How to Check How Many Chests You’ve Opened in Fortnite
Your chest counts are in the Quests tab, under the Treasure Hunt section: one each for Treasure, Rare and Sprite Chests. Here is where to look, and what to do when the numbers stop being useful.
Open the chest counterSteps to check your chests opened
Go to the lobby
Log in with the Epic account you play on. The counts are tied to the account, not the device, so they are the same on console, PC and mobile.
Open the Quests tab
It is in the row of tabs at the top of the lobby screen.
Scroll to Treasure Hunt
In the list on the left side, scroll down until you reach the Treasure Hunt section and select it.
Read the three numbers
The section holds three quests: Treasure Chests, Rare Chests and Sprite Chests. Each shows how many chests of that type you have opened during the Treasure Hunters mini-season.
Add them up
Fortnite does not show a combined total. Your chests opened is the three numbers added together.
These steps match published guides as of November 11, 2026. Epic moves menus around between updates, so the section may shift position.
What the three chest counts mean
Each count belongs to a quest that moves forward in stages. One guide lists the stage targets below; your own Quests tab shows the ones that apply to you.
| Quest | Stage targets (chests opened) |
|---|---|
| Treasure Chests | 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000 |
| Rare Chests | 2, 10, 25, 50, 100 |
| Sprite Chests | 2, 10, 25, 50, 100 |
- Treasure Chests are the ordinary chests found all over the map. This is the number most players mean when they ask how many chests they have opened.
- Rare Chests sit inside vaults, which need a Vault Key to open.
- Sprite Chests are dug up with your pickaxe after you collect a Treasure Map in a town.
More on the quests and their rewards is in the Fortnite Treasure Hunt guide.
If you cannot find your chests opened
- Check you are on the right account. Players with more than one Epic account often look at the wrong one.
- Update the game. The Treasure Hunt section arrived with the mini-season that started on November 1, 2026. An older client will not show it.
- Play a match first. Event sections can stay hidden until you have made some progress in them.
- Look again after the event. The section belongs to a limited-time event, reported to end on December 5, 2026. Once it ends, the counts may no longer be shown.
What the in-game chest count does not tell you
The Quests tab gives three running counts and nothing else. You cannot see a combined total, how many chests you opened in your last match, how many today, or how fast you are going. You can only see it from the lobby, not during a match.
Some players also report that the Treasure Chest number stops going up at 1,000. That is the last stage one guide lists for the quest, and a quest has nothing left to track once its final stage is done. Epic has not confirmed a limit and other guides say there is none. If you plan to open far more than 1,000 chests, it is safer not to rely on it.
This matters if you are hunting the Pirate Shop token. At 1 in 137,500 per chest, the players chasing it open thousands of chests, well past the point where the game may stop counting.
Keep your own chest count alongside it
The simplest fix is a tally of your own. Open the Fortnite chest counter on your phone, set it to your three Quests tab numbers added together, and tap once per chest while you play. It keeps going past any limit, logs each day separately, and shows your chance of having found the Pirate Shop token so far.
If the two drift apart, trust the game while its numbers are still moving and correct the counter with Set total.
Questions and answers
Can I see my chest total during a match?
No. The counts are only shown in the Quests tab in the lobby.
Does Fortnite show one total for all chests?
No. Treasure, Rare and Sprite Chests are counted in three separate quests. To get one number, add the three together.
Do chests opened by teammates count toward my total?
The counts in your Quests tab are your own. To keep a manual tally comparable with it, count only the chests you open yourself.
Does the chest total reset?
The counts belong to the Treasure Hunters mini-season. They are not expected to carry over once the event ends, though Epic has not published details.
Is there a limit on how many chests I can open?
No limit on opening chests has been announced. The open question is only whether the displayed number keeps rising after 1,000.
Can a website read my chest total automatically?
Not this one, and be careful with any site that asks for your Epic login to do so. A manual counter needs no account access.
