Where are the Locked Chests in Fortnite?

Much like the Shadow Safe Houses, Spy Bases have been in the game since the beginning of this season. However, unlike safe houses, these spy bases are named locations, which actually makes it easier for players to track down. You can find locked chests at the following Spy Bases scattered around the map in Fortnite:

• The Yacht
• The Agency
• The Rig
• The Grotto
• The Shark

While there are a total of five spy base locations, you simply need to unlock the faction locked chest at three of these Spy Bases. It means that you don’t need to travel to all five locations.

Faction Locked Chests - How to complete the challenge?

Every spy base contains a handful of faction locked chests. So, to complete the challenge, you can visit any of the three bases marked on the map above. However, you will need a Henchman disguise to be able to open these chests as they won't open normally. So, you need to enter a phone booth and disguise yourself. Once you've done that, you can easily unlock the chests. Luckily, all the spy bases are located close to the phone booths. So, it will be much easier to unlock the chests once you reach the location. Completing the challenge will also reward you with a special Steel Shadow pickaxe.

You only have a few days left to complete the ongoing challenges as we are soon approaching the end of this season. The upcoming season is set to kick off on June 11, 2020.
