How to find and accept SHADOW briefings in Fortnite

For all looking to get a few extra rewards and complete all Absolute Doom quests.

Like in previous seasons, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 players can get a few high-quality drops and good sums of gold by finding and then completing the many Shadow Briefings scattered across The Island.

But although featured in a large number, finding the briefing stations will demand a little bit of searching, especially if you are playing solo. So that you can easily find each of them, here are the locations of all Shadow Briefings in Fortnite, as well as how to accept them.

All Shadow Briefing locations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

As you can see in the image below, courtesy of the Fortnite World Interactive Map, you can find a total of 43 Shadow Briefings in Fortnite, divided between 8 Vehicle, 12 Plunder, 10 Supply Drop, and 13 Armory Briefings. After you get close to any of the stations, a terminal icon will appear on your map and mini-map, signaling its location. Keep in mind that most of them will spawn at random, so don’t expect all 43 to be featured in a single match.

How to accept and complete Shadow Briefings in Fortnite

After finding any of the stations above, you will be able to accept its Shadow Briefing by simply interacting with it. Although their tasks will vary, all briefing types will follow the same pattern. You can check out how to complete each Shadow Briefing below:

  • Armory: By clearing a random task with a specific weapon type, such as dealing a set amount of damage. You will be provided with the weapon.
  • Supply Drop: By heading to a specified area and securing a supply drop.
  • Treasure: By heading to the specified areas and digging a treasure chest.
  • Vehicle: By driving a set distance. You will be provided with a car.

Now that you know the location of all Shadow Briefings in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, I also highly recommend that you check out how to talk to Captain Jones about the next steps.
