There are now Shadow Briefings. This is a very funny word game because there are literally giant briefcases to interact with. There are four in total on the map; this is how to find them, and they work.

These literal giant briefcases can give you two kinds of missions to complete. First, as a replacement for the Bounty Board, you can be given a target to eliminate within a limited time. You could also get the supply drop rescue; you have to open the crate before any other player can complete this mission.

This Shadow Briefing is pretty different from the bounty boards; in the first place, you don’t have as many of the bounty boards all over the map. There are only 4 Shadow Briefings on the map, and you can use them as bounty boards as many times as you want after you complete or fail the missions. 

The main goal of this new mechanic is to gain a little more XP or even good loot, especially with the supply drop that you can open. The 100 bars that you get for eliminating your target are also a good reward.

A new way to do an old but not very useful thing in Fortnite

Reckless Railways. This will reduce a lot of the possibilities of making this kind of mission, but again, it is not so important or gives that much experience; the supply drop is the most useful, especially for the possibilities of great loot. After that, it is just for fun or to make some bars for mods and buy shields or healing items.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 brought a lot of changes, like a new map, several new places, and numerous new weapons. But the most critical additions are the two new powers from the gods, the Icarus Wings and the Zeus Thunderbolts, that can make a real difference in battle. 

Tell us what you think about the Shadow Briefings.
