Fortnite’s Hot Bat Summer event rewards players with 10,000 XP after opening just three Safes or Cash Registers, accelerating progress on the Chapter 7 Season 3 Battle Pass.
The Quest at a Glance
Players searching the Hot Bat Summer “Loot Safes or Cash Registers” task must find and open three special containers scattered across the map. Completing the task grants 10,000 XP and brings participants closer to the event’s free cosmetics.
Safes in Season 3
Safes differ from standard chests by yielding only Gold Bars, and they impose an optional wait time that can expose a player to neighbours. Nonetheless, if opened instead of destroyed, they reward experience points. The current season offers 15 Safes, mainly within main points of interest (POIs) and vaults. The following is a concise map of their placements:
- Lifty Lodge POI – 1 Safe
- Wonkeeland POI – 4 Safes
- Golden Grove POI – 1 Safe
- Cluster Coast POI – 2 Safes
- Sunken Shores POI – 2 Safes (north‑east and west of the POI)
- Heatwave Harbor POI – 1 Safe (south‑west)
- Sinister Strip POI – 1 Safe (north)
- Frosted Flats POI – 1 Safe (vault)
- The Battlewoods POI – 2 Safes (main and west)
Cash Registers
Cash Registers, like Safes, dispense Gold Bars but distribute a smaller amount. They shine in reliability, with a 100 % spawn rate, and deliver 100 XP each time they’re opened. The Season 3 map hosts 64 registers, mostly hidden in commercial buildings across the known POIs. A short reference of their positions is provided below:
- Lifty Lodge POI – 10 total (6 main, 3 west, 1 east)
- Latte Landing POI – 8 registers
- Wonkeeland POI – 4 registers
- Golden Grove POI – 2 registers
- Frosted Flats POI – 9 registers (7 main, 2 south‑west)
- Cluster Coast POI – 5 registers (4 main, 1 north‑east)
- Sunken Shores POI – 4 registers (2 east, 2 north‑east)
- Heatwave Harbor POI – 6 registers (4 main, 2 west)
- Sinister Strip POI – 2 registers (main, north)
- Calamari Canyon POI – 1 register
- Chopped Shop POI – 3 registers (south)
- The Battlewoods POI – 10 registers
Optimal Landing Spots
Choosing a POI with a dense register presence and low enemy activity maximises efficiency. Cluster Coast offers a high register count along the map edge, reducing travel time and exposure to hostile players. Landing near the periphery of a POI also provides swift access to multiple stores.
Step‑by‑Step to 10,000 XP
1. Select a POI such as Cluster Coast or one of the large player hubs.
2. Verify the surrounding area is clear of rivals upon landing.
3. Enter any nearby store or commercial construction and search for Cash Registers—or, if a Safe is visible, it may be opened instead.
4. Open three registers or safes, watching for the XP reward that follows each successful loot.
5. Return to the game’s home interface to confirm the 10,000 XP award and any event progress.
By following these steps, the Hot Bat Summer quest can be completed within a single match, streamlining rewards while keeping progress momentum in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3.
