How and where to find a Weapon Case in Fortnite Chapter 5

An easy way to get great weapons fast.

In Fortnite Chapter Five, you can obtain unique guns by finding Weapon Cases scattered around the map. These guns come with attachments pre-equipped, so all you need to do is visit a location with a Weapon Case.

I’ve enjoyed all the new mechanics added to the game, but weapon modifications take it to a whole other level. Effectively, you can build proper loadouts for the best guns and equip custom attachments according to your preference. So far, I have found several weapon cases, and the loot at this location is ample for squads.

Here’s how and where to find a Weapon Case in Fortnite.

A Weapon Case can only be found at certain locations around the map in Fortnite Chapter Five. The weapons found at these locations have various attachments equipped, which you can later modify at a Mod Bench by spending gold bars.

There are several Weapon Case locations scattered around the map, which is good because some challenges (like one of the TMNT challenges from season one) require you to search weapon cases. I’ve visited most of them, and often, you’ll find Rare and Epic weapons in these boxes. Check the yellow circles in the image above to see the precise location of Weapon Cases in Fortnite‘s Chapter Five.

  • Ritzy Riviera
  • Rebel’s Roost
  • Reckless Railway
  • Ruined Reels
  • Hazy Hillside
  • West of Pleasant Piazza
  • West of Fencing Fields
  • East of Classy Courts

How to get guns from a Weapon Case in Fortnite

To get any of the guns from a Weapon Case, stand in front of the box and press the interact button on the respective input. If your inventory is full, the weapon will be dropped on the ground. Most of the guns I found from Weapon Cases were above Rare rarity. Rare guns have a couple of attachments, making them brilliant for the start of the game. Later on, you can get better loot by defeating the bosses and claiming Capture Points at different POIs.

Remember, other Fortnite players will visit these locations to get good loot, so you can camp out of the spot after landing first. The trick is to get shields first, along with a gun, and hide near the Weapon Case to lure enemies. Once they start interacting with the boxes, start shooting from the vantage point to get a few easy eliminations.
