Get ready to dive deep into the Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quests—where victories aren't just won by building structures or taking down opponents but by unlocking the secrets of encrypted codes.

A virtual world teeming with quests, experiences, and rewards… Exciting, right? But here's the twist—these rewards are locked behind codes that require more than just quick reflexes. Don’t worry; our step-by-step guide will give you what you need to complete Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quests.

Understanding the Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quests

The journey begins with a clue hidden in a tweet from the Fortnite Status Twitter account. This tweet presents a sequence of seemingly random numbers: "3 18 1 3 11 20 8 5 3 15 4 5." Deciphering these numbers reveals the message "Crack the code." This is a vital hint, indicating that players must apply the same decryption process to the quest names.
 

To do this, locate the looping sequence found in the quest message (0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3) and subtract these numbers from the corresponding numbers in each quest name sequence. The result will be a new set of numbers, which can then be translated into letters using the alphabet. The Encrypted Cipher quests in Fortnite are structured into three stages, including:

  • Anvil Square
  • Spray at Splits Bowl & Lonely Labs
  • Shattered Slabs

Accumulate XP as you successfully navigate through individual Cipher Quests. As you achieve specific milestones in completing Cipher Quests, you'll gain access to exciting new items that will enhance your Locker collection, including:
