How to Get Intel in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions
Written by Priya Kapoor
To get intel in Expeditions, you need to finish mission objectives. Intel is only rewarded when you fully complete the mission, not just by running around or looting.
These intel cards are used at the Superhero Academy for permanent upgrades. If you're not completing the main task, you're not getting any intel.
Complete Mission Objectives
You only earn intel after doing the main objective in an Expedition. These include:
Defeating bosses like Kor, Titan, or Spire
Destroying corrupted masks
Defending the generator or zone until time runs out
You’ll see a reward screen after finishing, and if done correctly, you’ll get 2 or 3 intel cards. Leaving early or skipping the goal means no intel.
Best Missions for Intel Farming
The fastest missions tend to be:
Defend the Generator missions, where you hold a zone and fight waves
Defeat the Titan missions, which drop extra rewards if completed quickly
Both are short, direct, and easy to finish without needing a full group. You don’t need to search around or open every chest.
How to Tell If You Got Intel
After completing the mission, look at the reward summary. If you did it right, it will show intel cards with the rest of your loot. If it’s missing, the mission wasn’t completed properly.
There’s no random chance. You either finish the objective and get intel, or you don’t.
Final Blurb
If you’re low on intel, check if you're actually finishing the mission goals. Don’t leave early and don’t ignore the objective.
Clear the task, collect your rewards, and head back to the Academy to spend it.
