Fortnite Telescope Locations: Where To Repair Damaged Telescopes (Foreshadowing Quest)

Fortnite Foreshadowing Quests are starting to appear in the game, and among them is a challenge that asks you to repair damaged telescopes. There are five damaged telescopes in total, scattered around the perimeter of the island, so it may be tough to get them all in one round, but however long it takes you, here's where to repair damaged telescopes in Fortnite.

Repair Damaged Telescopes Locations

As mentioned, there are five telescopes with which you'll need to interact, and note that each one will require 20 metal to repair. For that reason, it's best to complete this challenge in Team Rumble where you'll start with 150 metal right away. The five damaged telescopes can be found at the following locations:

• Southwest of Lockie's Lighthouse
• On the hills to the east of Craggy Cliffs
• On a snowy peak southeast of Retail Row
• Near the ziplines southeast of Catty Corner
• At the hills near Fancy View on the western edge of the map

Like the downed black helicopter, these damaged telescopes seem to be teasing an alien theme for Fortnite Season 7 and are part of the longer list of Foreshadowing Quests, more of which will come to the game before the new season begins on June 8. All five Foreshadowing Quests revolve around extraterrestrials, and given their name, seem to reveal aliens will soon be touching down on the Fortnite island.

IO Guards have been mentioned as well, as NPC Farmer Steel sees through their apparent ruse involving the downed "India Oscar" helicopter. In Fortnite lore, IO actually stands for Imagined Order, a secretive paramilitary group whose motives are unknown but tend to be adversarial toward players on the island.

As always, Epic seems to be setting up for something big at the end of the season, and given the epic and cinematic quality Fortnite has featured in its season-ending events as of late, don't be surprised if an alien mothership soon imposes its will over all who dwell on the island.
