How to scan Mysterious Energy Signatures with the backpack in Fortnite

In Fortnite, after proving to Midas and the other outlaws that you’re trustworthy, Midas will task you with scanning mysterious energy signatures with a special backpack. What is this backpack? What are mysterious energy signatures? This season’s events raise many questions, and we’ve got the answers you’re looking for.

How to scan mysterious energy signatures in Fortnite

You’ll initially find the sensor backpack for scanning mysterious energy signatures just south of Crime City and north of Canyon Crossing. As you approach the marked spot on your map, you’ll find a small building with a blue crate containing your sensor backpack. Interact with this crate to receive your backpack.

After equipping the backpack, head to the three nearby map markers to find blue swirling energy. The right-most one is easy to find, while the left one sits on a ruined dragon formation. The third and final one is the trickiest to find, as it’s situated in front of the paw of a wolf statue you use to complete the Join the Wolf Pack secret quest.

From here, you can scan each signature by running up to them and interacting with them. You don’t need any weapons, but having one will help you defend against other players completing this quest. Once you interact with all three energy signatures, you’ll complete this scanning mission and move on to Midas’ fifth stage. This fifth stage is also straightforward, but you’ll need to travel down to Masked Meadows for it.
