Where to Find Chrome Keys
Chrome Keys can currently be found just about anywhere in Fortnite Season 4. Unlike the EvoChrome weapons, you do not have to be in a chrome biome or searching chrome chests.
They may pop out of any chest, with a higher chance when opening a rare chest, or just be found lying on the floor in a building. Chrome Keys are, however, a little rare. Chances are you're more likely to come across them if you eliminate a player who was holding some.
What Are Chrome Keys For?
Chrome Keys are used for opening the vaults on the island in Fortnite Season 4. These vaults are usually quite easy to access and will show up on the map as a little lock. The number of keyholes in the lock shows you how many Chrome Keys you need to unlock it.
Once you have the required amount, approach the nearest vault and use a key on each lock to open it. Single lock vaults will have a few chests, rare chests and ammo boxes inside. Double lock vaults make a lot more noise and take longer to open but have 2/3x the chests and loot to take.
These keys will probably play a big role in each game as they're a great way to get a headstart on your competitors. The sooner you can get your hands on one or two Chrome Keys and access a vault, the better.
