- — In-Game Description
Buried Treasure is a Consumable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Season 8.
Buried Treasure has a Mythic version called Avengers Buried Treasure.
Functionality[]
Buried Treasure is used to uncover a Treasure Chest, which provides the player with high tier loot. Collecting a Buried Treasure map highlights an area on the island with a golden colored beam, similar to a map marker made by a squad member. It also shows a dotted line in the direction of the treasure when held and the attack button is pressed, similar to a Keycard. When the area is approached, there will be a large black painted cross on the floor, and the player must dig out the treasure with their Harvesting Tool.
Buried Treasure could give up to four Epic or Legendary weapons.

Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Buried Treasure is ideally found in the early or mid-game when your weapon rarity is only Rare or lower.
- If you obtain the Buried Treasure and you already have high-tier weaponry, it's usually not worth going out of your way to uncover the treasure.
- While playing building playlists, make sure to build a box around yourself before digging up the Buried Treasure to prevent you from being shot while out in the open.
- While carrying the Buried Treasure, you don't need to worry about opponents stealing your treasure before you dig it up; the Buried Treasure's "X" on the ground is only visible to you until you begin digging.
Item ID[]
The Buried Treasure is referred to as Booty/Map in the files.
