How to count Fortnite chests

Updated

A manual Fortnite chest counter is useful when you want a personal record of opened chests across a run, a play session, or several matches. Loot Ledger keeps the recording step simple: open a chest in your game, then add one in the tool.

This is a browser companion. It does not join a match, read an Epic account, or verify in-game quests.

Start a chest counting session

  1. Open the Fortnite chest counter on a phone or second screen.
  2. Set a personal session target, such as 25 or 100. This is your target, not an official quest requirement.
  3. After opening a chest, select Add chest. On desktop you can press Space while the page itself is focused. Space on a button activates that button normally.
  4. Continue through your matches. The current session remains active until you start a new one or reset it.

Add chests after a match

If it is easier to count between matches, use +5, +10, or a custom batch. For 13 openings, you could add +10 and then enter a custom batch of 3. A custom batch accepts whole numbers from 1 to 10,000.

Decide on a consistent counting rule before you start. For example, record only chests you personally open, rather than all chests opened by your squad. Loot Ledger does not infer chest type or ownership.

Correct a mistake without losing your run

Use the minus button to subtract one chest. The count stops at zero. Undo reverses your most recent counting action, including a batch, starting a session, or resetting all counts. Undo has one step and is held only while the page is open.

Finish a run and keep the total

Start new session puts the current count back to zero and increases the session number, while preserving the total across sessions. Use Export record before a full reset if you want a separate copy of your progress.

Browser storage is specific to this browser and device. It is not an online account or cloud backup. Read the saved chest tracker guide before switching devices or clearing browser data.

Track goals and rewards separately

Your target measures openings you record. It does not certify that a Fortnite quest has advanced: quest rules can depend on a mode, location, chest type, or other conditions. Check the game itself for the official objective.

The reward probability calculator is a separate planning model. It needs a per-chest probability you supply, and its example values are not official Fortnite rates.
