Fortnite Chapter 7 keeps piling on the scavenger hunt quests, and the latest batch is sending players scrambling across New Sanctuary with almost no guidance. The objective sounds simple enough: find five Chaos Cubes in or around this POI. The reality is a lot more spread out than most players expect.
Why these cubes are so easy to miss
The game does throw you one small lifeline. Once you're physically close to a Chaos Cube, a white diamond exclamation point icon appears on screen to point you toward the exact spot. The problem is that "close enough" still requires you to be in the right general area first, and New Sanctuary is a large POI that sprawls across the bottom right corner of the Chapter 7 map. Without knowing where to start, you can burn through an entire match wandering the wrong end of the location.
This quest is part of the broader Dark Voyager storyline running through the season. New cubes are unlocking on a rolling basis as the season progresses, which explains why some players have hit a wall trying to complete this particular set.
All five cube locations broken down
Here's where each of the five Chaos Cubes sits around New Sanctuary:
- Perfect Plunge Landmark: Bottom left corner of the New Sanctuary POI, right at the edge of the location. It's further from the central buildings than you'd think.
- Southernmost point of New Sanctuary: Also near the island's edge, south of the main structures.
- The New Sanctuary Vault: Buried underneath the triangular building at the center of the POI. Worth noting that this cube is currently inaccessible. The Vault only opens once Team Foundation hits its goal, so this one requires patience rather than navigation skills.
- Small building near Looper's Leap: Take the zipline down and break through the tarp wall. The cube is sitting in the hidden room behind it. This is probably the trickiest one to find without a tip.
- Forest area between Swift Shard and Slice O' Shore: Head to the northern end of New Sanctuary, in the wooded stretch between these two Landmarks.

The Vault cube cannot be collected until Team Foundation reaches its seasonal goal. If you're trying to complete all five in one session, you may need to return for that one later.
The bigger picture behind the cube hunt
These aren't just collectibles for the sake of it. The Chaos Cube hunts tie directly into Fortnite's ongoing Chapter 7 narrative, with Epic Games using them to drip-feed lore and unlock new content across the season. The New Sanctuary Vault cube is a good example of that design philosophy in action: the cube is physically there, but gated behind a community-driven progress meter rather than individual skill.
For players who want to stay on top of every quest as new cubes unlock, the Epic Games newsroom is worth bookmarking for official updates on seasonal progress and unlocks.
With New Sanctuary checked off, the quest list for Chapter 7 still runs deep. Riding on a player's shoulders to gather intel, tracking down The Foundation's lost helmet and cape, and decrypting recordings from The Imagined at holotables are all waiting.
