Fortnite: What Are Combat Caches and How to Find them

 Chapter 4 Season 2 began with a number of changes to Fortnite including locations and map elements. It's not uncommon for this to happen when the seasons change, but this time around there have been a number of additions, deletions and changes.

In the first game of the season, players will notice a battle cache marker appearing on their map. It seems like it's hundreds of feet away, or it's close enough that you want to avoid it and pick it up. In this guide, you'll learn all about this new Fortnite feature and players can find out if these caches are worth looking for.

After so many seasons, Supply Drops are no longer available in Fortnite and have been replaced by Battle Depots. While similar, they have a few differences that set them apart, and some fans may even prefer this new drop over OG's Supply Drops. About halfway through a Fortnite game, , Battle Caches appear on the map. They drop one at a time and more may appear as the game progresses. As soon as a reserve appears on the map, a marker will appear and any player can find it, but searching for the caches is not always worthwhile.

How To Retrieve A Combat Cache?

This Loot Crate can contain powerful and game-changing loot that can only be obtained in certain ways, such as Slurp Juice. Once a Battle Cache is placed on the map, it contains loot of Legendary rarity and glows yellow. However, if no one collects its contents within a short period of time, its value will drop: the loot inside will drop to epic rarity and the light will turn purple. It will gradually decrease, so it is important to collect it as soon as possible . Of course, the player's effort in collecting the cache must match its value once it is reached.If the player thinks the hideout is nearby, they should follow the marker until they reach a battle hideout to compensate for the effort they put into the pursuit. Once the player reaches the Battle Cache, he must press and hold the "Retrieve Data" button. The timer starts counting down next to the hideout. Players must secure the location and about a minute later the content will be scattered.
