How to use the lighthouse beam to reveal rare chests in Fortnite
In Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, players have a new weekly quest that requires them to locate and interact with a lighthouse beacon to reveal a hidden rare chest, then successfully open it. The lighthouse is positioned west of the buildings in Calamari Canyon, providing players with a specific landmark to search for.
The quest introduces a unique mechanic and difficulty: as players approach the chest after it’s been revealed by the lighthouse beam, the chest can vanish without warning, disappearing before it can be opened. This creates a time-sensitive element to the objective that players must overcome.
However, the quest guide indicates there is a reliable method to prevent the chest from disappearing. The guide promises to explain the strategy needed to ensure players can open the chest before it vanishes, making this weekly challenge completable despite its initial difficulty.
This quest is part of Fortnite’s ongoing seasonal content updates in Chapter 7 Season 3. Seasonal quests like this are a core component of Fortnite’s live-service model, offering players weekly objectives to complete in exchange for battle pass progression and various rewards. The lighthouse beam mechanic appears to be a season-specific feature unique to Chapter 7 Season 3.
