Fortnite’s latest update in Chapter 6 Season 3 has introduced a very different kind of loot item: the Suitcase of Patience. As the name suggests, this loot chest demands a lot of waiting — and that’s not just a joke.
While the rewards inside the suitcase can be tempting, there’s a big question among players: Is it even worth the time? Let’s break down what this suitcase is, where you can find it, and how (or if) you should open it during a match.
Where to Find the Suitcase of Patience in Fortnite?
Right now, there’s only one known location where this special suitcase spawns.
You’ll find it inside a small shed located northeast of the Foxy Floodgate, right in the middle of the map. The shed sits between a river and a road.
Once you enter the shed, make sure to crouch and close the door behind you to avoid being spotted by other players. The suitcase will be lying on the ground, ready to be opened.
How to Open the Suitcase of Patience?
Opening the suitcase is not like opening a regular loot chest. Once you press the interact button, the opening timer appears — but instead of just a few seconds, it takes 10 full minutes to open.
Yes, 10 minutes.
The circle that shows progress will move painfully slowly. If the action gets interrupted — whether by moving, getting attacked, or accidentally pressing another button — you’ll need to start all over again. Unfortunately, there’s no way to speed it up, and no, smashing it with your pickaxe won’t help either.
Should You Open the Suitcase?
In most cases, probably not.
A regular Fortnite match lasts around 20 to 25 minutes, and the suitcase takes up half that time just to open. While you’re sitting there waiting, you’re an easy target. Even if you survive a sneak attack, you’ll likely be behind on loot and positioning compared to other players.
However, there’s one situation where opening the suitcase makes sense: when playing in a squad. In that case, teammates can guard you while you wait it out. But if you’re playing solo, the risk is quite high
What’s Inside the Suitcase?
If you do manage to open it, the suitcase can give you random items, including epic or legendary weapons.
But don’t expect guaranteed top-tier loot every time — the results vary, and you’ll need a bit of luck to score big.
Summary
The Suitcase of Patience is a fun addition for those who enjoy risk and high-stakes rewards. But unless you’re in a protected team setting, waiting 10 minutes in a battle royale isn’t ideal.
It’s a cool idea, but for most players, patience may not be the best strategy.
