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.
