How to Collect an IO Access Card from an IO Guard in Fortnite

To collect an IO Access Card, you’ll need to down an IO Guard. IO Guards can be found dotted around the map, but the easiest place to find them is at Corny Complex and the underground base that lies beneath it.

When you first land here, you should find some IO Guards wandering around the main house and the red barn building. Simply land, pick up a weapon and hunt down an IO Guard.

Once you’ve done this, the IO Guard should drop the IO Access Card. Simply run over to it and press and hold X/ Y/ Square/ E to pick it up.

It’s worth pointing out that you don’t actually have to kill an IO Guard. Once you’ve downed them, they’ll drop their access card, leaving you to run in and sweep it up.
