In the Fortnite lobby, open Quests, scroll the categories on the left to Treasure Hunt (not "Treasure Hunters") and select it. The chest-opening quest shows how many chests you've opened this season. Players report it stops showing a total once you finish the 1,000-chest stage. After that, use a chest counter to keep going.

How to check how many chests you've opened, step by step
- Sign in on the account you play Treasure Hunters on. The count is tied to your Epic account, not your device.
- Open the Quests tab from the lobby. Quest categories are listed down the left side.
- Scroll to "Treasure Hunt". The season is called Treasure Hunters, but the quest category is Treasure Hunt. That one-letter difference is why many players can't find it.
- Read the chest-opening quest. Its progress number is your season total. It pays bonus XP at milestones along the way.
These steps match the GAMES.GG guide and player reports. Epic hasn't documented the screen itself.
Why your chest count stops at 1,000
The number belongs to a quest, not a stats page. There are separate chest quests, and players report they stop at 1,000 regular chests, 100 Rare Chests and 100 Sprite Chests. Once you complete them, the chest quests disappear and Fortnite no longer shows a running total Reported. Neither the post-match summary nor the Career tab shows chests opened either.
Getting close to 1,000? Check your number now and write it down before you finish the quest. That's the last exact figure Fortnite will give you.
How to keep counting past 1,000 chests
There's no official way to see your chest count once the quest is complete. Your practical options:
- Use the chest counter. Open Settings, choose "Set total chests manually", enter 1000 (or your last number) and save. Then tap +1 after each chest. It saves in your browser and shows your live token odds.
- Estimate from your matches. Note how many matches it took you to finish the 1,000-chest quest. 1,000 ÷ those matches is your average per match. Then multiply by the matches played since (your Career tab shows matches played). Players commonly report 20 to 50 chests per match when they're looting hard.
- Tally per session. A quick note like "Saturday: 9 matches, about 60 chests" adds up to a decent running total.
For the Pirate Shop Token, your count is about perspective, not progress. No number of chests unlocks anything or guarantees a drop. See what your count means on the odds calculator.
Do your teammates' chests count?
| What | Whose chests count | Shared with squad? |
|---|---|---|
| Treasure Hunt quest count | Only chests you open | No |
| Chest-opening bonus XP | The player who opens it | No |
| Pirate Shop Access (token) | Any chest anyone in the party opens | Yes, reported |
Because the token is reported to be shared with the whole party, your squad's total matters for your odds. The chest counter has a party-size setting that multiplies your count for the odds. And if you're eliminated, stay in the match: players report you still share a teammate's find as long as you haven't left.
Which chests count toward your total
Players and guides report that these chest types are tied to Treasure Hunt prizes Reported:
- Treasure Chests, the everyday chests and your main source of rolls
- Rare Chests
- Buried Chests, which take time to dig up
- Sprite Chests, which appear in larger numbers on Mastery Mondays
Crossbones Isle has more than 500 chests, and each vault holds three Rare Chests and a Sprite Chest. Vault keys drop mostly from chests, and equipping one marks its vault on your minimap. A key works once. Nothing suggests one chest type has better token odds, so the goal is simply more chests per match. More tips are in the Pirate Shop Token guide.
A simple counting routine
- Early in the season: glance at the Treasure Hunt quest once a day so you always know your last number.
- Near 1,000: note the exact count before you complete the quest.
- After 1,000: keep the counter open on your phone or a second screen and tap after each chest. On PC, press Space.
- In a squad: pick one person to track and set the party size.
Beware of "chest tracker" apps that want your Epic login. Nothing outside Fortnite can read your chest count. Any app or site claiming to "sync" your chests or "scan" for a token by logging in is trying to steal your account.

FAQ
How do I see how many chests I've opened in Fortnite?
Open the Quests tab in the lobby, scroll the left-hand list to Treasure Hunt and select it. The chest-opening quest shows your total for the season.
Why can't I see my chest count anymore?
Players report the chest quests disappear once you reach 1,000 regular chests (and 100 Rare and 100 Sprite Chests), so the running total stops showing. Enter your last number into a manual chest counter and keep counting from there.
Can I see my chest count past 1,000?
Not in the game. The post-match summary and Career tab don't show chests opened. A manual counter like chestcounter.app has no limit, or you can estimate from matches played × your average chests per match.
Do my teammates' chests add to my count?
No. The quest only counts chests you open yourself. For the Pirate Shop Token, though, your whole party's chests matter because the token is reported to be shared.
How many chests do players open per match?
Players looting hard commonly report 20 to 50 chests per match, and more in good games. Divide 1,000 by the number of matches it took you to finish the chest quest to get your own average.
Is there an app that tracks my Fortnite chests automatically?
No legitimate one. Fortnite doesn't expose this number outside the game, so counters work by tapping. Avoid anything that asks for your Epic login.
