Chests are a type of Container in Fortnite: Save the World. They were introduced in the Pre-Season.
Functionality[]
Chests contain Weapons, Crafting Materials, and Evolution Materials. Chests will often be guarded or in the vicinity of Monsters.
They can be interacted with by the player to open them. They take a standard amount of time to open. All Chests can be located by the distinctive ambient noise they make, with a Mimic making a different sound to the normal ones.
The 
Outlander Keen Eyes Class Perk highlights all types of Containers with a glow through structures.
Appearance[]
Chests are small and made of wood, with metal around the outer edges. On the other hand, Safes are much taller and look like a bank vault with a hand-crank door handle on the outside. Other safes may be darker in color and much smaller. Chests and safes will emit a faint beige glow. The valuable chests and safes are usually out of plain sight. Be sure to look high and low as you may encounter these in the most obscure strange places.

Chests[]
Chests are scattered around the zone in all missions. If a chest can be heard above the player, it is best to manually navigate up towards it rather than breaking the floor beneath it, because unlike Battle Royale, destroying the floor under a Container causes the loot to disappear.
Storm Chest[]
- Main Article: Storm Chest
Storm Chests are introduced in the Air Quotes Quest in Plankerton and only spawn in Missions of Power Level 28 or above. Upon opening a Storm Chest, a progressive elimination-based objective is triggered, and 3 waves of Monsters spawn procedurally, timed over a minute. If all 3 waves are completed, contributing players receive and additional reward.
- Wave 1 = Eliminate 25 enemies before the time runs out.
- Wave 2 = Eliminate 50 enemies before the time runs out.
- Wave 3 = Eliminate 2 Mist Monsters.
Safes[]
Safes are usually found in Strange Places or completely enclosed rooms. Golden Large Safes drop an Evolution Materials Cache or a Perk Cache.
Mimics[]
- Main Article: Mimic
Mimics are monsters disguised as Level 3 Chests. While opening, the chest will open faster, make noise, and stretch/squash. Opening the chest spawns a Mimic at that location. Mimics are Lobbers with a Level 3 Chest as their heads. Mimics have high health and can effectively damage or eliminate the player with wase. Successfully defeating a Mimic will reward everyone who is nearby.
Troll Stash Chest[]
Only found in Desert, Thunder Route 99, and Ghost Town. Located in the depth of caves or high up on a hill. Opening it grants loot to all players in the mission.
