Fortnite Season 7\u2019s latest update, v17.30, introduced a bunch of new features like the Grab-Itron weapon and prepared the game for the upcoming Ariana Grande concert. It also saw a bunch of billboards pop up around the Island. While these billboards seem innocent enough at first, appearing to simply advertise Mewoscle\u2019s Morsels cat food, they actually hide an extraterrestrial secret. When players get close enough, the message \u2018SUBMIT\u2019 appears in big letters. In order to stop the aliens in their tracks, Doctor Slone has ordered players to find and equip a Detector and then disable the Alien Billboards as part of the Week 9 set of Legendary challenges. Below, you\u2019ll find a guide to do just that. Where to find and equip a Detector in Fortnite There are seven Billboard locations across the Island where you can find and equip a Detector in Fortnite: Believer Beach &#8211; Boney Burbs &#8211; Craggy Cliffs &#8211; Lazy Lake &#8211; Misty Meadows &#8211; Pleasant Park &#8211; Retail Row &#8211; For this guide, though, we\u2019re going to focus on Misty Meadows. In order to find the Detector here, you\u2019ll need to head to the water fountain, which is on the east side of the Misty Meadows bridge. It\u2019s hard to miss. When you get to the water fountain, you\u2019ll see a black crate next to it. This contains the Detector. Simply interact with the crate and you\u2019ll be able to equip the Detector and move onto the next stage of the quest. How to disable an Alien Billboard in Fortnite Once you\u2019ve equipped a Detector, it\u2019s time to disable that Alien Billboard and put a stop to the invaders\u2019 plans. The Alien Billboard at Misty Meadows is just up the hill from the water fountain where you found the Detector. When you approach the Alien Billboard, the Meowscles\u2019 Morsels advertisement will turn into the ominous \u2018SUBMIT\u2019 message. Simply interact with the billboard to disable it and stop the aliens from spreading their message. The map below will help you locate both the Detector and the Alien Billboard at Misty Meadows if you\u2019re struggling to find them: You\u2019ll need to find the Detector and disable the Alien Billboard in the same match or it won\u2019t count. This makes it a treacherous quest to complete, especially as the Billboards are all in areas with high footfall. We\u2019d recommend leaving the Battle Bus and heading straight to the location above, quickly completing the challenge before you get eliminated by any enemy players, and then leaving to stock up on weapons.
