In Fortnite's Chapter 5 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover, Krang's plan to convert island fighters into loyal followers relied on an absurd combination of pizza and music. The Evil Brainwashing Pizza Turntables were scattered across the map, and players were asked to track them down and smash them before the mind-control scheme could spread. As of 2026, the original Chapter 5 TMNT quest is no longer a live seasonal objective, but it remains a notable example of Fortnite's crossover mission design. This retrospective guide preserves the original locations, search advice, and destruction methods for readers examining the event or revisiting Fortnite history.
🍕 Where the Evil Brainwashing Pizza Turntables Were Located
According to the original quest structure, selecting the mission from the pause menu or lobby displayed nine markers showing where the Evil Brainwashing Pizza Turntables could be found. Every point of interest that hosted the devices contained two of them, so players did not have to travel far once they reached a marked area. The quest could be tracked, and objective markers appeared in-game after pressing the associated button.
Because the Turntables were placed both indoors and outdoors, the most reliable approach was to place a marker on the objective and then search the immediate area. The table below reflects the original Chapter 5 locations.
| Location | Turntable One | Turntable Two |
|---|---|---|
| Rebel Roost | First-floor interior corner on the west side. | One in the basement, with stairs located behind a bookcase. |
| Ritzy Riviera | Under the cloth tent in the northwest plaza. | Middle of the eastern plaza, next to a clock. |
| Pleasant Piazza | Along the east wall on the lowest part of the plaza. | At the end of the narrow path in the north. |
| Ruined Reels | Along the wall in front of the stage under the screen. | On a wall next to some ivy and two red flowers east of the theater. |
| Slumberyard | In front of the DJ stand on the east side of the building. | Next to the door into the weapon case area on the east side. |
Since the majority of these Turntables were located on the west side of the map, that area was the best general landing spot for players hoping to complete the quest in a single match. The distribution encouraged a compact route rather than a full-map tour, which made the mission accessible to players who preferred a focused drop and a quick objective sweep.
🔨 How Players Destroyed the Turntables
Destroying the Evil Brainwashing Pizza Turntables was straightforward. They did not have much health, and there was no requirement as to how players removed them. A player could shoot them, use a pickaxe, or even run them over with a car, as long as three of the devices were destroyed. The objective marker remained after a Turntable was smashed, but players received a notification confirming credit for the objective. Repeating the process until the quest was complete awarded the Ooze.

🎮 Why the Quest Still Stands Out in 2026
In 2026, Fortnite's live seasonal landscape has moved well beyond Chapter 5, and the TMNT crossover is best treated as historical content rather than a currently active quest board item. Even so, the Evil Brainwashing Pizza Turntables illustrate how Fortnite used crossover humor to turn a simple fetch-and-destroy task into a memorable island activity. The mission combined a comic-book villain scheme with clear map markers, low-friction destruction rules, and a reward tied to the TMNT theme.
For players researching older Fortnite events, the quest also shows how Epic Games structured limited-time objectives around map literacy. The nine markers gave players broad options, the paired placements reduced travel time, and the western concentration gave the mission a natural landing route. The result was a crossover task that felt playful rather than punishing, and it remains a useful reference point for how licensed events can blend into Fortnite's core loop without demanding excessive preparation.
As a retrospective guide, the key takeaway is simple: the Turntables were easy to destroy, but finding them required attention to indoor and outdoor spaces. Players who followed the markers, searched the immediate area, and focused on the western side of the map could complete the quest efficiently and collect the Ooze while Krang's pizza-powered brainwashing plan was still part of the Chapter 5 experience.
