How to download parts of Paradigm’s encrypted message from Data Beacons in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

After the drama of the breaking event, there were many questions about Fortnite’s lore. Players have witnessed the arrival of a brand new island, but the protagonist, Paradigm, has now disappeared without a trace – and many are wondering if she survived the event. In Chapter 4 Season 1’s Oathbound quest line, players must discover parts of the character’s last message and figure out what it was intended to send. Here is how to complete this Oathbound quest and solve Paradigm disappearance in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

Where can I find data beacons in Fortnite’s Oathbound quest line?

In order to download Paradigm’s message and complete the quest, you must find three of the eight data beacons scattered across the map. Though these interactive destinations, as small as they are, are certainly not easy to find. Luckily, there are at least two beacons in each biome, so the quest can be completed in just one Battle Royale match. Below you will find all database locations marked and listed.

• East of Breakwater Bay, within the Woodsy Ward landmark
• Inside Cold Cavern Mountain, northwest of Brutal Bastion
• On the north side of the Castle of the Citadel
• In the eastern part of Anvil Square
• West of Slappy Shores
• On the east side of Faulty Splits, near the road
• In the center of Frenzy Fields
• In the center of Shattered Slabs

Once you’ve interacted with three beacons, the quest should reward you with 20,000 additional XP for your seasonal level. Aime will then bestow another mission that requires you to decode the message either in The Citadel, Brutal Bastion, or east of Shattered Slabs. However, players making their way to the Citadel may wish to carry a weapon with them. The POI is held down by the game’s lone boss, The Ageless Champion, who can be defeated for a chance to obtain a Mythic Ex-Caliber rifle.
