Fortnite Fortbyte 82: Squad-based Pressure Plate Puzzle solved

Fortnite developer Epic Games has released another Fortbyte challenge for Season 9.

Fortbytes are a series of 100 collectible computer chips that are available as part of the season 9 Battle Pass.

Collecting Fortbytes will help players unlock new skin variants, not to mention the mystery skin tied in to the Utopia challenge.

18 Fortbytes were available when Season 9 launched, with more added on a daily basis.

Collecting Fortbytes will gradually decrypt a mysterious image.

Epic Games says collecting Fortbytes will help “unlock rewards and uncover the secrets of Season 9”.

Fortnite fans can now discover Fortbyte #82, which is accessible by solving the Pressure Plate Puzzle north-west of the Block.

Fortunately, this isn’t particularly tricky if you’ve got a few friends to help.

First up you’ll need to get to the right location, which is north west of The Block.

Among some trees on map square D1 are three pressure pads with feet symbols.

To solve the puzzle and get the Fortbyte collectable, three players must stand on the pressure pads at the same time.

You can see for yourself by watching the video demonstration below.

Other tricky Fortbytes include #13, which is hidden within loading screen two.

Fortbyte #13 can be found in a portable toilet located in Paradise Palms.

Fortbyte #24 – which can be found in Fatal Fields – has also given some fans problems.

The location of this piece was actually revealed in the Fortnite season 9 Battle Pass trailer.

It’s between two desks in a house on the west side of Fatal Fields.

Then there’s Fortbyte #47, which can be found in the northern part of the map, very close to Lazy Lagoon.
