Back in Chapter 1 Season 4, Fortnite added a Weekly Quest that required players to open seven chests at Risky Reels, a fairly small POI. At the time, Weekly Quests were one of the most significant ways to earn XP in Fortnite, so in lobbies across the entire world, most players would choose to land at Risky Reels simultaneously.

Fortnite Battle Royale: Tips and Tricks to Victory

Struggling to get Victory Royale in Fortnite? Here are some essential tips and tricks that might just help players to win a match or more.

That week went down in Fortnite history, and the quest continues to be remembered as one of the most chaotic tasks ever. Epic Games has a great sense of humor, and they added the same quest "Open chests at Risky Reels (7)" back into the game with the release of Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 4.

Risky Reels Chest Locations

In total, players can find 12 chests at Risky Reels. If they're lucky and land there by themselves or with very few opponents, they'll be able to open a significant number of chests and might even conclude the quest in one go.

Back in the day, more players were drawn to these smaller and more secluded locations on the map, which is what caused the mayhem in the first place. Nowadays, gamers shouldn't run into as much trouble while trying to complete this quest.
