02 / CHEST FARMING
Where to farm chests on Crossbones Isle
CROSSBONES ISLE / ROUTE MAP
- 01Lantern Landing → Giant’s Battlefield
Search Lantern’s buildings first. If the storm allows, head south to the frog statue puzzle.
- 02The Chest → mainland
Dig for buried loot around the giant chest, then rotate toward the safe zone.
- 03Northeast island → coastal camps
Search the buried-chest island, then rotate to nearby camps if the crossing is clear.
Split the search
Assign each squadmate a different cluster. Four players can search up to four times as many chests if each matches your solo pace. The rate per chest stays the same.
Use a Fortune Sprite
Fortune Sprites such as Fortune Plundarrgh reveal nearby chests. The drop-and-pickup scan reset is unverified. Season gameplay notes.
Use the Vault Key
Epic reinforced Vault floors and chests on Nov 6, closing the cannon shortcut. Read the Vault patch and keyed entry guide.
03 / REDEMPTION
Activation, expiration & exclusions
Two separate 14-day windows
Activate the 2026 token manually by December 15, 2026. The second activation is available during 2027. Each window starts when you activate it in Fortnite. Check the cutoff displayed on your own token. Open the activation planner.
What the pass covers
Claim eligible offers priced in V-Bucks while they are in the Item Shop. Cash packs, gifting and passes are excluded. You can claim one new Sidekick, and the token stays with the account that earned it. In-game terms as reported.
