In the Covert Ops questline in Fortnite Chapter Three, season two, players will come across a series of quests that occur in the game’s new premier mode called Zero Build. There are many fun challenges to tackle in the Covert Ops quests in order to get the Secret Sledge pickaxe for free. Players will just need to complete all four tasks to claim their reward.
How to Get Compromised Intel from IO Outposts in Fortnite
Players will need to collect compromised intel from IO Outposts in order to complete the quest, but there are some things to keep in mind. You can only access each of the four Covert Ops quests on the completion of each one in order, while the event is live. This is for a limited time, so if you miss out on any of the quests, you will lose access to future ones.

To start the tasks, you will need to use the Zero Build mode and visit two of the five different IO Outposts from where you can collect compromised intel from. Here is the list of the locations:
- Between Greasy Grove and Synapse Station
- West of the Joneses’
- Between Sanctuary and Coney Crossroads
- East of Sleepy Sound
- Just outside of Logjam Lumberyard
There will be towers at the locations and the compromised intel will be lying near them, that resemble small black boxes. All you need to do is interact with them in order to collect one. Once you have visited two of these locations and collected the boxes, you can complete this Covert Ops Quest. You will receive 30,000 XP as a reward, and get closer to unlocking the free Secret Sledge pickaxe.
Make sure to finish this task before April 28 before the next stage of the Covert Ops Quests begin.
