You can find Stark Mobile Armories in Fortnite by visiting landing pads around the map and waiting for one to appear. Although the landing pads are always present, the Stark Mobile Armories don’t land until a decent way into the match, which means you have to wait for one to appear.

If you’re hoping to claim loot from one, it’s best to hang around one of the landing pads and watch for the flashing falling pod icon that appears to let you know a Stark Mobile Armory is landing. You can also look for the Iron Man icon on the map that appears as one is flying in.

In the matches I played, I saw Stark Mobile Armories land when there were about 50 players left, but I also saw another one with around 70 players remaining. Based on my experience with them, there doesn’t seem to be a precise timeframe when they appear, so your best bet is to hang around one and wait for it to land or visit a few different pads to see if one has appeared.
