Fortnite False Pieces of Eight: All 9 Toy Locations

Ahoy, matey! Fortnite's Pirates of the Caribbean event in Chapter 5, Season 3 dropped players into a treasure hunt with a twist. The False Pieces of Eight quest belonged to the Cursed Sails questline, specifically the Pirate Code Six batch. The task was wonderfully absurd: find nine counterfeit pieces of eight that looked nothing like coins. Instead, they were adorable stuffed animals scattered across three named locations. Even in 2026, the guide remains a fan-favorite because nothing says pirate loot like a tiny rubber duck waiting under an awning.

The quest required players to destroy all nine false pieces. Completing it rewarded a heap of XP and pushed players closer to the event's pirate-themed rewards. The best part? The targets could not fight back. They just sat there, looking cute until someone hit them with a pickaxe.

What Exactly Are the False Pieces of Eight?

Despite the fancy pirate name, the false pieces of eight are plush toys. Some look like familiar Fortnite characters. Others are just strange enough to make a player pause mid-loot. The quest does not always throw a giant map marker at each toy, so players needed to actually explore Pleasant Piazza, Lavish Lair, and Grand Glacier. The nine toys are split evenly: three per location. A player can destroy each toy using any weapon or a pickaxe. One solid bonk usually does the job.

All Nine False Pieces of Eight Locations

The table below covers every toy, its main location, and a short description to spot it without running in circles.

Piece	Main Location	Description
1	Pleasant Piazza	Western side, in front of a bus station bench: Coral Buddie toy.
2	Pleasant Piazza	Center of location, under an awning in the lower plaza: Rubber Duck toy.
3	Pleasant Piazza	Southeastern alley, in front of the Espresso shop: White Fishstick toy wearing red and green.
4	Lavish Lair	Southwestern corner, out on the patio by a table: Meowscles toy.
5	Lavish Lair	Western side, in front of the barn: Cuddle Team Leader toy.
6	Lavish Lair	To the left of the north entrance: Birdshot toy.
7	Grand Glacier	Northwest corner by a tall llama bush: Penguin toy.
8	Grand Glacier	Northeastern side, by the fence and a bush: Yellow Peely toy.
9	Grand Glacier	Southern entrance, inside the hedge maze: Yellow Cat toy.

Pleasant Piazza

This spot holds three toys. The Coral Buddie sits near a bus station bench on the western side. The Rubber Duck is tucked under an awning in the center lower plaza. The White Fishstick toy, dressed in red and green, waits near the Espresso shop in the southeastern alley. Pleasant Piazza is often busy, so a player should expect to clear the toys while dodging a few enemies.

Lavish Lair

Lavish Lair hides its three false pieces around the edges. The Meowscles toy sits on the southwestern patio beside a table. The Cuddle Team Leader toy waits in front of the barn on the western side. The Birdshot toy is positioned to the left of the north entrance. The area is opulent, but the toys are not exactly treasure chests. They are just soft little counterfeits.

Grand Glacier

Grand Glacier is where the hunt gets slightly icy. The Penguin toy is in the northwest corner by a tall llama bush. The Yellow Peely toy sits on the northeastern side near a fence and a bush. The Yellow Cat toy is inside the hedge maze at the southern entrance. The hedge maze can confuse players, so the best approach is to enter from the southern side and keep an eye out for a small yellow plush.

How to Smash the Counterfeits

Players can use any weapon to destroy the toys. A pickaxe is often the smartest choice because it saves ammo and gives the same satisfying result. A single swing or a few bullets will do. There is no puzzle, no boss, and no dramatic explosion. The toy just breaks, and the quest progresses. In a game full of sweaty builds and storm circles, this is a rare moment of peaceful destruction.

Tips for a Smooth Treasure Run

• Land at the edge of a named location, not directly on the toy. This gives a player time to grab a weapon.

• Use the pickaxe for the toys to keep ammo for real fights.

• Clear one location fully before rotating to the next.

• Watch for opponents near the Espresso shop, the barn, and the hedge maze.

• Bring a friend if the lobby feels too spicy. One player can break toys while the other watches angles.

Why This Quest Is Still Worth Remembering

The False Pieces of Eight quest may be old, but it represents exactly what makes Fortnite events fun. It took a pirate crossover and turned it into a weird plush-hunting scavenger hunt. The reward was solid XP, and the path toward the event's pirate rewards made the side quest feel worthwhile. In 2026, players still dig up this guide when the Pirates of the Caribbean content resurfaces or when they want a quick nostalgic breakdown. The toys may be false, but the fun was very real.
