Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1: How to Track Down and Complete Shadow Briefings
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 brings back Shadow Briefings with a retro job board look. Johnny Yu's guide on Polygon explains where to find these mini-challenges and how to complete Supply Drop and Plunder tasks for extra gold bars.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 is well underway, and if you have been wandering the island wondering where those familiar mini-challenges went, you are not alone. According to a detailed guide by Johnny Yu over at Polygon, Shadow Briefings have received a visual overhaul for the current season. Instead of the sleek briefcases from recent chapters, these dynamic side quests have reverted to their classic job board aesthetic from Chapter 4. Because of this nostalgic redesign, many players are walking right past them without realizing a quick influx of gold bars is sitting just out of reach.
To boost your gold reserves, you will want to know what to look for and where to drop. While spawn locations are randomized each match, you can dramatically improve your odds by focusing your early rotations on the southern half of the map or dropping near any gas station, which serves as a reliable spawn point. Once you locate a job board, interacting with it triggers a strict five-minute timer and assigns one of two distinct challenge types: Supply Drop or Plunder. Each type requires a slightly different approach, turning a routine match into a high-stakes scavenger hunt.
Handling these mini-challenges is straightforward once you know the routine. For Supply Drop briefings, the game marks an incoming crate on your map, and your best bet is to secure a vehicle and race across the terrain to interact with it before the timer expires. Plunder briefings are a bit more hands-on, tasking you with tracking down sparkling piles of dirt within designated search zones, cracking them open with your pickaxe, and unearthing hidden chests. Mastering these brief encounters is a great way to stock up on resources and currency for the matches ahead. You can read the original breakdown over at Polygon.
