The Visitor’s got quite a collection of quests for you to tackle, many of which challenge you to interact with gameplay mechanics you likely don’t usually use in Fortnite. One such mission tasks you with using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.
Treasure Cannons aren’t common, and can only be found and interacted with around one specific location on the island. Because of this, there’s a high likelihood you’ve never seen them before. Here’s how to find and use Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base in Fortnite.

Where to find Treasure Cannons in Fortnite
You can find Treasure Cannons near the large water pool at Wonkeeland in Fortnite. Specifically, they are found around the pool at the bottom of the massive waterslide near the far northern edge of this theme park area, which is Rexxer’s Rumble Ruins. To access the pool, you can simply walk over to the area from anywhere in Wonkeeland, or hop in one of the nearby Flusher locations to go up to the top of the ride and slide down into it.
Around this area, there are only a few Treasure Cannons to interact with. They’re quite rare, which can make finding and interacting with the required number rather tough. Luckily, there are enough to get the use Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base quest done in one match as long as you act before other players do.
Treasure Cannons are yellow and silver cannons that are propped up on a wooden base with wheels. All of them have an animated golden sparkle to them, which is helpful for pinpointing their exact locations once you’re in the right area.
Most interactive items you’re tasked with finding in Fortnite have quite a few spawn locations around the island. Treasure Cannons are a unique exception, though, and only exist around this specific area. Luckily, they’re guaranteed to be at this same spot in every round, making them easy to find and use once you know where to look.
How to use Treasure Cannons in Fortnite
To use a Treasure Cannon, approach one and select the button that pops up next to the “Light fuse” option. This button varies by platform, but is always displayed by this text if the cannon hasn’t been used yet and can still be triggered.
Upon selecting this option, the Treasure Cannon will charge up for a few seconds. Then, after a short period of time has passed, it’ll spit out a random collection of loot items you can pick up nearby. The exact loot each one drops varies, but usually includes gold bars, ammo, and a weapon or two.
If there’s no option to interact with the Treasure Cannon, it means another player has already set it off and claimed the rewards it was hiding. Because there are only a few of them around, it’s a good idea to land at Wonkeeland straight from the battle bus when you’re working on this quest. You can easily start off the round by triggering them, since doing so helps you obtain useful loot.
