Here’s everything you need to know about Outlaw Keycards in Fortnite and how they work.
Update (March 17): The first Community quest has been completed, so we’ve updated the guide with further details on how Outlaw Keycards work.
How to get the Outlaw Keycard in Fortnite
To get the Outlaw Keycard in Fortnite, start by completing the community quest that involves robbing vaults across the map, with the Outlaw Oasis vault being the easiest option due to its simple puzzle. Successfully robbing a vault rewards you with the Common Outlaw Keycard, which grants access to Black Market backrooms where you can find unique items. To upgrade your keycard and unlock better rewards, you must complete a series of Outlaw Keycard quests, including robbing more vaults, eliminating bosses or guards, spending gold bars, and collecting special items. Each upgrade increases the tier of your keycard, ultimately granting access to powerful weapons and exclusive loot in the Black Market.
With the community quest completed, players now have access to the common Outlaw Keycard and Outlaw Keycard quests. The common keycard grants you access to the Black Market backrooms, which is a locked room in each Black Market that has rare purchasable items.
The Outlaw Keycard can be found in your resources inventory in-game, but it cannot be dropped or shared. If you want to get the best loot in the backrooms, you’ll need to complete the Outlaw Keycard quests on your own.
All Outlaw Keycard quests in Fortnite
The Outlaw Keycard quests in Fortnite revolve around a series of community and individual missions that allow players to upgrade their keycards and access the Black Market backrooms. The main quests include robbing vaults using Thermite to breach them, eliminating bosses or guards scattered across the map, spending gold bars at Black Markets, and collecting Boons or Medallions by defeating key NPCs or purchasing them. Each quest has five stages, and completing every five quests upgrades the Outlaw Keycard to higher tiers, unlocking better rewards such as Exotic items, hireable muscle, Outlaw Chests with free bars, premium loadouts, and legendary items. These quests encourage players to work both individually and collectively to fight against Fletcher Kane’s control and gain access to unique weapons and advantages in the game.
Completing Outlaw Keycard quests will upgrade your keycard – giving you access to more weapons and items in the backrooms with each tier. To see your Outlaw Keycard tier and progression, open the “The Outlaw Keycard” banner located in the Battle Royale quests tab.
The Outlaw Keycard quest tab also shows you the progress in all four of the Outlaw Keycard quests:
- Rob Vaults (3)
- Eliminate bosses or guards (25)
- Spend Bars (1,500)
- Collect Boons or Medallions (2)
Each Outlaw Keycard quest has five stages and their objective stays the same – meaning you’ll need to repeat each quest five times. For example, after you rob three vaults in the first stage, you’ll need to rob three more vaults in the second stage and so on.
As you complete Outlaw Keycard quests, the Outlaw image will begin to fill out and your keycard will upgrade to the next tier – unlocking more rewards in the backrooms.
All Outlaw Keycard tiers in Fortnite
The Outlaw Keycard in Fortnite has five tiers, each unlocking progressively better rewards in the Black Market backrooms. Starting with the Common Keycard, obtained by completing the initial community quest, players gain access to these secret areas. The Uncommon Keycard allows purchasing Exotic items and hiring muscle. The Rare Keycard grants access to special Outlaw Chests containing free Bars. The Epic Keycard unlocks premium loadouts from shopkeepers, such as Skillet’s Sticky Grenade Launcher set, Keisha’s Falcon Eye Sniper loadout, and Joss’ Holo Twister AR package. Finally, the Legendary Keycard offers the best rewards, with Outlaw Chests dropping legendary items and Dill Bits, which can be used to buy Mythic or Exotic weapons at match start. Upgrading the keycard requires completing Outlaw Keycard quests involving robbing vaults, defeating bosses, spending Bars, and collecting medallions.

How to fix Community quest bug
To fix the Community quest bug in Fortnite related to the Outlaw Keycard, players can try several effective steps. First, ensure you are in the correct game mode for the quest, as quests may not appear or progress if you are in the wrong mode. Restarting Fortnite or your console often resolves minor glitches causing quests to get stuck. For Xbox users, holding down the Xbox button and restarting the console can help. Additionally, revisiting the challenges screen where the bug occurred may refresh quest progress. If the quest progress is stuck at 100% but rewards or further quests are not unlocking, this is a known issue reported by the community. Keeping Fortnite updated and checking official Epic Games status pages for live bug fixes is also recommended. If problems persist, waiting for an official patch or auto-completion fix from Epic Games might be necessary, as some quests have been auto-completed in past updates to resolve progression blocks.
As the Community quest has been 100% completed, the Outlaw Keycard quests have been unlocked. However, for some players and myself included, the Outlaw Keycard quests have not appeared in the quest tab.
