- — Urgent Quest Description
Cosmic Chests are a unique type of Container and mid-match objectives in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced in Chapter 2: Season 7.
Functionality[]
Cosmic Chests are unique in that they are not opened in the standard method of interacting or destroying the container, rather they have a unique quest associated with them, and can only be opened with the entirety of the player squad present.
Cosmic Chests contain two to three times the loot of a standard Chest, depending on the game mode. This means, 2 or 3 Weapons, Ammunition for said weapons, a small amount of all three types of material, and several Utility, Uncategorized or Ranged Consumables or Healing Items, and Bars.
Cosmic Chests will spawn at random intervals during a match, at less than 200 meters from one squad member. Only the player squad can see the chest. The chest is marked for all players in the squad and must be opened within 4 minutes or it will disappear.
Once the entire squad approaches the chest, they will have to take turns attacking the chest with their Harvesting Tool. Once completed, the Chest will repel players briefly, and open.
Cosmic Chests will also directly deposit Bars, XP or Ammo into the player's inventory. In previous seasons, they would provide players with Alien Artifacts, with 15 of them being provided per week. Later seasons provided Rainbow Ink.
