Fortnite has opened up one last questline before the end of its Chapter Season 1 for players to earn a little extra XP and some cosmetics. The questline is called Cipher Quests and offers a few unconventional missions alongside some of the regular challenges that are similar to the weekly quests. These specific missions require to crack coordinates, but thankfully they all follow the same key. Here is how to solve Encrypted Quest codes in Fortnite.
How to Solve Encrypted Quest Codes in Fortnite
Encrypted Quests are similar to other quests in that they require you to visit a specific location on the Fortnite map, and either interact with an object or perform a certain action. The difference is that the meaning for each quest is hidden behind a string of numbers.
These numbers actually translate to a message on how to complete the objective. The key to translating the string of numbers was found in the teaser prior to the event, and all codes so far have followed the same method with an extra step.
The method is to pair the numbers with the corresponding letters of the alphabet. That means 1=A, 2=B, and so on until 26=Z. Although, you first have to minus the repeating code of 0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3, found in-game on the Cipher Quest menu, from each of the numbers before translating.
For example, the first Encrypted Quest gives this code: 1.17.23.9.14 19.19.24.1.21.6. You have to minus each number using the repeating code, so:
- 1-0=1 (A)
- 17-3=14 (N)
- 23-1=22 (V)
- 9-0=9 (I)
- 14-2=12 (L)
- 19-0=19 (S)
- 19-2=17 (Q)
- 24-3=21 (U)
- 1-0=1 (A)
- 21-3=18 (R)
- 6-1=5 (E)
The first stage answer would be found at Anvil Square. The second stage of the quest follows the same key. The code 19.19.19.1.27. 1.22. 22.16.15.10.20.21. 2.17.26.12. can be translated to “Spray at Splits Bowl”, which is the bowling alley found in Faulty Splits.
That is how to solve Encrypted Quest codes in Fortnite. Be sure to check out how to solve all of the Fortnite Cipher Quests and the full list of rewards that come with completing them.
