Steel Farm location and chests in Fortnite explained
Finding Steel Farm's location on the Fortnite map can be rather difficult if you've never visited it before, because it's a landmark and, therefore, doesn't appear as a named location.
Steel Farm, thankfully, is quite easy to find - simply head to the island directly east of Corny Corps and there, at the northern end, you'll find Steel Farm.
When searching for chests within Steel Farm, it's important to remember that other players can open chests first and not every chest appears in every match. This means that, while you may find a chest under the stairs of Steel Farm in one match, it might not be there in another.
Here are the locations of three chests we found in Steel Farm:
- Under the stairs
- In the tower - you will need to destroy a wall to reach it
- In the attic on the second floor - you will need to build stairs and destroy the ceiling to reach it
Remember to listen for the sound of the chest glowing, because this will tell you if one is nearby!
If you're having trouble completing this challenge, we recommend visiting Steel Farm at the start of a match to ensure you're the first one to visit the location.
