HIGHLIGHTS:
- Shipping Manifest's are carryed by Dr Doom Henchmen at Dig Sites
- There are eight Dig Sites located on the map
- You need to eliminate henchmen for the Shipping Manifest to drop - you can't just down them
A new weekly quest in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 tasks players with finding a Shipping Manifest at a Dig Site. However, it's not all that obvious how to obtain this item, as the game gives you very few clues as to where to pick one up.
Here, I'll walk you through where to find all the Dig Site locations on the Fortnite map and how to obtain a Shipping Manifest at each one.
All Dig Site locations in Chapter 5 Season 4
There are eight Dig Sites currently on the Fortnite map, each at the following locations:
- Between Mount Olympus and Grand Glacier
- East of Doomstadt
- Northeast of Grand Glacier
- Northeast of Nitrodome
- North of Underworld
- South of Grim Gate
- South of Mount Olympus
- On the island between Rebel’s Roost and Doomstadt
Each of these locations is marked with a blue ping on the map, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.
Once you've landed at one of the Dig Sites, it's time to start looking for a Shipping Manifest
How to get a Shipping Manifest
Shipping Manifests are items held by Dr Doom's henchman, so you'll need to eliminate one of them for the item to drop.
Look for one of the henchmen, who are all dressed in dark green uniforms, and defeat one of them to put them in a downed state. You'll then need to damage them again to eliminate them properly. They should then drop their items, whether it be their weapon, ammo, or a Shipping Manifest.
The henchman doesn't drop a Shipping Manifest every time, so you might need to defeat a couple of them before you get the item you’re looking for. It took me four tries to get one myself. Thankfully, once you start attacking one of the henchmen, they all start to attack you back, so you should have no trouble finding more if you don't get lucky on your first try.
As far as I can tell, the Shipping Manifest item doesn't actually do anything. It doesn't seem to provide a buff like the Medallions do. My best guess is that the item exists purely to serve the story quest and nothing more.
If you're looking to complete this challenge yourself, bear in mind that quite a few other players are also hunting for a Shipping Manifest. The Dig Sites are hot drop points at the moment, and it took me two or three matches to defeat a henchman without being swarmed by other players.
I recommend either dropping to Dig Sites that are on the outer fringes of the map or saving this quest for later in a match when there are fewer players, and you're more stocked up on weapons and ammo.
