According to the latest in-game News message, a Buried Treasure item is on the way to Fortnite. “Scour the island for hidden loot using the new Buried Treasure item,” the message reads.

It is unclear at this time how the Buried Treasure item will function. It’d make sense in the event the item somehow revealed an uncommon, highly effective weapon hidden someplace around the map-but most Fortnite fans don’t know what to count on yet.

This could go to be like an upgraded supply drop that you have to find by following the map; it will drop 3 legendary weapons, 100 of each material, and 3 traps.

Or this is just a hint towards what we’re getting. I feel like we’ll be getting a new Mythic item very soon, most likely that Bow that was shown in the Season 8 picture, you search for the chest and inside is the bow, it is very strong, but the arrow is slower than a sniper bullet but has really high damage, a headshot is over 200 damage, and a body shot is roughly 100, but it also has a special ability.

Epic generally teases that new fortnite items save the world are “coming soon” ideal before it’s ready to add them for the game-so the Buried Treasure item could join the globe of Fortnite as early as this week.

We’ll probably need to wait till the item is introduced, even though, to determine what impact it’ll have around the game — before that, knowing the fortnite trading process is a non-negligible point.
