Chapter 7 Season 1 is ramping up the storyline in a big way. The arrival of The Visitor has triggered the “Interference” questline in Fortnite, bringing Dark Voyager back into focus and sending players across the map for stealth missions, combat objectives, and Zero Point investigations.

If you’re here to complete every available stage efficiently, this guide will walk you through the first four steps and offer strategic insight to maximize your XP gains.

Stage 1: Initiating the Investigation

To start the Interference storyline, visit The Visitor near Classified Canyon. He’s located just south of the triangular structure within the POI.

When interacting with him, choose the “Dark Voyager” dialogue option. This triggers the quest progression and rewards you with 15,000 XP.

While simple mechanically, this step establishes the narrative direction of the season, hinting at deeper instability tied to Zero Point energy.

Stage 2: Mastering the Stealth Splash

The second stage introduces the Stealth Splash mechanic. This consumable item grants temporary invisibility, making it ideal for repositioning or escaping tight situations.

Since it spawns as random loot, you’ll need to rely on chest RNG. Once acquired, activate it and travel 50 meters. Efficient routes include using vehicles for rapid distance or chaining sprint slides to cover ground quickly.

Smart players can combine this objective with rotation planning to avoid unnecessary engagements. Upon completion, you’ll gain another 15,000 XP.

Stage 3: Combat at Key Locations

Stage 3 demands three eliminations at Lethal Labs or Classified Canyon. Both areas are high-traffic zones due to quest activity, meaning you’ll likely encounter other players attempting the same challenge.

For aggressive players, early-game drops at Lethal Labs offer fast-paced action. More tactical players may prefer landing nearby and rotating in with better loot.

Because eliminations carry over between matches, patience is viable. Completing this objective rewards 15,000 XP and advances the storyline further.

Stage 4: Zero Point Shard Investigation

The fourth stage requires touching a floating Zero Point Shard at Lethal Labs. These shards hover above ground, making standard jumps ineffective.

The simplest method is gliding directly into one from the Battle Bus at match start. Alternatively, use Shockwave Grenades or Launch Pads to propel yourself upward.

Precision matters here—timing your glide correctly ensures quick completion without exposing yourself for too long.

After making contact, you’ll receive 15,000 XP. However, additional stages won’t unlock until February 26, meaning players must wait for the next chapter of the questline.

Why This Questline Matters

The Interference storyline isn’t just about XP. It builds tension around Dark Voyager’s mysterious activities and ties directly into the evolving Zero Point narrative that has shaped Fortnite’s multiverse arcs for years.

With 60,000 XP currently available and more stages on the way, completing these quests early keeps you ahead in the Battle Pass grind.

As always, stay adaptable, choose smart landing spots, and be ready for intense encounters around quest-heavy POIs. Chapter 7 is only getting started.
