Retrieve the Data

Retrieve the Data is an objective defense Mission in Fortnite: Save the World. Its current version was introduced as a Beta Storm in Update v6.10, and was permanently added in Update v8.10. Players have 20 minutes to complete the mission before the Storm closes.
== Mission Info ==
== Objectives ==
*In Retrieve the Data, players must locate the landing zone for a weather balloon, which is a red holo square.
**The weather balloon can be located by looking up in the sky.
*Players must interact with the zone to initiate the defense, which requires players to shoot the balloon down, if the landing timer hasn't concluded on its own.
**If uninterrupted, the balloon lands on its own, and the defense automatically begins when the Evac timer hits 3:00.
**The balloon's health scales with the power level of the mission.
*Once the objective has landed, players are required to defend it from Husks while it downloads a total of 16 files.
**Each file takes 30 seconds to download.
*At least 4 files must be successfully downloaded or the mission will fail at the end, even if the server has survived.
*Having the server being shredded is an immediate fail no matter how many files have been successfully downloaded.

== Strategy ==
*Look up at the sky to find the weather balloon.
*You can start the defense early instead of waiting for the balloon to land by itself.
**Doing this will make the balloon be destroyable instantly.
***Use a Sniper or Bow to shoot the balloon down.
*Try to start the defense early or else you won't be able to download all 12 files to get the most rewards.
== Versions ==
* Before the introduction of Beta Storm, the no-build zone was 2x2 vertically up. Once the balloon landed, however, it becomes 1x1x1.
* After Beta Storm was fully implemented, the no-build zone is 1x1 vertically up, and becomes 1x1x1 when the balloon is landed.
== Trivia ==
*Retrieve the Data has the chance of being 1/6 missions that are 4 players suggested.
