How to find Ship in a Bottle Mythic in Fortnite

Fortnite’s Ship in a Bottle Mythic item was initially introduced during the Pirates of the Caribbean collaborative event. Its destructive power helps you complete a couple of quests, but depending on how you use it, it can also completely turn the tides of battle. Let’s find out how to find this peculiar Mythic-grade weapon.

Where to find Ship in a Bottle Mythic in Fortnite Cursed Sails event

The Ship in a Bottle Mythic item has a guaranteed spawn in barnacle chests. You can find these chests in Shipwreck Shallows and as a buried treasure reward. Alternatively, you can find it as rare floor loot or a drop from player eliminations, but this isn’t nearly as reliable.

In Shipwreck Shallows, you’ll find a large pirate ship full of treasure chests, including a barnacle chest in an office room. This chest is guaranteed to appear in every round, but you’ll often find other players competing for the loot here. If you arrive here quickly, you can grab the Ship in a Bottle alongside a Flint-Lock pistol, shield potion, and other helpful items.

Another option is searching around the Fortnite map for buried treasure maps. You can find them anywhere as chest and floor loot or as drops from other players. Holding a treasure map summons a blue arrow that leads you to a red X on the ground. Digging this spot with your pickaxe uncovers a barnacle chest that drops the Ship in a Bottle Mythic and other items like the Shipwreck Shallows chest.

Once you have the Ship in a Bottle, you can instantly use it like a potion, gun, or other items to activate its effect. It’ll summon a massive ship, destroying structures and damaging enemies along its path. Although it isn’t fast, it’s large, making it a viable escape option in a pinch.
