The Imperial Chest is a Container in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 that players can search to receive a variety of loot, such as the E-11 Blaster Rifle, a Mythic Assault Weapon from the game's crossover with Star Wars. This Mythic gun functions similarly to the First Order Blaster Rifle but features a faster cooldown time and a more rapid rate of fire. The Minigun in Fortnite Chapter 3 would be a good comparison for the E-11 Blaster Rifle's cooldown period. As a weapon that uses Energy Ammo, this Blaster Rifle has infinite ammo, making it a solid choice for sustain in combat.
Imperial Chests are characterized by a rectangular shape made up of two squares that appears slightly reminiscent of cubes from Portal. Furthermore, the lid has six prominent glowing bars on top. When players get close to the Container, it will make a noticeable pulsing "white-noise" sound like the inside of an air vent. However, this sound will fade away once it has been opened. This audible feature is an excellent indication to know whether a player is presently opening the Imperial Chest or if the box has already been looted.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 features Star Wars Imperial Chests in unmarked map locations known as Imperial Docking Bays. Players can find a total of five bays across the Island of Artemis, each with several lootable Containers. The boxes will be concealed inside white, tube-like tents placed about each outpost. To open an Imperial Chest, players can approach it and hold the interact button like any other Container to search its contents.
