How to eliminate IO guards in Fortnite Season 5?

Eliminating IO guards is clearly one of the most difficult Fortnite challenges that you will come across this week. You will need to eliminate a total of 50 IO guards to complete the challenge and earn the rewards. The IO Guards appear at several locations on the map through their set terminals. However, it can be difficult to find them if you are not sure where they spawn. You can get the exact locations of the IO Guards in the video embedded below.

The above video shows a number of locations on the map where the IO guards will appear. You will be able to get multiple kills from a single location. Once you have eliminated all the guards, you can move on to the next landmark. You should note that it is likely that these NPCs may not spawn immediately when you drop at the above locations on the map. In that case, you will need to move away from the landmark and drop again.
