Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 introduced Combat Caches to the Battle Royale as a way for players to collect quality loot as the storm closes in.
After a minor delay, the Fortnite Week 3 Quests are now available. The five tasks are a quick way to gain XP and level up the Battle Pass before the release of the Eren Yeager "secret" skin.
One of the quests requires players to "Recover a Combat Cache." The reward for completing the task is 12,000 XP. Players will also receive weapons, heals, and ammunition from the cache.
Here's a breakdown on Fortnite's Combat Caches.
What is a Combat Cache in Fortnite?
Combat Caches are loot caches that spawn randomly throughout a game of Fortnite. An icon will appear on the map, alerting players where they can find the cache. The exact location is also highlighted by a bright beam shining in the sky.
A Combat Cache contains a plethora of loot for players to obtain once they have captured the area. The rarity of the items depends on the color of the beam, ranging from gold to purple to blue. The quicker a player finds and claims the cache, the better the loot will be.
Perhaps the best perks of the Combat Caches are the Legendary Slurp Juices. No matter what color the beam is, the cache will drop two, rewarding players with the most broken heal in the game.
