Fortnite Patch V8.01: New Buried Treasure Map

-
Epic Games has released the first patch V8.01 since Season 8 launched. As the patch V8.01 is released, players can now use maps to hunt for treasure.

"Use your pickaxe to uncover Buried Treasure! Find a map and follow it to sweet loot." the official Fortnite twitter wrote, "Follow the map to uncover hidden loot across the island! Find the X that marks the spot and get to digging." 
Fortnite-Buried Treasure Item Map
Buried treasure is buried chests which including "a trove of legendary loot". You will need to find the treasure's location with the map and dig it out. Before hunting treasure, you need to find the map first. It can be found as Floor Loot or in Chests, which players are limited to keep one at a time. This is a good way to make sure everyone has a chance to play as pirates and hunt for treasure evenly in Fortnite Season 8. 

When using the map, you will see a red line which is designed to direct you to the treasure's location. Once you approach the location, you will find a place with a very hand "X". That's where buried treasure is. Digging it with your pickaxe, which will take a bit of time. When you do this, keep an eye out for the environment around in case other players loot it from you. After managing to open the chest, you will get some rare and legendary items. 

It's noting that treasure maps are not exclusive for someone. Like other items, they can be looted from you. By killing you, other players can take the map and continue to find and dig the treasure out. Naturally, you can do the same; you could hunt down players using their maps and then take them out to snatch their loot.

Buried Treasure map is the big change to patch V8.01 in Fortnite Battle Royale mode. In addition, Epic "increased the angle at which you can slide down terrain without taking damage from 65 degrees to 75 degrees." There are also other changes like audio improvements, Weapons' availability adjustments and bug fixes. More details of this update, click here. 

Fortnite weapons and materials are now available in Fortnite item shop.
