Fortnite has refreshed the wide array of SHADOW Briefings available for Chapter 5 Season 4, bringing a new Armory type and all-new locations to find them.
SHADOW Briefings were first introduced in Chapter 5 Season 2, and they’ve been a part of the Fortnite furniture ever since. They can be found all over the Battle Royale island during the Absolute Doom season, and there’s a brand-new Armory version this time around.
Each Briefing offers different services and is also vital for completing quests. Here’s every location where you can find SHADOW Briefings and the services they offer in Chapter 5 Season 4.

There are five types of SHADOW Briefings that each offer different challenges to complete in Fortnite to earn Gold Bars as your reward. Here are all the SHADOW Briefings and the types of challenges they set:
SHADOW Briefing | Challenge | Icon |
---|---|---|
Armory | Complete a task with one of four different weapons. | ![]() |
Bounty | Eliminate a designated enemy player within a time limit to earn a reward. | ![]() |
Plunder | Dig up buried rare chests at marked locations. | ![]() |
Supply Drop | Find and secure Supply Drop falling down at a marked location. | ![]() |
Vehicle | Drive a vehicle to a specified distance. | ![]() |
How to accept and complete a SHADOW Briefing
To accept a SHADOW briefing, simply land near any of the terminals on the map above and interact with it. Then a timer will begin requiring you to complete a specific task within that time. If you manage to do so, you’ll complete a SHADOW briefing.
The newly added Doom quests require you to complete two SHADOW briefings, which can easily be done if you land at a location with multiple terminals.
We’d advise you to choose the Supply Drop and Vehicle SHADOW briefing since both would require you to travel and it’s easier to drive between terminals rather than wait for an enemy to eliminate them with a weapon from the Armory.
