If you want to get the new Solid Snake skin in Fortnite, you need to know how to hide in a cardboard box. This is a Metal Gear crossover after all – were you expecting something smaller?
After weeks of waiting, Solid Snake and all of its matching cosmetics have finally arrived in Chapter 5: Season 1 Battle Pass. To celebrate the occasion, two Mythic items have been added to the game’s loot pool: the EMP Stealth camouflage and the Cardboard Box.
Where to find a cardboard box in Fortnite
Here you will find Cardboard Boxes as loose loot or by searching chests, but remember that these are mythical items, so the risk of encountering one of them is quite slim. I tried to find one this way.
To make sure you get the cardboard box, go to the small island north of Lavish Lair to find it Solid Snake NPC who will sell you one for 100 gold bars. I have marked its location on the map below.
I would recommend doing this at the beginning of the match, as Snake will most likely be a popular NPC to talk to! Every time I visited it I was attacked by other players, so be careful.
How to hide in a cardboard box for 10 seconds
Once you have the cardboard in your inventory, simply aim and throw it to the ground like a grenade. Then approach it and press the interact button to jump inside! You can still walk, but you can’t use weapons, leaving you vulnerable to enemy fire.
