Fortnite: how to find and accept Shadow Briefings in Chapter 5 Season 2
Among the many new features and changes in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, there was one that the team behind Fortnite kept very quiet about, and that’s Shadow Briefings. A continuation of last season’s underground theme, Shadow Briefings allow you to earn Bars mid-match by completing a randomly generated mini-challenge.
We’ll explain where to get these Shadow Briefings in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 and how to complete them.

With this map, Reckless Railways or Restored Reels are the best locations to visit if you want to get a Briefing.

Each Briefing will ask you to do a random task depending on what type of briefing it is. There are four possible types of briefing:
- Bounty Shadow Briefings – Like Bounty Boards, these will task you with eliminating a specific target within a time limit.
- Supply Shadow Briefings – These will spawn a supply drop nearby that you must loot within a time limit. These are great for getting good weapons, although they will attract opponents.
- Treasure Shadow Briefings – These mark two areas where a treasure can be found, you must uncover them within the time limit.
- Vehicle Shadow Briefings – A vehicle will be spawned nearby and you must drive it a set distance within a time limit.
