Two Fortnite Encrypted Cipher Quests have recently gone live and both of them are fairly easy to complete. They are called "1.17.23.9.14 19.19.24.1.21.6" and "19.19.19.1.27 1.22. 22.16.15.10.20.21 2.17.26.12." While this might seem like a joke, these are the actual names of the quests.

With this being the case, the requirements for the tasks at hand are rather unclear. Thankfully, completing the quests themselves is not too difficult. With that said, here's a step-by-step guide on how to complete the Fortnite Encrypted Cipher Quests.


How to complete "1.17.23.9.14 19.19.24.1.21.6'' and "19.19.19.1.27 1.22. 22.16.15.10.20.21 2.17.26.12." Encrypted Cipher Quests in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

1) 1.17.23.9.14 19.19.24.1.21.6 - Find an audio tape in Anvil Square

This quest is rather simple in nature, but completing it may take a few attempts. To start this quest, players first need to land in Anvil Square. If this POI wasn't already a hot-drop location in every match, it's certainly going to be one now.

That said, players need to land and find a hidden underground room beneath one of the buildings. While there is a quest-indicator that pops up on the minimap when players are near the objective, triggering it is easier said than done.

To make things easier, the building needed to enter is the one adjacent to the Reboot Van. It's located on the left side of the Reboot Van. Don't worry about not finding it as on the right side of the Reboot Van there's only terrain and no other buildings.

Once inside the building, look for a tool cabinet that's blocking the doorway. Break it down and proceed down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, a table will be visible at the far end of the room. Interact with this to complete the first Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quest.

2) 19.19.19.1.27 1.22. 22.16.15.10.20.21 2.17.26.12 - Use a Spray at Splits Bowl in Faulty Splits

The second Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quest is much easier and less demanding. Now, if you've managed to stay alive and make it out of Anvil Square after completing the first objective, the next thing to do is head towards Faulty Splits. To complete this quest, you'll have to Spray on a certain building.

Unlike the first quest, the second one is fairly straightforward and can be done without firing a single shot. Once at Fault Splits, find a building that has a sign that reads "Splits Bowl." Make your way into this building or onto its roof, and Spray to complete the second Fortnite Encrypted Cipher quest.

Keep in mind that there's no specific area or region within the building where the Spray has to be done. As long as it's within the immediate vinicty of the building or on top of it, the quest will be completed upon using a Spray.

After completing the two Encrypted Cipher quests, players will have to wait until tomorrow (March 2, 2023) before more of these can be unlocked. Since these quests are connected to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, it's advisable to complete them as soon as they go live to avoid missing out on any new rewards.
