The new Week 12 Legendary Quests in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 7 are here and one requires you to collect Alien Devices and then activate the Countermeasure Device under Corny Complex. We'll show you how to do it!

So yeah, this challenge sounds very complicated at first but it isn't. It may win the Season 7 award for the longest quest text but fortunately, it's not actually that hard if you know where to look. We'll show you where on the map to look for the three alien devices and then the countermeasure device's location on the Fortnite map.Once you complete this challenge, you'll earn 30k XP, so it's worth it if you still want to complete your Battle Pass before Fortnite's Season 8 begins.

First things first: what do the alien devices look like? Basically, they're just little purple orbs that are about the same size as all the other Fortnite items, so they're easy to miss. You can see them in the top left of the article's image. It's literally a smooth purple ball.

Where are the Alien Devices in Fortnite?

The Alien Devices are located in the Alien Biomes around Corny Complex on the Fortnite Map. You can see the exact locations here on the map:

  • Alien Device 1: North of Corny Complex along the river. There is a patch of purple grass there. The alien device is next to an alien tree at the bottom of the hill.
  • Alien Device 2: On the east side of the large purple crater in the center of the map. Look for the purple patch of grass that forms a sort of X shape. The alien device is located between two alien trees near a large bush.
  • Alien Device 3: Just south of Corny Complex is a small patch of purple grass. There is a tree there. The alien device is right next to it.

Where is the Countermeasure Device in Fortnite?

Once you have collected all three purple orbs, you need to activate the countermeasure device. The countermeasure is a huge machine that looks like what a game dev thinks a nuclear reactor looks like. It has three slots where you can perfectly insert the collected alien devices. It is located under the main red barn of Corny Complex, in the underground IO base. Watch out for the enemy IO guards and Doctor Slone running around there. The countermeasure device is located in the southwestern room. Just interact with it to fill up the slots and complete the challenge.

The 30,000 XP is yours. Have fun with it, and hopefully, you are almost done with Season 7's Battle Pass. If not, then we got Fortnite Quests for days: Where to Deploy Scanners in the Fortnite Alien Biome or Search For All Books on Explosions in Fortnite.
