Where to find Star Wars Republic Chests in Fortnite
Republic Chests are located inside Republic Outposts that are mostly spread around four areas on the Fortnite island. The best locations to find these Outposts are near Brutal Bastion, Slappy Shores, Shattered Slabs, and Frenzy Fields.
It might be a bit difficult at first to locate these outposts in the game, but as a general rule, it’s best to stick to the northeast or southwest corners of the map and avoid the areas towards the center of the map.
