How To Find The Cardboard Box in Fortnite
First and foremost, to use the iconic cardboard box, players will first need to find it, and they can do so in two ways. Players can either find the cardboard box in the form of dropped loot from an eliminated player or in one of the numerous lootable chests scattered around the game’s map. Moreover, they can also buy it from the legendary Solid Snake himself in exchange for 100 gold bars.
Starting with the first method, it is quite self-explanatory. For this method to work, players will either have to join a Battle Royale game and kill enemies, or explore the game’s map thoroughly and search through numerous chests accordingly. If they’re lucky, an eliminated player should drop a pickable glowing white box or they’ll find it lying in a chest.
As simple as this process sounds, however, it must be pointed out that this is a rare item and the chances of it occurring are quite rare, and the process can often become quite a frustrating exercise for players to do.
In the second method, players will get a guaranteed cardboard box, but they’ll have to embark on a little adventure to a small island located north of Lavish Lair. On reaching this small island, players will notice a campfire and see Solid Snake wandering in and around the area. On interacting with him, players will be able to buy the cardboard box from him in exchange for 100 gold bars.
This is, by far, the surest way of acquiring a cardboard box in Fortnite but there is also no denying the fact that it is also one of the most expensive ways too.

How to Use the Cardboard Box in Fortnite
Once players have the cardboard box in their possession, either through looting an eliminated player, finding it in a random chest, or by buying it directly from the iconic Solid Snake himself, players will now be able to use it in-game to hide from both in-game NPCs as well as real-life players.
To use the cardboard in-game, all payers have to do is follow the following steps:
- First, players must equip the cardboard box by adding it to their inventory.
- Next, they must select it and throw the box on the ground. By doing so, the small cardboard box will inflate into a life-sized cardboard box that players can use to hide inside. To hide instantaneously, however, all players have to do is throw the cardboard box directly at their feet.
- Next players need to approach the box and select the hide prompt that will appear on their screens. By pressing the appropriate button, players will successfully camouflage themselves in the box. To pass the game’s challenge, players will need to hide in the box for at least 10 seconds.
- While in the cardboard box, apart from evading hostiles by hiding from them, players can also freely move around unnoticed, jumping and performing various other actions in the process as well.
