Guide to using a Loot Tent in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1

Loot Tents in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 come with two very useful utilities. Loot Tents allow players in a team to huddle together inside to heal up and lets players use the tent as cover to revive teammates.

The second most important use of the tents is storage during matches. Players can stash any item that is allowed to be stored away in these tents and can retrieve them later.

To use the tent in Fortnite Chapter 3 players need to follow these steps:

  • Players need to have Tent Pickup equipped in their inventories to use a tent in a match.
  • Once it is equipped, they can open a tent anywhere on the map to heal or stash items in it.
  • Stored items can be used in ongoing matches or in future matches. Tents can also be locked to prevent other players from accessing their stored items.

  • The kind of items players can use from a tent will depend on the mode they are playing. If an item is not allowed in a certain mode, players will be unable to retrieve that item from the tent. They can however replace it with a permissible item.
  • There are three slots available in a tent but only two are free. The third one needs to be bought with gold bars.

Players can also upgrade their tents with campfires, picnic tables and an upgrade station to make it more useful.
