How to Find a Cardboard Box in Fortnite

Solid Snake in Fortnite.

With all of the crazy weapons and items that Fortnite Battle Royale houses, it may seem strange that its newest item can be found in the garbage. However, it’s part of the Metal Gear Solid collaboration, which includes a set of challenges to unlock the Solid Snake skin, as well as a few accessories.

One of the trickier Solid Snake challenges is to “Hide in a Cardboard Box.” While this quest only takes ten seconds to complete, coming across a Cardboard Box has proven difficult for some. Thankfully, there’s more than one way for players to add them to their inventory.

Despite being a Mythic item, Cardboard Boxes can be found on the ground or in Chests. They don’t have the highest spawn rate, but players looking to play Fortnite for a few hours are bound to come across one. Gamers can also purchase a Cardboard Box from the Solid Snake NPC on the island above Lavish Lair.
