Fortnite challenge guide: Destroy IO intel

By

Fortnite season 7, week 13 is here, and with it comes a brand new set of challenges for you to complete. This week’s challenges are slightly more complicated than you might be used to, though they aren’t exactly difficult to get through. One of the new challenges requires you to destroy IO intel, which only appears at a certain location on the map. Since you can only complete this challenge by visiting this spot, you’re unlikely to complete this one naturally unless you like landing by Corny Complex. Since it’s out of the way, you’ll probably have to intentionally head to this location to get through the challenge.

In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about completing the latest challenge. Here’s how to destroy IO intel in Fortnite.

Where to find IO intel

Fortnite.gg

The IO intel is found inside a camper to the northeast of Corny Complex. It’s just by the winding river that leads to Steamy Stacks. As with most challenges, we recommend landing nearby to grab some gear first so you’re prepared, just in case you come across an enemy player. It won’t do you any good to get taken out before you can destroy the IO intel. And along with that, we recommend attempting this in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you’re eliminated before you can destroy the IO intel. It also helps to bring a couple of teammates with you to watch your back. Though, from our experience, we didn’t encounter any other players in this area, so you should be relatively safe if you go there with weapons and gear. Just make sure you scope out the place before charging right in.

It’s worth mentioning that you must first complete the other prerequisites before being able to finish this challenge. This includes the challenge of repairing IO equipment and for building structures at Corny Complex. Once you complete both of those (in order), you’ll be able to start this one. If you attempt to visit this location before you’ve completed the aforementioned challenges, the IO intel will not appear.

Thankfully, it’s not too difficult to quickly stop by the camper and destroy the IO intel.

Once you’ve arrived and the coast is clear, simply walk inside the camper and you’ll see the intel on the ground on the right. To destroy it, all you need to do is press and hold Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, and Y on Nintendo Switch. After you’ve destroyed it, you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge, along with 30,000 XP for your troubles.

Unicorn Overlord romance guide: all characters you can marry

For whatever reason, romance and marriage have become one of the most essential parts of tactics games such as Unicorn Overlord. Just like combat, however, each game handles the relationship system a little bit differently. It might seem straightforward here, but there is an extra step or two needed to fully commit and marry one of your companions. Aside from just building a strong bond with your favorite character, there are a lot of benefits to improving your relationships. Here's a full tactical rundown of how romance works here so you can form an everlasting bond.
How romance works

The core of how romance works in Unicorn Overlord is all about Rapport. This represents your relationship with each character, can be built in a number of ways, and is the first and biggest step toward marriage. The simplest, but least efficient, way to build up your relationships is to fight in the same unit as the character you're interested in. Win or lose, you will boost your Rapport at the end of each encounter.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 5, Season 2)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're an expert player, your likelihood of coming out on top is greatly diminished if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be at a barren location with no loot or a hot drop that could lead to a swift death.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, there's no shortage of fantastic landing spots, but which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for veterans, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list of the best places to land in Fortnite, it's important to be aware of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any place with decent loot might serve you well, but there's more to consider than that. Does a spot have a consistent chest/loot spawn? Are there guaranteed materials? Is it close to other places of interest (POI)s? Is it out of the way? Of course, loot is the most important aspect, but it does you no good to have a stacked loadout if you're stuck in the storm. These recommended landing spots all have some degree of consistency and fantastic loot. they also typically have some quirk that makes them effective depending on your playstyle.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.
