Chrome is slowly taking over the entire island as we approach the end of the season. The Paradise questline reveals some of the most important details regarding current events, which is what makes it interesting.

Once you have completed all the parts of the questline by November 15, you should receive a new quest as soon as you log in. As you continue to progress through the questline, you will be asked to position the Signal booster using your harvesting tool, which can be done in a single game.

Signal boosters are located around the Reality Tree, and with all the mobility items currently available in the game, you can complete the challenge in just a few minutes.

Here is everything you need to do:

1) Land on the Signal booster

You can complete the challenge much faster if you decide to land on one of the Signal boosters. They can be found around the Reality Tree and are marked in the screenshot above. You can simply open up the map and ping these locations.

The most efficient way is to land on the Signal booster at Greasy Grove. The booster is located on the floating platform, meaning that you can use the hot air balloon to redeploy and visit other boosters after you are done.


2) Position the Signal booster using your harvesting tool
