Fortnite’s latest event is packed with quests to tackle. As we approach the final day of the event, the pressure is on to complete everything in order to unlock all the cosmetics available. One quest that may be confusing for new players is the task of pilfering weapons from weapon cases in Fortnite.
Weapon cases have been a recurring feature in the game throughout Chapter 5. While they were a significant mechanic in the first season, their prominence has decreased in the two seasons since. However, they still exist in the game, and if you want to complete the quest, here’s how you can do it.
How to Pilfer Weapons from Weapon Cases in Fortnite
If you’re looking to complete this quest, it’s actually simpler than it sounds. Despite the use of the term “pilfer”, you’re essentially just looting as you normally would. There’s no difference between pilfering and opening a chest when it comes to Fortnite’s quests. The terminology is simply themed for the Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration quests.

To pilfer weapons from weapon cases in Fortnite, you simply need to loot them. Weapon cases in the game look like purpose-built stands for weapons, resembling props on the map but are actually searchable.
This method allows you to obtain a weapon without relying on randomness. Weapon caches spawn in every game, and when they do, the weapon is already visible. To pilfer or search them, you just need to walk up and interact with them as you would with a chest.
How Many Weapon Caches Do You Need to Find?
This quest requires players to pilfer weapons from 10 weapon cases. This number is more than what you’ll typically find in one spot. So how can you complete the quest?
Currently, the best way to find guaranteed weapon cases is through the mod bunkers that open up mid-game. In a good spawn, you can find up to five of these bunkers in a single round. Head to these bunkers in a game or two, and you’ll easily be able to complete the quest.
Remember to search the weapon cases instead of just breaking them (even though it’s easier with multiple-case setups). This ensures that the Pilfer weapons from weapon cases Fortnite quest registers your progress.
