How to collect items from Hive Stashes in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4

Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 4 has introduced a creepy bug-themed takeover, transforming parts of the island with eerie new features. Among these are Hive Stashes—glowing, loot-filled sacs guarded by swarms of insects. If you're trying to complete the quest to collect items from Hive Stashes, this guide will help you locate them, avoid their defenses, and secure the best rewards.

How to Collect Items from Hive Stashes in Fortnite


To complete this seasonal challenge, you’ll need to gather 10 items from Hive Stashes. Since each stash only drops a few items, you’ll have to crack open multiple stashes—typically three to four—to finish the quest.

Tips for Faster Looting:


  • Pick up everything—even unwanted items count toward progress.
  • Drop unneeded loot afterward to free up inventory space.
  • Watch out for enemy players, as Hive Stashes are often in high-traffic bug zones.

What Are Hive Stashes?


Hive Stashes are large, pulsating orange sacs filled with weapons, ammo, and healing items. However, they’re heavily guarded—approach one, and hostile bugs will swarm you. Clearing them out quickly is key to grabbing the loot safely.

Where to Find Hive Stashes in Fortnite


Hive Stashes spawn in Queen Colonies, marked on the map by a giant caterpillar-like Queen icon. These areas are infested with bugs, making them dangerous but rewarding. Some of the best locations include:


  • The abandoned areas near Lavish Lair
  • The corrupted zones around Reckless Railways
  • Bug-infested forests in the eastern part of the map


Landing at these spots early in the match increases your chances of finding multiple stashes before other players loot them.

What Loot Do Hive Stashes Drop?


While you won’t find Mythic or Exotic weapons inside, Hive Stashes provide:


  • Random weapons (usually Uncommon or Rare)
  • Shield potions & Medkits
  • Ammo & materials


Since the loot is randomized, opening more stashes improves your chances of getting useful gear.

Final Tips for Success


  • Bring a fast-firing weapon to deal with swarming bugs.
  • Build cover before opening a stash to avoid ambushes.
  • Complete the quest early in the season while fewer players are contesting the stashes.

  • By following these strategies, you’ll finish the Hive Stash quest quickly and gear up for the rest of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 4!
