There have been big changes introduced for the latest season, including the addition of a new type of game mode with the Fortnite Spy Games, along with a linked set of Fortnite Spy Games challenges to complete. This mode involves players choosing between SHADOW and GHOST, the two competing factions featuring in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2, then taking part in Operations matches to collect intel and unlock tech for that team. This is certainly more in-depth that your average Fortnite LTM, so let's take a look at how it all works plus what weapons and items you can unlock.

Fortnite Spy Games SHADOW and GHOST Tech
As we mentioned previously, players need to choose between the SHADOW and GHOST factions, which can be done through the Spy Games option in the Battle Pass menu. The faction you select will be the one that unlocks new tech for your use as you progress through the Fortnite Spy Games, but at any point you can swap between the two factions to divert your progress in the direction you want.
When you're actually playing a Spy Games mode such as Operation: Dropzone and Operation: Knockout, you'll be given an option of three different loadouts to choose from, and this will determine what weapons and items you have access to rather than gathering them as loot. At certain points through the match you'll be given a choice of another three random loadouts, and your selection will be added to whatever you already had in your inventory. For every five pieces of Intel your team secures in Operations matches, you'll unlock a new piece of tech for your pool of weapons and items. The Fortnite Spy Games SHADOW and GHOST Tech unlocks are as follows:

Take a look through the lists above, and pick either SHADOW or GHOST depending on which tech best suits your playstyle. Remember that you can switch between factions at any time, so that gives you the option to try out both sides without having to make a permanent decision.
Fortnite Spy Games Challenges
- Win a match in Operation matches (1)
- Deal damage to players in Operation matches (1,000)
- Eliminate Players in Operation matches (10)
Initially there are three Fortnite Spy Games challenges available, which can only be completed by playing the Operation: Dropzone match type. None of them are particularly difficult, so if you keep playing this game mode while eliminating opponents and chasing down the objectives then you should be able to tick them off fairly quickly.
