Shadow Briefings are challenges that can be found around the map in Fortnite.
There are three different types of Shadow Briefings — Hunter, Plunder, and Supply Drop. Each of the briefings will provide you with a variety of rewards as long as you can complete their challenge within a five minute window.
However, Shadow Briefings aren’t the easiest objective to find. Luckily, they always spawn in the same location, so as long as you know where they are, you can grab some easy loot.
Here’s where every Shadow Briefing is located in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 and how to complete them.
All Shadow Briefing locations in Fortnite
Shadow Briefings have a chance to spawn in any of the 24 locations marked on the map above in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4.
To easily spot a Shadow Briefing, look out for a laptop icon on your map or minimap. The laptop icon will appear when you’re in the vicinity of a Shadow Briefing, so you’ll know when you’re nearby. As you’re approaching a Shadow Briefing, you’ll notice a different icon above it and on the screen. These icons are associated with the Shadow Briefing’s objective. There are three different icons:
- Radar — Hunter
- Treasure map — Plunder
- Parachuting crate — Supply Drop
Check out the map above or list below to see where every Shadow Briefing is located.
