Fortnite Chapter 6: Equip Sensor Backpack to Scan Mysterious Energy Signatures

by Nicholas May 26,2025

After a short pause to wrap up the Outlaw Keycard Community Quest, the narrative-driven Story Quests are back in full swing in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. Brace yourself, though—Stage 4 is a challenging one, requiring you to equip the Sensor Backpack and scan Mysterious Energy Signatures. Here's your guide to conquering this quest.

How To Find the Sensor Backpack in Fortnite

Stage 3 of the Wanted: Midas Quests sets you the task of opening an Outlaw Chest, which involves elevating the Outlaw Keycard to Rare rarity. This might take you a few hours, as you'll be busy robbing vaults, taking down guards, and spending a fortune in gold. Once you've managed to unlock that chest, you'll be ready to tackle Stage 4.

In *Fortnite*, your mission is to locate the "Sensor Backpack," which isn't found in typical Chests or scattered on the ground. Instead, it's waiting for you behind the wolf statue south of Crime City, the same spot where you can join the Secret Wolf Pack. Many players will recognize this area. When you reach the location, you'll find a case on the ground that you can interact with. Simply engage with it, and the Sensor Backpack will replace your Back Bling.

With the Sensor Backpack now equipped, your next task is to track down the Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite*. There are three of these signatures, conveniently located near the spot where you picked up the backpack. Head up the nearby mountain, and you'll spot three areas marked with exclamation points. Approach the nearest one, and you'll see glowing strings of light. Interact with these to scan the signatures.

The three signatures are close to each other, but you must interact with all of them to complete the Sensor Backpack Quest and earn your XP. Stay vigilant, as other players will likely be working on their Outlaw Quests simultaneously and might not hesitate to eliminate you. It's wise to gear up before heading to the mountain to be fully prepared for any encounters.

Once you've successfully completed the Sensor Backpack challenge, you can move on to Stage 5, which involves stealing a copy of the Mask-Making Book from the Mask Maker’s Hideout. If you manage your time effectively, you should be able to complete this task in the same match, especially with the help of a vehicle.

That's everything you need to know about equipping the Sensor Backpack and scanning Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. Now, go out there and conquer those quests!

*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
