"Hack IO Loudspeakers" is the Stage 2 challenge in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 of the Week 7 Quest from Jones. Rewarding participants with 23,000 XP for completion, this seasonal quest tasks players with locating and hacking the electrical fuse boxes of three IO Loudspeakers scattered across Battle Royale Island. One of these three locations is established within red IO-controlled territory, while the other two are in open areas that do not have much cover. Therefore, combatants will need to be careful of hostile armed mobs and other players while completing this Fortnite quest.
To hack an IO Loudspeaker in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, simply approach the electrical box at the base of the speaker's pole and hold the indicated interact button until the Jones's whimsical dialogue triggers. After completing one part of the task, Battle royale combatants are recommended not to stay in the area too long as they might be vulnerable to a stealth attack or ambush from other PvPers. On the other hand, those who are only on the Fortnite Island Map scouring for the Loudspeakers will likely not worry too much about a premature demise.
The first hackable IO Loudspeaker location in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 can be found in the southeastern section of Command Cavern, near Gunnar's position. Players looking for extra loot in the area can defeat Gunnar to acquire his Key Card, granting combatants access to the underground Vault below the base camp.
Where To Find IO Loudspeakers in Fortnite
The second loudspeaker is located at the remains of Outpost Omega, east of Logjam Lumberyard. The quest interactable will be sitting nearby a pile of rubble. Be wary as there's very little combative cover in this, excluding what's left of the outpost and several Timber Pine trees in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
The third and final IO Loudspeaker location is Outpost Dash, a camp ruin in the far northwest of the Island Map, near the minor Landmark, Unremarkable House. The loudspeaker pole can be found in the eastern corner of the barbed wire walls at the base of the lookout tower remains. Interacting with this object will complete the quest and reward players with the 23,000 XP. This earned XP can be used to unlock the New Super Style Skins for those participating in the season's Battle Pass. Keep in mind that these special rewards are for participants who go above and beyond the normal unlocks below Level 100.
Fortnite is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
