Storm Chests are a Side Objective in Fortnite: Save the World. They are introduced in the Air Quotes Quest in Plankerton.
Overview[]
Storm Chests only spawn in Missions of Power Level 28 or above.
Storm Chests can appear in all normal missions except for Resupply and Eliminate and Collect. Destroy the Encampments and Build The Radar Grid missions can have up to 5 Storm Chests spawns. 4x missions except for Evacuate the Shelter do not contain Storm Chests.
Storm Chests' appearance is that of a purple-tinted Level 6 Chest 
surrounded by a purple smoke.
Functionality[]
Storm Chests are most commonly found along the edges or outskirts of the maps, similar to Anomalies, but can sometimes appear in the central area of a map, even near or inside of buildings. Once near them, they will be marked on the Map and Minimap with a blue 
icon.
Objectives[]
Upon activating a Storm Chest, an atonal sound effect can be heard, and Husks will begin to spawn in the vicinity of the chest. The amount of rewards granted by the Storm Chest depend on the completion of the waves.
If at any point during the Waves that the number of targets were not eliminated, the Storm Chest will close and disappear for the entirety of the mission.
Eliminate enemies (0/25) (60s)- Optional: Eliminate enemies (0/50) (30s)
- Eliminate Mist Monsters (0/2)
Eliminate enemies (0/25) Rewards[]
Rewards are granted only to players within a specific tile range at the end of the objective. This means that players outside this range may miss out on them if the Storm Chest is completed without their participation. Storm Chests grant valuable rewards due to the amount of effort required to complete them. Rewards generally include a good quantity of crafting Materials and Ammunition, and one to two Weapons. The Tier of the crafting material and weapon rewards scales with the Power Level of the mission— 
Silver Ore and 
Malachite Ore-tier weapons are likely in mid-Plankerton, for example.
