What are SHADOW Briefings in Fortnite?
Think of SHADOW Briefings as mission terminals scattered across the Fortnite map. Interact with one, and you’ll be presented with a variety of covert tasks to complete. These missions fall into four categories, each assigned through a specific terminal type:
- Bounty: Hunt down a specific player within a time limit, similar to the classic Bounty Board.
- Treasure: Embark on a treasure hunt to uncover hidden loot before the timer runs out.
- Supply Drop: Mark a location for a valuable Supply Drop filled with top-tier weapons and consumables.
