Every new season of Fortnite unveils an exciting array of loot, with Chapter 6 Season 3 taking it up a notch. This season introduces powerful superhero loot hidden inside Hero Caches scattered throughout the map. To equip yourself with the best gear, you’ll need to hunt these caches down. In this guide, we’ll explore all the known Hero Cache locations and provide you with tips on how to unlock them for maximum rewards.
All Fortnite Hero Cache Locations
Hero Caches can be found at almost every named Point of Interest (POI) on the Chapter 6 Season 3 map. However, specific areas offer better odds for finding these valuable caches. As of now, your best bet is the Tech Lab located within Supernova Academy. Inside, you’ll encounter hidden rooms requiring specific Hero Ranks to access. Increase your rank, interact with the doors, and collect your cache.
While many Hero Cache locations can be random, here are some reliable spots to check:
- Supernova Academy: The Eastern Tech Lab basement consistently spawns Hero Caches behind doors tied to Hero Ranks. Expect to encounter numerous players in this hotspot.
- Utopia City: A less defended area where Hero Caches often appear by high-traffic buildings.
- Other Named POIs: As your match unfolds, additional Hero Cache locations will become active. Keep an eye out for Hero Cache markers on your map.
How to Unlock Hero Caches in Fortnite
Hero Caches are unique chests introduced in Chapter 6 Season 3, offering high-tier loot such as Hero Items including the Bass Boost or Krypto Treat. However, you can’t simply walk up and unlock them. Each Hero Cache requires a specific Hero Rank to access, ranging from Rank C to Rank S.
Your current Hero Rank is displayed beneath the minimap during matches. The higher your rank, the better the loot you’ll find inside these caches. To open a Hero Cache, you must first elevate your Hero Rank within the match. If you fall short of the rank requirement, the cache will remain locked.
Once you reach the required Hero Rank, simply hold down the interact button to unlock the doors. After gaining access, walk up to the Hero Cache and press the F button (or its equivalent on console) to claim your loot.
