Fortnite Wiretaps are the focal point of the Week 8 Legendary Quests this season, which have us working for Doctor Sloan. This is one of the more difficult quests this week because it requires us to plant Fortnite Wiretaps at specific locations around the map.

The premise of this quest is that Doctor Sloan has suspicions of a mole within the Imagined Order (IO). To find the truth, Sloan wants you to set up wiretaps at different key locations around the Fortnite island.

There are four points of interest (POIs) on the island where players can go to plant wiretaps in Fortnite. Within each of those five POIs are three locations where the wiretaps can be set up. So all in all, there are 15 spots where players can place a wiretap. 

This challenge requires the player to plant a mere three wiretaps total. This means that challenge hunters can get this entire Legendary Quest done by visiting just one of these POIs.

The POIs that contain wiretap blueprints include:

  1. Lazy Lake
  2. Defiant Dish
  3. Dockside Dish
  4. Dinky Dish

The POI you choose to visit is your personal choice. We recommend checking out where other players are heading and travelling to the POI that looks the least contested. This way, you’ll avoid enemy players and be free to plant the Fortnite Wiretaps in peace.

The specific locations of each wiretap blueprint at all five POIs are as follows:

Lazy Lake
