I dropped onto Lantern Landing with nothing but a hangover of gunfire and a flashing mini-map. Two teammates were already fighting over a chest that blinked like a dare. I learned, fast, that these Treasure Hunt Chests change how you play every single drop.
I’ll walk you through where the chests hide, which spots repay patience, and the exact rewards you can stumble into. You’ll get numbers, map hotspots, and the tiny odds that make some prizes worth chasing. Read this as a short field guide from someone who’s spent more matches hunting chests than hiding from storms.
Lantern Landing still smells of salt and gunpowder — Where to Find a Treasure Hunt Chest in Fortnite (Map Locations)
Treasure Hunt Chests are scattered across the island in the Treasure Hunters mini-season. Crossbones Isle alone hosts roughly 360 of them, so if you want steady loot, certain POIs matter more than others.
- Rubber Resort: 47 chests
- Loot Lagoon: 26 chests
- Lil Uzi’s Stronghold: 33 chests
- Lantern Landing: 45 chests
- Arlong Park: 35 chests
- Cursed Cavern: 28 chests
- Loguetown: 41 chests
- Windmill Village: 29 chests
- Busy Bay: 29 chests
- Plunder Port: 34 chests
- The S.S. Rocky: 8 chests
- The Chest: 10 chests
These chests regenerate over time, so a hot drop can become a steady farm if you rotate smart. If you want reliable weapon spawns, prioritize Lantern Landing, Rubber Resort, or Loguetown.
I’ve watched games turn on whether a single player landed the right POI fast enough — it’s often the difference between a quick third-place finish and coming away with the rare cosmetic.
Where are Treasure Hunt Chests located in Fortnite?
They’re spread across named POIs with clusters in coastal and high-traffic areas. Crossbones Isle is dense with them, while The Chest POI and Rubber Resort are prime for both quantity and buried cache chances.
The Chest still smells of old wood and spilled rum — Fortnite Buried Treasure Hunt Chest and Rare Chest Locations
Buried chests and Rare Treasure Hunt Chests add a second layer to the mini-season: you can grab surface chests, then hunt below ground for better odds.
- Buried Treasure Hunt Chest counts:
- Rubber Resort: 2
- Loot Lagoon: 1
- Arlong Park: 2
- Cursed Cavern: 4
- Windmill Village: 1
- Busy Bay: 1
- Plunder Port: 2
- The S.S. Rocky: 2
- The Chest: 34
- Road between Loguetown and Windmill Village: 2
- Top Right island: 11
The Chest POI is the single best bet for finding buried caches — it’s now a legitimate farming spot if you don’t mind other players. I’ve cleared it twice in back-to-back matches and came away with long-range weapons both times.
How do buried chests respawn?
Surface Treasure Hunt Chests recharge over time after being opened; buried chests behave similarly, but their locations are limited. That means returning to a cleared POI after a short rotation can yield fresh loot.
Rare Treasure Hunt Chests are fewer and concentrated in spots like Rubber Resort, Fortune’s Fort, and the S.S. Rocky. Here’s the published rare-chest spread:
- Rubber Resort: 6 rare chests
- Fortune’s Fort: 5 rare chests
- Loot Lagoon: 4 rare chests
- Lantern Landing: 4 rare chests
- Loguetown: 4 rare chests
- Windmill Village: 1 rare chest
- Busy Bay: 4 rare chests
- The S.S. Rocky: 4 rare chests
- Purple area between Lantern Landing and Cursed Cavern: 4 rare chests

How rare is the Pirate Shop Access token?
Epic Games set the Pirate Shop Access token’s spawn rate extremely low: roughly 1 in 700,000. That makes it a unicorn-level drop compared with standard rarities tracked by community sites like Fortnite.GG and data shared on X (Twitter).
Week-to-week rotations mean chasing a specific cosmetic is a gamble; you can farm the same POI on repeat, but the chance for a token is vanishingly small. If you prize exclusives, your best move is to put in matches and treat the token as a pleasant, improbable accident — like finding a needle in a haystack.
Tools and resources I use: Fortnite.GG for spawn maps, the Epic Games patch notes for weekly pools, and community trackers on X for real-time reports. If you want to plan routes, mark Lantern Landing, Rubber Resort, The Chest, and the S.S. Rocky on your map and rotate between them to keep loot fresh as a treasure map stitched into the sand.
