By Ambar Jimenez | 2025-08-14 08:42:26
In Fortnite's ever-evolving landscape, players are always on the lookout for new ways to gain an edge. In Chapter Six, Season Four, this comes in the form of SHADOW Briefings, special missions scattered across the island that reward you with valuable loot and experience. These tasks are essential for players aiming to complete their battle pass or simply secure better gear. However, since these briefings spawn randomly and are not marked on the map from the start, knowing all possible locations is the key to completing them efficiently.This detailed guide will reveal every possible SHADOW Briefing location and explain the different types of missions you'll encounter.

Every SHADOW Briefing Location in Chapter Six, Season Four

There are 25 potential SHADOW Briefing spawn points on the island, but only a handful will be active during any given match. You'll need to check these locations yourself to see which ones are available. Here is a comprehensive list of all possible spots:
  • West of Resistance Base
  • Slightly south of Resistance Base
  • North of Resistance Base
  • North of Shiny Shafts
  • At Shiny Shafts
  • Near the northern end of The Hive
  • Northeast of Resistance Base
  • Near the west end of Supernova Academy
  • North of Supernova Academy, near the very northern edge of the island
  • West of First Order Base
  • East of Supernova Academy (two can be found here)
  • Near the south end of Swarmy Stash
  • At OXR HQ
  • Near the north end of Shining Span
  • At Utopia City
  • Near the south end of Kappa Kappa Factory
  • South of Outpost Enclave
  • At Demon’s Debris
  • Near the south end of Canyon Crossing
  • At Shogun’s Solitude
  • Southwest of Outlaw Oasis
  • South of Outlaw Oasis
  • North of Ranger’s Ruin
  • On the bridge overlooking Foxy Floodgate

Types of SHADOW Briefings

When you activate a SHADOW Briefing, you'll be assigned one of threepossible mission types. Each type presents a different challenge andrequires a specific approach.

  • Plunder: This mission asks you to find and open two buried treasure chests. The chests aremarked on your map with a yellow circle, and you have five minutes tocomplete the task. This is one of the easier briefing types, as itdoesn't involve direct combat.
  • Armory: This questrequires you to locate and open a supply drop that spawns nearby. Thedrop is marked on your map, and you have five minutes to get to it. Like Plunder, this is a relatively safe and straightforward way to securegood loot.
  • Supply Drop: For this briefing, you'llreceive a specific weapon and a mission to deal a certain amount ofdamage to other players with it. The mission has a five-minute timelimit and may include additional modifiers, such as requiring damagefrom a specific range or angle. This is the most combat-focused of thethree types and comes with the highest risk.

How to Complete a SHADOW Briefing

Completing a SHADOW Briefing is a two-step process: you must find and activate the briefing, then complete the assigned task within the five-minute timelimit.

  • Find and Activate: Once you locate an active briefing machine, simply interact with it to begin the mission.
  • Complete the Task: Depending on the mission type, your objective will be marked on your map. You have a strict five-minute timer, so act quickly.
  • If you are on a quest that requires you to complete multiple SHADOW Briefings, it's highly recommended to prioritize the Plunder or Armory missions. They are generally the fastest and safest to complete, asthey don't force you into a risky player-versus-player encounter. Saving the Supply Drop quests for a moment when you're well-equipped and ready for a fight is a smarter strategy.
