What Shadow Briefings are and how to find them

Shadow Briefings appear at the same set of locations across the map, and each briefing gives you a timed challenge with rewards. The timer is five minutes, and the briefings come in three types: Hunter, Plunder, and Supply Drop. To find one, watch your map and minimap for a laptop icon — it shows up when you’re in the briefing’s vicinity. Also, each briefing displays a unique icon at the site that tells you the objective:

Radar — Hunter
Treasure map — Plunder
Parachuting crate — Supply Drop

How to complete each Shadow Briefing

Hunter

For Hunter briefings, you must deal 300 damage to enemy players within the five-minute timer. After you hit the damage requirement, the briefing rewards 250 gold bars.

Plunder

Plunder briefings spawn two buried chests. Therefore, you need to find and dig up both Rare chests within the five-minute window. If you do, you get the two chests as the reward.

Supply Drop

Supply Drop briefings call in a crate to the site. Once it lands, simply search the supply crate and collect the items inside to complete the briefing.

In short: the briefing icons tell you the objective, the laptop icon shows you when you’re close, and the five-minute timer is the same for every briefing. So, drop in, spot the icon, and finish the task to grab easy rewards.
