During a standard match of [[Fortnite: Battle Royale|Battle Royale]], 3 IO Guards will spawn from an [[Elevators|Elevator]] at various locations across the map.

The only exception is the IO Guards in Hunter's Haven, who will attack [[Lexa]].

==Timeline==
  +
===[[Chapter 2: Season 5]]===
  +
The IO Guards are first seen running around aimlessly at The Bridge, after [[The Devourer of Worlds]] Event. Trios of them arrive at [[Apollo]] by [[Elevators]] that rise from The Bridge, and attack anyone on sight. Making sure nobody escapes [[The Loop]].
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 2: Season 6]]===
  +
IO evacuates [[The Bridge]] but leave IO Guards as security, and they fight against [[Batman Zero|Batman]] and his team of escaped Loopers. The guards fail, and Batman reaches to [[The Zero Point]].
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 2: Season 7]]===
  +
[[Doctor Slone]] and a group of IO Guards witness the destruction of [[The Spire]]. Prompting the IO to set up [[IO Camps|Camps]] around [[Abduction]] Sites and guard the [[Satellite Stations]] and [[Corny Complex]].
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 2: Season 8]]===
  +
Slone and a pair of IO Guards gathered some of the Alien wreckage, escorting them via [[IO Convoy|Convoy]] towards the [[IO Staging Facility]]. During [[The End (Chapter 2)|The End]], [[The Foundation]] infiltrates The Bridge and saves [[Agent Jones]] from his cell, while groups of IO Guards try to stop them. Foundation uses his Rift Railgun to [[Rift]] the IO Guards to different [[The Omniverse|Realities]], and throws a guard into [[The Zero Point]].
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 3: Season 1]]===
  +
The IO sends [[Mole Teams]] to the surface of [[Artemis]] in order to establish a hold on the island. [[Gunnar]] and his IO Guards drill through [[Pinnacle Peak]] and build [[Covert Cavern]] inside.
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 3: Season 2]]===
  +
IO Guards, alongside [[IO Patrols]] protect the IO's various bases. The IO use the Guards as disposable troops and kill them off while destroying their [[IO Outposts|Outposts]] on purpose to cut their losses. The IO Guards stationed under [[The Collider]] during [[Collision]] had one final Last Stand against [[The Seven]] alongside [[Doctor Slone|Slone]]. But were ultimately defeated, with the majority of the IO already evacuated from the island.
  +
  +
===[[Chapter 3: Season 3]]===
  +
Once the dust settles after the Imagined Order's devastating defeat, one lone IO Guard that survived Collision stays behind at a ruined Outpost all by himself. He was later found by a group of [[Henchbros|lonely Henchmen]] and was brought in to live a better life.

— Batman

IO Guards are the elite troops of the Imagined Order. They are recruited accross the Omniverse, but some are picked from skilled combatants from The Loop, whether a Snapshot or the real person. They are mostly stationed in The Bridge, and work under the command of Doctor Slone.

They are supporting antagonists in Fortnite: Battle Royale, serving as the central antagonists of Chapter 2: Season 5 and supporting antagonists in Chapter 2: Season 7, Chapter 3: Season 1 and Chapter 3: Season 2.

Personality

Though being different people, most guards seem to dislike their job and the lack of safety in their workplace. They still stay loyal to the IO and follow orders due to salaries, and other conditions while patiently awaiting retirement.
