Sometimes, the missiosn you're tasked with working through for the main storyline in Fortnite are kind of wacky and weird. This is the case with the ride on a player's shoulders to gather intel on their movements.
Although this mission seems silly, it's also a pretty tricky one to check off, as there's a good chance you've never used this interaction before. It's quite hidden, and not one you're likely to be familair with, making this mission a lot tougher than you might expect. Luckily, it's quite doable once you know where to look, so here's how to ride on a player's shoulders to gather intel on their movements in Fortnite.
Ride on a player's shoulders to gather intel on their movements in Fortnite
You can ride on a player's shoulders to gather intel by selecting the Shoulder Ride option from the Social Interaction page in Fortnite. It can be a bit tricky to find, especially if you've never used it before, so here's a full breakdown of how to make it happen.
- Select a match type with two or more players. This feat cannot be completed when you're playing alone, so the first step is choosing to play with others. You can either work on this task with friends who join your lobby or matchmake with random players. Either option works, but it's a lot easier to get this quest done with people you know, as communicating with your team that you need to complete this task can be difficult otherwise.
- Land on the main island. This option is available in the lobby area, too, but using it there won't actually count for the mission. Because of this, be sure to wait until you've actually landed on the main Chapter Seven, season two map. Stick close to your team, too, as you'll need them around to make it happen.
- Have a teammate trigger the Shoulder Ride option. This is where things get difficult. For the purposes of this mission, you need to be the one riding on a teammate's shoulders, not the one giving the ride. Because of this, your teammate needs to offer you a ride. They can do so by holding down the emote button, switching over to the Social Interactions page, and selecting the Shoulder Ride action.
- Accept the Shoulder Ride. Approach your teammate when they have the glowing blue arrow over their head and are gesturing to their back. Once you're by them, select the button that appears next to the "Shoulder Ride" text to hop on their back. As soon as you do, the quest will be complete.
- Repeat this process for any teammates who also want to check off the quest. Once you've got it done, consider triggering a Shoulder Ride yourself so your allies can hop on and get this mission done, too.
Now that your ally has helped you get this mission done for Hope and The Order, you can focus your time on other tricky feats waiting to be tackled around the island. If you're unsure what to work on next, some key missions worth completing are decrypting a recording from The Imagined at a holotable, finding The Foundation’s lost helmet and cape, collecting all Chaos Cubes, and using the Jam Track Player.
