Crack the code with Cipher Quests

A set of strange Cipher Quests has arrived in Fortnite. There are several unencrypted quests that are easy to complete, but you’ll need to use clues to figure out a set of mysterious encrypted quests.

By working your way through these Cipher Quests, you’ll be able to unlock a Keep The Peace Spray, an Order Up Loading Screen, a Deciphered Emoticon, and a Circuitry Wrap.

Six Shooter and Infantry Rifle have been unvaulted

To mark the arrival of the new season-ending Cipher Quests, two fan-favorite weapons have returned to the game: The Six Shooter and the Infantry Rifle.

These weapons are now part of the regular loot pool, which means you can find them on the ground, inside Chests, and from Supply Drops.

But lots of other weapons have been vaulted

Now that the Most Wanted event is over, the following weapons are being returned to the vault: Hand Cannon, Dual Pistols, Heavy Sniper, Suppressed Pistol, Hop Rock Dualies, and Boom Sniper Rifle.

All of the Heisted Exotics and two Augments (Exotic Grab Bag and Sniper Surplus) related to the event have been vaulted too, but the good news is that Motorboats and Bows are back in the game!
