The DC Hot Bat Summer event in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is stacked with quests that hand out free XP and cosmetics, and one of the quickest to knock out tasks you with looting Safes or Cash Registers. You only need 3, you can do it in a single match, and there are 64 Cash Registers scattered across the map with a 100% spawn rate. Here's exactly where to go and what to expect.
What are Safes in Fortnite?
Safes are special containers found around the Chapter 7 Season 3 map that drop Gold Bars exclusively when opened. They also reward XP for cracking them open rather than destroying them. The catch: Safes take time to open, leaving you exposed to nearby players while the animation plays out. With only 15 total Safes across the entire map and low individual spawn rates, they're worth grabbing when you stumble on one, but they shouldn't be your primary target for this quest.

Where are all Safe locations in Chapter 7 Season 3?
There are 15 Safe spawn points spread across the map. Low spawn rates mean not every marker will have a Safe waiting for you on a given match, so treat these as bonus finds rather than guaranteed stops.
What are Cash Registers in Fortnite?
Cash Registers work similarly to Safes in that they drop Gold Bars when looted, but the payout per register is smaller. What makes them far more practical for quest completion is their 100% spawn rate. Every Cash Register location on the map will have one waiting for you, no RNG involved. Each one also grants 100 XP on interaction. For a quest that only asks for 3 total loots, Cash Registers are the obvious path.

Where are all Cash Register locations in Chapter 7 Season 3?
With 64 Cash Registers across the map, you're never far from one. They're found inside stores and commercial buildings within POIs.
How to complete the DC Hot Bat Summer quest fast
The quest asks you to search 3 Safes or Cash Registers. Given the spawn rate difference, stick entirely to Cash Registers. Here's the fastest route:
- Drop at Cluster Coast or Latte Landing, both sitting toward the map edges with solid Cash Register density and typically lighter player traffic than central POIs.
- Clear the immediate area before entering any buildings.
- Walk into stores and interact with Cash Registers until you hit 3.
- Collect your 10,000 XP reward and keep playing toward the DC Hot Bat Summer free cosmetics.
The whole process takes under two minutes once you land. If you want to farm Gold Bars at the same time, Lifty Lodge and The Battlewoods each have 10 Cash Registers, making them efficient multi-purpose stops.
What rewards do Safes and Cash Registers give?
Beyond quest completion, both container types feed directly into your Gold Bar economy. Gold Bars let you buy services from NPCs, upgrade weapons, and access some of the season's hidden loot spots. If you're working through the vault system this season, building up Gold early pays off. Check out the full vault locations guide for Chapter 7 Season 3 to see exactly how Gold fits into the bigger loot picture.
For players who want to squeeze every secret out of the map, the Sinister Strip prison cell guide is worth a look since that POI also has Cash Registers nearby, letting you combine objectives in one drop.
Where is the best place to find Cash Registers quickly?
Latte Landing (8 registers), The Battlewoods (10 registers), and Lifty Lodge (10 registers) have the highest concentrations. For lower player traffic, Cluster Coast with 5 registers near the map edge is a reliable choice.
