How to start and complete a vehicle SHADOW briefing in Fortnite

What is a vehicle SHADOW briefing in Fortnite?

Vehicle SHADOW briefings are similar to regular SHADOW briefings, but they require you to complete them using a specific vehicle. The tasks usually involve driving a short distance with a particular vehicle.

Once you accept a vehicle SHADOW briefing, a car will drop from a nearby rift, and you’ll have a simple mission to accomplish. The catch is that you must complete the task using that specific vehicle. Even if there is no challenge tied to them, these tasks are worthwhile as they allow you to earn Gold with minimal effort.

Vehicle SHADOW briefings may seem straightforward, but the challenge lies in actually finding them.

Vehicle SHADOW briefings, along with other SHADOW briefings, do not appear on the map, so you’ll need to search for them. These briefings are typically found near a few bollards on the roadside, which you can spot while driving around the map.

Most players tend to find the briefings on the roads just north of Restored Reels, but they can also be found in other locations.

Once you locate a briefing station, interact with it, and wait for the vehicle to spawn. The best part is that you get to keep the car after completing the challenge, making these tasks a great way to obtain a vehicle when needed. Some cars may even come with vehicle mods preinstalled, making them even more valuable in Chapter 5, Season 3.
