Where to find a Shadow Briefing in Fortnite
In the current Chapter 5 Season 4 map, there are three locations where you'll find Shadow Briefings in every match.
- The Raft in the southwest
- Doomstadt up north
- Castle Doom in the northeast
This is where you'll find Shadow Briefings
Once you land in these areas, the Shadow Briefing locations will appear on your map. They are easy to spot due to a large logo featuring multiple items such as weapons or supply crates.
Do note that more Shadow Briefings will spawn around the map each match but the locations are randomized.
How to complete a Shadow Briefing in Fortnite
Now that you know where to find the Shadow Briefings, it's time to know how to complete them. Depending on which Shadow Briefing you pick up, your objectives will be different.
During Chapter 5 Season 4, there are three types of Shadow Briefing:
- Plunder: Search or break open the buried rare chests
- Supply Drop: Search the supply drop that will spawn nearby
Finally, the Armory Shadow Briefing has different objectives based on different weapons. Completing an objective will remove those weapons from the terminal, however, you'll be able to pick up the remaining briefings:
- Grants an Uncommon shotgun/SMG. Damage enemy players within 15 meters to earn gold bars
- Grants an Uncommon assault rifle. Damage enemy players beyond 30 meters to earn gold bars
- Grants an Uncommon pistol/assault rifle. Damage enemy players while aiming down sights meters to earn gold bars
