Where to find Combat Caches
Combat Caches do not have a set location in Fortnite, but once they appear you will see a beam of light signifying their location. Also, if you're nearby when a Combat Cache materialises, you will hear an audible noise as it rifts in and get an automatic ping of its exact location.
Usually, Combat Caches start to appear when there are around 30 people left, so you will have to survive a while to cache in.
How to recover a Combat Cache
To recover a Combat Cache, you will need to approach it before anyone else does and press the button prompt that appears. Now, you will need to wait roughly 50 seconds for the Combat Cache to burst open.
Be wary while recovering a Combat Cache because these loot-filled banks are oftentimes highly contested. Enemy players can see the Combat Cache too and will know when someone is actively recovering it.
What's in a Combat Cache?
Like Supply Drops from Fortnite old, Combat Caches are loaded with high-tier loot. You will get an assortment of weapons, special items, shields and health. Not all of it will be useful but it's a great way to get some good loot before the end of a match.
