How to decode encrypted Cipher Quests in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

If we take an example from the official post made by Fortnite where they introduced the event, they used the number “3 18 1 3 11 20 8 5 3 15 4 5” which if compared to their alphabetical counterpart according to the number translates into “CRACK THE CODE”, which means 1=A, 2=B and so on. 

Now for the actual Cipher Quests, a bit of complexity has been added by offsetting the actual number by the digits 0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3, a code shared by Fortnite itself prior to the event to subtract from the code provided for the quests and then convert the answer to their alphabetical counterparts. For example, when 1.17.23.9.14. 19.19.24.1.21.6 is subtracted using the code provided earlier, it will look similar to the following: 

  • 1-0=1 which equals A
  • 17-3=14 which equals N
  • 23-1=22 which equals V
  • 9-0=9 which equals I
  • 14-2=12 which equals L
  • 19-0=19 which equals S
  • 19-2=17 which equals Q
  • 24-3=21 which equals U

The given code 0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3 will go on running in a loop every time one runs out of numbers, so:

  • 1-0=1 which equals to A
  • 21-3=18 which equals to R
  • 6-1=5 which equals to E

So in the end we are left with Anvil Square, which means the players will need to head to the east of Anvil Square, where they will find a garage workshop within which there would be a locker next to a rack of tires.

This locker will have the access to a hidden bunker which will have the next encrypted code written on the wall. Players will be able to go to the different locations only after the completion of the prior quest and not before that as they wouldn’t get the encryption in the game without it. The other encryptions which have been made live as of March 1 and their alphabetical counterparts are:

  • 19.19.19.1.27. 1.22. 22.16.15.10.20.21. 2.17.26.12 (1) = SPRAY AT SPLITS BOWL
  • 12.18.15.5.14.25. 14.4.2.22 (1) = LONELY LABS
  • 19.11.2.20.22.5.20.8.4. 22.13.1.4.19 (1) = SHATTERED SLABS
