a rare resource for purchasing premium items in Fortnite’s black markets.

The new mining location adds to several hidden vaults already present in the game.

The Dill Bits memecoin, created independently by an anonymous developer following Fortnite’s introduction of the currency in February, surged to $0.0005 on April 4.

This rise follows previous spikes, including a 4,500% surge upon launch and another 4,000% increase in March after Fortnite released a video promoting its “Rugpull” storyline.

The latest map update, released on April 1, continues Fortnite’s crypto-themed narrative with new quests and locations.

The Dill Bits Mining Server is described as a “small cave containing servers mining the cryptocurrency called Dill Bits,” according to Fortnite’s official wiki.

Players can exchange collected Dill Bits for Mythic and Legendary items or abilities at black market locations.

The memecoin’s recent spike highlights the influence of Fortnite’s crypto-themed content on blockchain-based assets.

However, its price remains volatile, with previous surges quickly followed by sharp declines as traders cash out profits.

Fortnite’s playful approach to crypto culture has gained attention from both gamers and crypto enthusiasts.

The game’s narrative pokes fun at industry issues like rug pulls while integrating elements of blockchain-inspired gameplay.

As Fortnite continues to expand its crypto-themed content, its impact on related assets and community engagement remains noteworthy.
