Solid Snake from the MGS franchise has arrived in Fortnite, bringing with him two different unique items to play around with. One of these items is the Cardboard Box and the other is the EMP Stealth Camo item. Both items give you an excellent MGS-style hiding ability. There are three different ways to get this item in the game, and you should definitely get it. Even if you’re not going to use it, you’ll need to know where to find the Cardboard Box to complete Solid Snake Quests in Fortnite.
Where To Find the Cardboard Box in Fortnite
If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid games before, the Cardboard Box item in Fortnite will be familiar to you. If you know what I’m talking about, the exclamation sound effect has likely already echoed around your brain. This item is used for stealth in MGS and has the same use in Fortnite. In fact, it has the same function as the Sneaky Snowmando, which was previously added to the game in Winterfest.
When it comes to where you can find this item, you can find it everywhere like many other items in the game. However, as we mentioned, there are three ways to get the Cardboard Box. The first is to loot it normally, and the second is to buy it from the Solid Snake NPC. You can get a Cardboard Box as floor loot and from chests. However, if you want a guaranteed solution, you can find the Solid Snake NPC on the island above the Lavish Lair and buy a Carboard Box from him for 100 Gold.
Lastly, a third method of obtaining a Cardboard Box is by getting lucky and picking one up from a deceased player. Yes, it’s largely contingent on luck, but it’s still a viable way of finding that elusive cardboard hiding spot.
