Where to find IO Guards in Fortnite: spawn location guide Epic GamesOne of the biggest requirements for Fortnite\u2019s Week 5 challenges is to eliminate 50 IO Guards, but we\u2019ve got a map that makes things so much easier. Fortnite\u2019s Season 5 update brought with it plenty of well-received additions including a map overhaul, a string of new exotic weapons, and skins based on iconic characters from God of War, Halo and The Walking Dead. One new feature that hasn\u2019t gone down so well, though, is the arrival of IO Guards on the map. The frustrating NPC enemies will relentlessly hunt down the player if spotted \u2013 and they always seem to appear at the worst possible time. The main reward for taking the high-powered enemies down is a Tactical Assault Rifle, meaning it\u2019s not usually worth the ammo, time, and healing items you\u2019ll need to burn through to defeat them all. While players usually do their best to avoid IO Guards where possible, they\u2019ll have to actively hunt them down if they want to complete Season 5\u2019s Week 5 challenges. Yes, it\u2019s going to be a tough one. Where to find IO Guards in Fortnite Season 5 This week\u2019s Legendary quest requires you to take down the powerful IO Guards, with a grand total of 50 to eliminate if you want to finish it completely. The reward for doing so is a big one: 55,000 XP. Fortunately, the IO Guards rise up out of the ground from their terminals in set locations, meaning you can find them \u2013 or avoid them \u2013 quite easily, as long as you know where they spawn each match. You can see all 20 locations where IO Guards appear on the map below: IO Guards can be very difficult to take down, and there\u2019ll be a few of them in each terminal, so you\u2019ll want to make sure you come prepared with decent weapons and some Shield Potions or Medkits. A good tactic is to take them down from as far away as you can, as their aim isn\u2019t always the best at a distance. For this, you\u2019ll want a long-range weapon like an Assault Rifle or Sniper Rifle. It\u2019s also worth pointing out that the terminals don\u2019t always deliver IO Guards \u2013 sometimes, they feature loot instead. While this would normally be a blessing, it can be frustrating when you\u2019re actually hoping for enemies to appear. If you\u2019re looking to complete the rest of the week\u2019s quests, make sure you check out our Fortnite Season 5 Week 5 Challenges hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
