The Suitcase of Patience in Fortnite has gone viral. It’s a glorified Chest that takes roughly ten minutes to open!
Fortnite is no stranger to easter eggs, secrets, and in-game trolls to keep the community guessing. In that regard, Chapter 6 Season 3 introduced the suitcase of patience, which has gone viral across the scene. As they say, good things come to those who wait, and that saying is the basis of this easter egg.
Seeing this journey through to the end requires patience and luck, especially in public matches. This article explains everything you need to know about Fortnite's latest trending easter egg.
What is the Suitcase of Patience in Fortnite, and where can I find it?
You can find this easter egg exactly where you'd expect to—in the middle of nowhere. Specifically, you must head to this nondescript shack located northeast of Foxy Floodgate. Once landing, you will find a small building with an ammo crate and two Slurp Barrels outside.
Head into the building, where you may or may not find a Chest, and lying on the ground is the Suitcase of Patience. So, why is it called that? Well, the name likely refers to the fact that it will take you roughly ten minutes of real time to open it.
Yes, that means you will have to sit in a Fortnite match holding the action key with danger waiting around every corner. Therein lies the ultimate challenge and troll by Epic Games. Unless you have a support-a-creator code, which allows you to start a private match, you will have to endure almost certain pain.

What's inside the Suitcase?
This suitcase functions as an elevated Epic chest, containing gold bars, healing items, Epic and Mythic rarity weapons, and building materials. The loot may vary, but that encompasses most of the footage we've witnessed of players successfully opening the suitcase.
You'll also see the recurring Coral Buddies inside singing their usual tune. These characters first appeared in Chapter 1 Season 7, and have reappeared many times over the years.
We had zero luck actually opening the suitcase
Despite multiple attempts, we came up short every time attempting to open Fortnite's Suitcase of Patience. Our best effort saw us reach about 75% before a genuine villain rolled up out of nowhere to spoil the party.
However, plenty of footage exists of players successfully opening the suitcase. It's worth noting that many of the available videos depict players in private lobbies. The real challenge, and one worth trying, is squadding up with some teammates and attempting to open it in a public match.
We love it when Fortnite adds fun easter eggs like this, regardless of how impossible they seem. The player base seems to enjoy it too, so hopefully these don't end anytime soon.
