  • The levitating bench is more likely to make an appearance in Ghost towns, as offered by [blenderwolf].
  • While some players express surprise at spotting the balloon-propelled bench, those like [DHJudas] seem rather more familiar with the sight, hinting at even rarer Easter eggs.

The Mystery Unraveled

While the levitating stash remains quite peculiar and rare according to many players, others have reported encountering this alluring in-game mechanic repeatedly, offering mixed perceptions of its rarity. The collected conversations reveal a split between those surprised by the airborne bench and those who consider it a rather regular sight.

To add to the intriguing mystery, this airborne chest appears not to be the game’s only Easter egg, leaving us to wonder what other surprises Fortnite may have in store.

Player Strategies

Not one to leave a treasure chest aloof, regardless of its airborne status, some players like [adwd40] resort to using a bow to shoot down the high-flying cache, a resourceful solution that adds another layer of excitement to the game.
