You can find the Buried Treasure Map inside the chests and as floor loot around the Fortnite OG map. You can find this item at any POI in the game, but in my experience, the best places to find this item are Pirate Camps. After I opened up lots of chests in different locations, however, I wasn’t able to get any Buried Treasure Map from them. So far, I’ve only found 2 and both of them were acquired from a Pirate Camp.
As the name of the item suggests, you’re able to find Buried Treasures in Fortnite OG thanks to this item. With these maps, you can get up to 4 Epic or Legendary weapons for yourself. On the other hand, it will provide you with a decent amount of ammunition, and consumables like Armor or Medkits.
