IO equipment locations in Fortnite at a glance
To complete this Fortnite challenge, you need to repair two pieces of IO equipment in two out of three specific IO bases on the Fortnite map.
Each base contains one piece of repairable equipment, so, if you want to complete this challenge in one match, we recommend visiting the two bases located in the northern section of the map.
If, however, you're eliminated by another player after fixing one piece of equipment in either of these two bases, we recommend visiting the southern base, because its piece of equipment is very easy to find.
