Fortnitemares is in full swing in Fortnite, bringing not only exciting crossovers but also plenty of spooky items to discover across the island. One of these is the Pumpkin Chest, a limited-time chest that can reward you with powerful weapons, Sprites, and other useful loot.
However, tracking down Pumpkin Chests isn’t always easy, especially with so much happening across the island during Fortnitemares. To make your search easier, we’ve put together a complete guide covering all Pumpkin Chest locations in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, along with the rewards you can get from opening them.
All Pumpkin Chest locations in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4
There are a total of 45 Pumpkin Chests scattered across the Fortnite island during Fortnitemares 2026. If you want to find several without traveling too far, some of the best areas to search are north of Stone Sanctum, Wonkeeland, and Nightmare Neighborhood.
Fortunately, Pumpkin Chests are fairly easy to recognize once you’re nearby. They have a distinctive purple glow and a large, creepy Jack-o’-lantern face, making them stand out from regular chests.
You can use the map below to find all 45 Pumpkin Chest locations in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.
Since other players may also be hunting for these chests, consider landing near an area with multiple Pumpkin Chest spawns. This gives you a better chance of opening one before another player gets there.
What do Pumpkin Chests do in Fortnite?
Now that you know where to find Pumpkin Chests, you might be wondering whether they’re actually worth searching for. The short answer is yes, especially if you’re looking for powerful loot or specific Sprites.
Each Pumpkin Chest contains randomized loot, with a chance to drop Legendary weapons and other useful gear. However, the biggest reason to open one is the guaranteed Sprite.
Depending on the chest, you can get Sprites such as:
- Bounty Hunter Sprite
- Morgana Sprite
- Blinky Sprite
- Vampire Sprite
Fortnitemares 2026 introduced several Halloween-themed Sprites, including the Vampire Sprite, which can also be obtained from Pumpkin Chests.
Opening Pumpkin Chests can also contribute toward certain Fortnitemares quests, giving you another reason to track them down while exploring the island.
How to open a Pumpkin Chest in Fortnite
Opening a Pumpkin Chest works just like opening most other containers in Fortnite. Simply walk up to the chest and hold the Interact button until it opens.
On PC, the default interact key is F, while controller players can use their assigned interact button. Once opened, the Pumpkin Chest will drop its Sprite along with any weapons and other loot inside.
Just make sure the area is clear before opening one. The chest-opening animation leaves you vulnerable for a moment, and popular Pumpkin Chest locations can attract other players looking for the same loot.
Are Pumpkin Chests worth opening?
Yes. Pumpkin Chests are particularly useful during Fortnitemares because you’re getting more than the usual random chest loot. The guaranteed Sprite alone makes them worth seeking out, while the chance of getting high-rarity weapons can give you an advantage early in a match.
If you’re already near one of the 45 locations, there’s little reason to pass one up.
Final thoughts
Pumpkin Chests are scattered across the Fortnite island throughout Fortnitemares 2026, with 45 locations to discover. Areas such as Stone Sanctum, Wonkeeland, and Nightmare Neighborhood are particularly useful if you want to hunt down multiple chests quickly.
Whether you’re after a Vampire Sprite, Morgana Sprite, Legendary weapon, or simply trying to complete your Fortnitemares quests, opening these chests can give you a useful head start in your next match.
