Fortnite - Radar dish locations: How to shut down power to radar dishes explained

Just doing a bit of maintenance…

Shutting down power to radar dishes is part of the Week 14 legendary quests in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, which, if you want the XP, must be completed before the end of the season.

This legendary quest set begins with collecting instructions from Slone from a payphone, warning three characters - any character - of impending doom and placing warning signs.

Completing this challenge will reward you with 30k XP, which will help you unlock more Battle Stars for the Season 7 Battle Pass. You'll also be able to complete the next legendary quest - spoil the Mole's sabotage attempt.


Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Grind Rails and Kinetic Blades, along with the new Battle Pass, character collection and Eren Jaeger skin. It's a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.

Radar dishes locations in Fortnite explained

You need to shut down two of the seven radar dishes located on the Fortnite map and each radar dish can be found within the IO bases.

Once you've decided which bases you wish to visit for this legendary quest, you need to head to the base of the radar dish. There you'll find a small power box, which, once interacted with, will shut down the power for that radar dish.

Interact with the power boxes at the bottom of the radar dishes.

Remember - you need to shut down the power for two radar dishes to complete this challenge, which means you need to visit two IO bases. For this reason, if you want to complete this quest in one match, it's a good idea to visit the Weeping Woods and Slurpy Swamp bases, since they're close to each other.
