How to extort an IO guard in Fortnite?

The IO guards are NPCs that spawn a few minutes after the start of the game, and are sure to attack you if they see you. When you see them (see below for the map), you will have to shoot them to inflict damage. Only, when they are on the ground, you will not have to kill them, but approach them to extort them, by pressing the indicated key. It is the same process as for extort an opponent, thus making it possible to reveal the IO guards nearby.

A seemingly simple challenge, which could be more complicated if enemies come to spoil your work.

Location of IO guards

Given that a challenge a few weeks ago asked you to eliminate some, you should have no trouble finding some IO guards. However, if you still don't know where they can be found, we have indicated their spawn point on the map below.


Note that you should only extort one garde IO to complete the challenge and walk away with 20 XP.
