Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, dubbed Fortnite Runners, has packed the map with hidden collectibles, and the Stealth Guardian Missing Cases are among the most sought-after. These cases, split across three types, Arms, Torso, and Helmet, are scattered around the Golden Coast map and tied directly to unlocking the full Stealth Guardian style.
Here's the lowdown on every case location and what you need to know before heading out to grab them.
What the Stealth Guardian cases actually are
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 leans heavily into extraction shooter mechanics, where collecting rare items and getting out alive is the whole game. The Stealth Guardian Missing Cases fit right into that philosophy. Each case is a physical pickup found at a fixed location on the map, and collecting all three case types completes the Stealth Guardian set. Miss one and the style stays locked, so tracking all of them down is worth the effort.
The cases don't respawn mid-match, so you'll need to land, locate, and extract successfully to lock in your progress. Losing a case to another player before extraction means trying again next match.
Equip a fast-moving loadout before hunting these cases. Other players know these locations too, so speed matters more than firepower when you're racing to a case spawn.
Arms case location
The Arms Case sits in the northern section of the map, near the industrial structures around Brutal Boxcars. Look for the container cluster on the eastern side of the POI. The case spawns inside one of the larger shipping containers, usually on the ground floor rather than elevated platforms. It's exposed enough that other players can see you picking it up, so check your surroundings before committing to the grab.

Torso case location
The Torso Case appears near Seaport City, the coastal POI on the western edge of the map. Head toward the dockside warehouses and check the ground-level storage areas closest to the water. The case tends to spawn in a semi-open area, which makes it a high-traffic spot. Players running Sprite farming routes frequently pass through here, so expect competition.

Helmet case location
The Helmet Case is the trickiest of the three. It spawns in the central-southern region of the map, near the Hollow Hive area. The location puts you in the middle of high-activity zones where both PvE threats and other players converge. The case itself is inside a building with multiple entry points, so there's rarely a clean window to grab it uncontested.
Planning your drop route to hit this one early in the match, before the zone starts pulling players inward, gives you the best shot at a clean pickup.
How case collection connects to the bigger Runners season
The Stealth Guardian cases are one piece of a much larger collectible system in Chapter 7 Season 3. The season's Sprite mechanics, extraction loops, and hidden quest chains all feed into each other. Players who've already been working through the Sprite system will find the case hunt feels like a natural extension of what they're already doing.
If you're still mapping out the broader secrets and hidden locations across the Golden Coast, the Fortnite Chapter 7 hidden secrets and easter egg guide is worth bookmarking alongside your case hunt progress.
All three cases, Arms, Torso, and Helmet, need to be collected and successfully extracted to complete the Stealth Guardian set. Given the extraction-focused design of Runners, that's the real challenge here. Finding the cases is half the work. Getting out with them is the other half.
