For Pirate Treasure Chests in Fortnite, start with Rubber Resort, Lantern Landing, or Loguetown. These locations have 47, 45, and 41 regular chest spawn points, respectively. If you prefer a connected loot route, Lantern Landing also puts you near Arlong Park, where chests occupy a relatively compact area. Regular wooden chests, blue Rare Chests, and buried treasure give you plenty to search during Treasure Hunters. The trick is choosing a location for the chest type you want, then moving between nearby clusters rather than chasing isolated containers across Crossbones Isle.
Where can you find Pirate Treasure Chests?
Treasure Chests appear throughout Crossbones Isle during the Treasure Hunters mini-season. You can search for them in Battle Royale and Zero Build, and ordinary wooden chests can award special cosmetics alongside their usual loot.
Use the location counts below to choose your landing spot. Rubber Resort leads this regular-chest comparison with 47 spawn points, while Lantern Landing offers 45 and a nearby follow-up destination at Arlong Park.
Plan your Crossbones Isle route
Regular chest locations by area
| Location | Regular chest spawn points |
|---|---|
| Rubber Resort | 47 |
| Lantern Landing | 45 |
| Loguetown | 41 |
| Arlong Park | 35 |
| Plunder Port | 34 |
| Lil Uzi’s Stronghold | 33 |
| Windmill Village | 29 |
| Busy Bay | 29 |
| Cursed Cavern | 28 |
| Loot Lagoon | 26 |
| The Chest | 10 |
| The S.S. Rocky | 8 |
Arlong Park deserves attention even though its 35 regular spawn points put it below the top three. Its compact chest distribution means less travel between containers, which matters when your goal is opening several chests quickly.
Where are the buried and Rare chest locations?
Regular chest counts only tell part of the story. The Chest has 34 buried chest spawn points, while Rubber Resort has six Rare Chest spawn points. Those are very different reasons to choose a landing spot.
The table below separates buried treasure and Rare Chests so you can compare the same locations without mixing container types.
| Location | Buried chest spawn points | Rare Chest spawn points |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber Resort | 2 | 6 |
| Fortune’s Fort | 0 | 5 |
| Loot Lagoon | 1 | 4 |
| Lantern Landing | 0 | 4 |
| Arlong Park | 2 | 0 |
| Cursed Cavern | 4 | 0 |
| Loguetown | 0 | 4 |
| Windmill Village | 1 | 1 |
| Busy Bay | 1 | 4 |
| Plunder Port | 2 | 0 |
| The S.S. Rocky | 2 | 4 |
| The Chest | 34 | 0 |
Several smaller areas also have chest spawns:
- Road between Loguetown and Windmill Village: 2 buried chest spawn points.
- Northeastern island: 11 buried chest spawn points.
- Purple area between Lantern Landing and Cursed Cavern: 4 Rare Chest spawn points.
Where should you search for buried treasure?
The Chest is the strongest buried-treasure target in this comparison, with 34 buried spawn points. Cursed Cavern offers four, making it a useful buried-treasure stop on a route that already passes through Loguetown.
Buried treasure at The Chest
Use your Pickaxe to uncover treasure buried in the sand. At The Chest, search the surrounding area for smaller containers rather than trying to open the enormous landmark itself.
The giant One Piece Chest cannot be opened or interacted with during Treasure Hunters. Mark its location on your map before jumping if your squad wants to land together, and use the One Piece chest location guide to find the landmark.
Where should you search for Rare Chests?
Choose Rubber Resort for a mix of regular and Rare Chest locations: it has 47 regular spawn points and six Rare spawn points. Fortune’s Fort has five Rare Chest spawn points, while Lantern Landing, Loguetown, Loot Lagoon, Busy Bay, and The S.S. Rocky each have four.
Blue Rare Chests can produce special cosmetic rewards, but ordinary wooden chests can, too. A route built around regular chest density still gives you opportunities to find those rewards, so Arlong Park’s lack of Rare Chest spawns does not make its regular containers irrelevant.
What is the best chest-hunting route?
For a connected chest run, begin at Lantern Landing, move west to Arlong Park, then continue southeast toward Loguetown. Cursed Cavern provides a final stop with buried treasure if you can extend the run.
This route combines Lantern Landing’s high regular-chest count with Arlong Park’s compact layout. It is a better fit for repeated chest searching than choosing scattered destinations solely because their individual counts look good.
- Land at Lantern Landing. Search its regular chest clusters, with 45 regular spawn points and four Rare Chest spawn points across the area.
- Head west to Arlong Park. Work through its compact cluster of 35 regular chest spawn points. The area also has two buried chest spawn points.
- Continue southeast toward Loguetown. This adds another location with 41 regular chest spawn points and four Rare Chest spawn points.
- Finish at Cursed Cavern if you can continue. Search its regular containers and buried treasure, with 28 regular spawn points and four buried spawn points.
Rubber Resort is the alternative when you want a strong opening location rather than committing to that chain. Its 47 regular chest spawn points and six Rare Chest spawn points give you both container types in one destination.
How does Fortune Chester help you find chests?
The Fortune Chester Sprite reveals nearby chests and can cause Treasure Chests to produce extra loot. Its chest-revealing effect is particularly useful when you are searching a dense area such as Lantern Landing or Arlong Park.
Use Fortune Chester to locate nearby containers while following your route. Its extra-loot effect can add rewards to an opening, while the detection effect helps you find the next chest to search.
There are 80 players on the island, so reaching every container in Lantern Landing and Arlong Park is not a realistic promise. Treat the route as a sequence of useful stops, with more locations available if your match allows it.
What rewards can Pirate Treasure Chests drop?
Treasure Hunters adds special rewards to regular chest loot, including outfits, a pickaxe, vehicle cosmetics, Jam Tracks, and Gizmos. Some rewards rotate weekly, so the location you search can stay the same while the possible cosmetic reward changes.
The early weekly pools include Solid Gold A$AP Rocky and Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert, alongside other items. For the full item-by-item breakdown, check the Pirate Chest loot and rewards guide.
Examples of special chest rewards include:
- Solid Gold A$AP Rocky: An outfit in the first weekly reward pool.
- Solid Gold A$AP Rocky Gauntlets: A pickaxe in the first weekly reward pool.
- Mercedes-AMG G 63 G-Wagon: A vehicle reward.
- Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert: An outfit in the second weekly reward pool.
- Pirate Shop Access: A rare token that can grant free Item Shop access for 14 days.
Should you hunt chests with a squad?
Squads have a clear benefit for special reward hunting: when one player finds a special reward, everyone in that squad receives the same reward. Coordinate your landing location so the group begins its chest search in the same area.
Special rewards remain rare. Even more than 200 chest openings can leave you without a cosmetic reward, so a long run without one does not mean you chose the wrong location.
Weekly reward rotations can change which cosmetics you are chasing. Keep Lantern Landing and Arlong Park as a connected route, use Rubber Resort for a strong mix of regular and Rare Chests, and choose The Chest when buried treasure is your priority.
Start with the location that matches your goal, then follow nearby chest clusters rather than trying to visit every named area. To plan your next objective alongside chest hunting, check the Treasure Hunters quests and rewards guide.
