Leaks suggest that Epic Games is working on a searchable object called Jetpack Container in Fortnite Chapter 3

Searchable objects are not new in Fortnite and the developers have been adding these things to the game in one way or another. In Chapter 2 Season 1, the developers added the Fishing Barrels, which were searchable barrels found around the island containing Fishing Rods, Harpoon Guns, and Pro Fishing Rods. Players could walk up to the Fishing Barrels and search them in order for them to drop items. Now the developers are doing something similar in Chapter 3.

According to well-known data miner and leaker iFireMonkey, the developers are hard at work in creating a new searchable object in the game called a Jetpack Container. The leaker stated that these will give out items to players when searched or when destroyed "similar to Fishing Rod Barrels." You can check out the tweet below.

While no other details about the item have been shared, it is possible that these might be related to some challenges or quests in the game.
