Fortnite is one of the most popular games out right now, mostly thanks to the constant updates that include new content and challenges to engage players. As part of the last update before the start of Chapter Four, season two, Epic Games has added a new list of quests called Cipher meant to reward players with experience.
Because some of the quests are encrypted, many players will likely be unsure of what they’re supposed to do. Fortunately, this guide will give you all the information you need about the Cipher quests in Fortnite.
What are the Cipher quests in Fortnite?
The quests are currently separated into two different sections, with one being the encrypted and the other being unencrypted quests.
The rewards shown in the image above are listed on the blog post following the update, and they include:
- Complete seven unencrypted Cipher quests – Keep the Peace spray
- Complete 15 unencrypted Cipher quests – Order Up loading screen
- Complete 24 unencrypted Cipher quests – Deciphered emoticon
- Complete 3 encrypted Cipher quests – Circuitry wrap
There isn’t a lot of time left in the season, so players who want to reach all of these goals will need to get started on them as soon as the quests launch. With only around a week left in the season, the list of things that need to be completed in the game seems to only be growing. Fortunately, most of the encrypted quests need to be completed once and the unencrypted have the same objectives.
Encrypted Cipher Quests
These are presented as a sequence of numbers, with players meant to crack the cipher to complete these quests for bonus experience. After using the same method as the data miner did with ChatGPT, it doesn’t appear that this test will be a simple substitution cipher like the tweet.
It likely won’t be long before the answers are discovered in the game and shared widely on social media.
- 1.17.23.9.14 19.19.24.1.21.6 – Complete one of these
- 19.19.19.1.27. 1.22 22.16.16.10.20.21 2.17.26.12 – Complete one of these
- Complete Cipher Encrypted Quest One
- 12.18.14.4.13.25. 14.4.2.22 – Complete one of these
- 19.11.2.20.22.5.20.8.4 22.13.1.4.19 – Complete one of these
- 12.18.15.5.14.25 14.4.2.22 – Complete one of these
- 19.11.2.20.22.5.20.8.4 22.13.1.4.19 – Complete one of these
There may be a method to solving these quests on the island, as it seems unlikely that Epic Games would provide a difficult cipher without some clue in the game of how to solve it. In addition to the encrypted quests, there also appears to be some unencrypted quests that offer the standard experience reward.
Unencrypted Cipher Quests
There are a number of Cipher quests to complete, with certain milestones granting small cosmetic rewards like the emoticon, spray, and loading screen shown above. Players will need to complete a considerable number of these objectives to get the rewards, with only a week left in the season.
