How To Equip the Sensor Backpack and Scan Mysterious Energy Signatures in Fortnite Chapter 6

After a brief delay to complete the Outlaw Keycard Community Quest, Story Quests are back in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. However, they’ve stepped up their game, especially with Stage 4. Here's your guide to equipping the Sensor Backpack and scanning Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite*.

How To Find the Sensor Backpack in Fortnite

Stage 3 of the Wanted: Midas Quests requires you to open an Outlaw Chest, which you can only do after reaching Rare rarity with the Outlaw Keycard. This task is no small feat and might take a couple of hours as you'll need to rob vaults, take out guards, and spend a hefty amount of gold. Once you've successfully opened that chest, Stage 4 awaits, and it's quite the challenge.

*Fortnite* sends you on a quest to find the "Sensor Backpack," which isn't something you'll stumble upon in Chests or lying around. Instead, it's conveniently placed on the ground behind the wolf statue south of Crime City—the same spot where you can join the Secret Wolf Pack. If you're familiar with the area, getting there should be a breeze. Once you arrive, you'll see a case on the ground. Interact with it, and voila, the Sensor Backpack will replace your Back Bling.

With the Sensor Backpack now equipped, you're ready to hunt down the Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite*. There are three signatures to find, and they're not far from where you picked up the backpack. Simply head up the mountain, and you'll spot three areas marked with exclamation points. Approach the nearest one, and you'll see glowing strings of light. Interact with these to scan the signatures.

The signatures are close to each other, but you must interact with all three to complete the Sensor Backpack Quest and earn your XP. Stay alert, though, as other players will be tackling their Outlaw Quests at the same time and might not hesitate to send you back to the lobby. It's wise to gear up before heading to the mountain to be ready for any encounters.

Once you've completed the Sensor Backpack challenge, you can move on to Stage 5, which involves stealing a copy of the Mask-Making Book from the Mask Maker’s Hideout. If you manage your time well, you might be able to complete this in the same match, especially with the help of a vehicle.

And that's how you equip the Sensor Backpack and scan Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite* Chapter 6.

*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
