Fortnite's newest Chapter gave fans the fifth new map in the game’s six-year run. The vast landscape has many new landmarks and points of interest (POIs) to explore. However, a secret cave in Fortnite Chapter 5 is rapidly going viral.

Today, we’ll explain where you can find the secret cave and what you can expect when you find it.

Where is the secret cave in Fortnite Chapter 5?

To find the secret cave, head south of the Grand Glacier POI. It may take some time to see it, but the underground cave sits on the eastern shoreline, as marked on the map above. Once you locate the secret cave, it should be easy to revisit.

What will I find in the hidden cave?

There are 11 potential Chest spawns in the Fortnite Chapter 5 secret cave. However, the Chest spawn rate may reduce that number significantly. In any case, you will find two Chests upon entering the first part of the cave.

Then, as you move deeper into the cave, a third Chest blocks your path. After opening that Chest, you can bring it with a weapon or your pickaxe to continue through. You will find more Chests in the next section, but the loot does not end there.

The secret cave is worth exploring in Fortnite Chapter 5, offering plenty of worthwhile loot and a few Easter eggs. Let us know if you find it and whether you think it's worth dropping here consistently.
