After a brief delay to complete the Outlaw Keycard Community Quest, Story Quests are back in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2, and they're more challenging than ever, especially at Stage 4. Here's a detailed guide on how to equip the Sensor Backpack and scan Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite*.

How To Find the Sensor Backpack in Fortnite

Stage 3 of the Wanted: Midas Quests requires you to open an Outlaw Chest, which necessitates reaching Rare rarity with the Outlaw Keycard. This task could take a few hours as you'll need to rob multiple vaults, eliminate numerous guards, and spend a significant amount of gold. Once you've successfully opened that chest, Stage 4 awaits, and it's no walk in the park.

*Fortnite* sends you on a quest for the "Sensor Backpack," which you won't find in Chests or lying around. Instead, it's waiting on the ground behind the wolf statue south of Crime City, the same area where you can join the Secret Wolf Pack. If you're familiar with this location, you'll know exactly where to go. Upon arrival, you'll see a case on the ground that you can interact with. Interact with it, and the Sensor Backpack will take the place of your Back Bling.

With the Sensor Backpack equipped, you're ready to search for the Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite*. There are three signatures to find, conveniently located near where you picked up the backpack. Head up the mountain, and you'll notice three areas marked with exclamation points. Approach the nearest one, and glowing strings of lights will appear. Simply interact with them to scan the signature.

The signatures are close to each other, but you must interact with all three to complete the Sensor Backpack Quest and earn your XP. Be vigilant, as many players will be completing their Outlaw Quests simultaneously and might send you back to the lobby. It's wise to gear up before heading to the mountain to be prepared for any encounters.

Once you've completed the Sensor Backpack challenge, you can move on to Stage 5, which involves stealing a copy of the Mask-Making Book from the Mask Maker's Hideout. If you manage your time well, you can complete this stage in the same game, especially with the help of a vehicle.

And that's the complete guide on how to equip the Sensor Backpack and scan Mysterious Energy Signatures in *Fortnite* Chapter 6.
