How to open Academy Tech Labs locked doors in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3

By Ambar Jimenez | 2025-07-02 23:40:25
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 introduces exciting new mechanics, including Hero Ranks, superhero-themed locations, and Sprites. One of the key highlights is Supernova Academy, where players can find locked tech lab doors hiding valuable Hero Caches. But how do you open them?
In this guide, we’ll explain where to find these labs, how to unlock their doors, and the best ways to increase your Hero Rank to access exclusive rewards.

Where to Find Academy Tech Labs in Fortnite


To complete the "Open Locked Doors in Academy Tech Labs While at Hero Rank A or Above" Kickstart quest, you’ll need to locate the tech labs. There are two main ways to do this:
  • Visit Supernova Academy – Head to the southeast wing’s basement to find multiple locked doors.
  • Explore Other Labs Across the Map – Some smaller tech labs are scattered around the island, each with rank-restricted doors.

  • Once you find a lab, approach the doors—if the rank indicator is green, you can open it. If not, you’ll need to level up your Hero Rank first.

    How to Open Supernova Academy’s Tech Lab Doors


    Not all doors require the same rank—some open at Rank C, while others demand Rank A or higher. To progress in Power Training Kickstart quests, you’ll specifically need A-Rank access.

    What’s Inside the Tech Labs?


    Once unlocked, these labs offer:


    • Hero Caches (containing powerful loot)
    • Epic and Legendary gear
    • Hologram shops with exclusive upgrades


    The higher your Hero Rank, the better the rewards—so aim for A-Rank or higher for the best loot.

    How to Increase Your Hero Rank in Fortnite


    Your Hero Rank resets every match, so you’ll need to level it up each game. Here’s how to rank up quickly:


    Eliminate Other Players – Defeating opponents grants Hero XP.

    Take Down Demon Henchmen – These NPC enemies provide a rank boost.

    Return Sprites to Their Shrines – A key way to earn Hero XP fast.

    Survive Storm Circles – Staying alive longer increases your rank.


    The more of these actions you complete, the faster you’ll reach Rank A and unlock those high-tier tech lab doors.

    Final Tips for Unlocking Tech Labs


    • Land at Supernova Academy early to secure loot before enemies.
    • Focus on Sprite Quests—they’re one of the fastest ways to rank up.
    • Check door indicators—green means you can enter, red means you need a higher rank.
    • Squad up—teammates can help you eliminate enemies and survive longer.


    By following these steps, you’ll unlock Fortnite’s tech labs, claim powerful Hero Caches, and dominate Chapter 6 Season 3 like a true superhero!
