The wind rips through the pines and a faint orange glow catches your eye. You freeze, because those cubes move matches and momentum in this patch. I had two opponents rush past while I marked every spawn—this is where attention wins games.
I play the map enough to recognize patterns, and I mapped these five spots so you don’t waste match time. You’ll move faster and take fewer risks if you follow the route I use.
The northwest air smells of wet wood and engine grease. Find Chaos Cubes in or around Elites Outpost or Treechopped Timbermill in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2
That quest asks you to gather five Chaos Cubes around the Elites Outpost and Treechopped Timbermill area. Because both are Landmarks, they don’t show named pins on the map—so Epic Games left the searching to you and your intuition. The cluster sits in the far northwest corner of the Chapter Seven, season two map: north of Squibbly Shores and southwest of Wonkeeland.
How many Chaos Cubes do I need to collect?
You need to gather five Chaos Cubes from around the Elites Outpost/Treechopped Timbermill cluster. That completes this specific quest node and hands you a tidy XP bump—useful if you bought the Battle Pass for $9.99 (€9).

I’ll save you the guesswork: here are the exact spawn points I found while testing multiple matches. Move quietly, because other players and NPCs can mess up the spawns.
- Cube 1 — On a red couch inside a small wooden cabin near the southeast edge of the area, close to the water. The Visitor NPC sometimes wanders this cabin.
- Cube 2 — On a fallen tree bridge by a small shed beside the river just under Wonkeeland.
- Cube 3 — Inside a tent you must break with your pickaxe directly south of the Elites Outpost building; it’s next to the river and some fishing gear.
- Cube 4 — Near the north end of the large Elites Outpost building, toward the west side of the cluster.
- Cube 5 — At the top of the metal ramp at Treechopped Timbermill, which sits just north of Elites Outpost.
Follow these markers like following a breadcrumb trail and you’ll shave minutes off each run.
Where exactly are the Chaos Cubes in Elites Outpost and Treechopped Timbermill?
Use the river and the fallen tree bridge as your landmarks. If you drop in north of Squibbly Shores, head west toward the cluster, hug the waterline, and check the cabin, bridge, tent, north side of the outpost, and the ramp at the sawmill. If you stream or follow creators like SypherPK or Hypex on X, you’ll spot the same routes repeated because they’re efficient.
The crunch of footsteps on leaves makes you look twice. How to collect faster, survive the grab, and move on
Move with purpose: hit the tent with your pickaxe to force the cube spawn, check high ground on the ramp, and scan windows before you enter cabins. If NPCs are roaming, pull them away or eliminate the threat; The Visitor can block the couch spawn if he’s inside.
Use low-profile approaches—shadowed entries and crouch peeks—because other players can sweep this cluster quickly. Recording clips or checking Reddit and YouTube guides helps too; creators and community trackers update spawn behavior after Epic Games patches. Think of the cluster as a small cash crop: efficient runs give steady XP returns that compound across matches.
After you’ve collected all five, move your route to Ripped Tides or New Sanctuary; those zones typically have similar landmark spawns and the same grab mechanics. Will you take the stealth route and steal the cubes quietly, or rush in and cause chaos to flush them out—what’s your play?
