SHADOW

SHADOW (formerly known as A.L.T.E.R.) is a Spy and Military Faction in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were found by Midas, but were lead by Chaos Agent during Chapter 2: Season 1 & Chapter 2: Season 2 who is one of the first Midas' Operative.

Overview
SHADOW is the "evil" team in the Spy Wars, with GHOST being the "good" team. They have existed way before E.G.O. as Midas formed the group before Chapter 2: Season 1. Their first members were Chaos Origins, Sierra and The Burning Wolf but they have expanded a lot during by the time they were active. Since Chapter 2: Season 4, they haven't been active like GHOST.

SHADOW logo is based on Chaos Agent's mask.

Before Chapter 2



 * Midas recruits The Burning Wolf, Chaos Agent and Sierra as The First Shadows. They form SHADOW.

Chapter 2: Season 1

 * A.L.T.E.R members were present on the island before E.G.O, they are involved in the import and sale of weapons at Dirty Docks and also have links with the companies Slurp Co. and Kevolution Energy, they started to oppose the members of E.G.O and chase them down while Chaos Agent watches everything from his lair.

Chapter 2: Season 2

 * E.G.O & A.L.T.E.R, now known as GHOST & SHADOW continue to wage war against each other. SHADOW established several SHADOW safehouses on the island. Midas as leader of GHOST founded the Agency and recruited several agents, three of them: Brutus, TNTina and Meowscles join SHADOW, allowing them to take control of The Grotto & The Rig. Near the end of the season Midas starts building The Device with his daughter Jules (a SHADOW member) as an attempt to push back The Storm, after the failure of The Device Midas shows his true affiliation and allows SHADOW to take control of the rest of The Agency.

Chapter 2: Season 3

 * SHADOW's headquarters are now The Authority, a more sinister version of The Agency re-constructed by Jules. Due to the flooding, The Grotto & The Rig are no longer fit for use as a base for SHADOW and are therefore abandoned. SHADOW safehouse are also being discontinued for some reason. SHADOW continues the war against the remaining members of GHOST who built The Fortilla as their new headquarters.

Chapter 2: Season 4

 * The Authority has been completely abandoned and the war between GHOST and SHADOW seems to have ended but no explanation has been given.

Chapter 3: Season 1

 * After Apollo flipped over, almost no trace of A.L.T.E.R. or SHADOW is left.

Recruitment Posters
"SHADOW WANTS YOU" Posters were able to be found in in the numerous locations around the map starting Chapter 2: Season 2, with many still being available to view around the map today.

Many of the posters were replaced by others (such as those welcoming/celebrating the Aliens in Believer Beach, or those advertising the cars introduced in Lazy Lake). Alternatively, some were outright removed, like with a location, or otherwise. Those that were removed are as follows:


 * Two in Pleasant Park, being on the sides of southwestern-most green house and the gas station
 * Three in Frenzy Farm
 * The side of the center building in Lazy Lake
 * Two in Holly Hedges, being on the southwest-most brick building and in the parking lot of the center shop
 * Two in Sweaty Sands, being on the southwest brick building and behind the SoFDeeZ
 * Many inside The Authority
 * The back of the Gas N’ Grub
 * Two on the sides of Building 2 in Steamy Stacks
 * The side of the Cap n' Carp building in Misty Meadows
 * On the side a building at the entrance/exit to Green Steel Bridge
 * The entrance of the brick wall surrounding the zipline that connects to the large blue communications platforms in Retail Row

Trivia

 * The only actual symbol of SHADOW left on Apollo are the ocean-facing entrance of what used to be The Grotto, besides the ones found on Motorboats and on remaining recruitment posters.
 * Interestingly, all Motorboats seem to have the A.L.T.E.R. logo on them, despite them technically being able to have the E.G.O. logo, as seen in the Loading Screen "Dive!".
 * Midas' First Shadows may also be the first members of SHADOW.
 * Shadow Safe Houses, Delta, Charlie and Echo could be a reference to Jurassic World where there are Velociraptors named Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo.
