Fortnite challenge guide: Repair IO equipment

Joseph Yaden
By

The next set of Fortnite challenges are ready for you to complete, this time for season 7, week 13. The new challenges are a bit more in depth than you might be used to, but they aren’t necessarily difficult. Though, you likely won’t make progress towards many of them unless you intentionally do so, which means you’ll need to put forth more effort than usual. One of the first ones you’ll likely need help with requires you to repair IO equipment.

These are items found around the map at fixed locations and are typically difficult to get to, due to the overabundance of enemy A.I. around them. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you need to know about completing this new challenge. Here’s how to repair IO equipment in Fortnite.

Map of IO equipment locations in Fortnite.
Fortnite.gg

There are three IO stations around the map that contain IO equipment. The map above shows all of their locations (thanks, Fortnite.gg). There’s one at Stealthy Stronghold, one in between Craggy Cliffs and Steamy Stacks, and the last one is south of Misty Meadows by the mountains. To complete this challenge, you need to visit one of these locations to repair two pieces of IO equipment. The locations have multiple pieces of equipment, meaning you should only need to visit one station to complete the challenge.

As always, we advise visiting a location that’s out of the way of the Battle Bus so you’re less likely to come across other players. Each IO station has enemy A.I. that will attempt to take you out so we advise coming with a team so they can watch your back. And as usual, it’s recommended to attempt this in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you’re eliminated.

Once you land, we advise grabbing some gear so you’re prepared to defend yourself if need be. Shields, weapons, and ammo are always good to have at all times. From here, you’re looking for a set of monitors on wheels as pictured above. These are scattered around each base, so do your best to look out for the glowing indicator. Approach and then press Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, and Y on Nintendo Switch to repair the equipment.

Once you’ve repaired two of them, you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge, along with 30,000 XP. One thing to note is that if you only manage to repair one piece of equipment in a match, you can simply attempt it again in a separate match to repair the last one since your progress carries over.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Finish the Masterwork Weapon guide
A sword being forged in blue fire.

Just about everywhere you go in Baldur's Gate 3 will lead you to something interesting. Usually, that thing results in a side quest, quickly filling up your journal and threatening to send you off on dozens of hours' worth of adventures and tasks before getting back to the main quest. Some are more basic and can be done quickly, but the "Finish the Masterwork Weapon" quest is sure to grab your attention. After all, a Masterwork weapon has to be worth the effort, right? We'll leave the result up to you, but there's no denying that this quest will take a lot of work to beat. This is one of the more ambiguous quests in the game, especially in terms of where to find specific materials, so let us give you the blueprints on how to complete this quest in Baldur's Gate 3.
Starting the Finish the Masterwork Weapon quest

If you didn't naturally come across this quest in Baldur's Gate 3, you will need to travel to the Blighted Village and go to the building north of the fast travel point and east of the windmill. It will be marked as Shabby Wooden Doors. Inside, look for the item called "Highcliff's Journal" next to the fireplace and give it a read. This will kick off the "Finish the Masterwork Weapon" quest.
