Challenge 1 – Land at Different Locations
How to complete the task: Overall, you need to land at 5 locations:
- Land at the Block
- Land at Dusty Divot
- Land at Polar Peak
- Land at Snobby Shores
- Land at Paradise Palms
Challenge 2 – Deal 200 damage to a falling supply drop
How to complete the task: This task is a bit tricky since supply drops are rare and you need to shoot them while they are falling. This consumes ammunition and makes you noticeable.
Ideally, complete the task in a mode with enhanced loot, as more supply drops tend to fall.
Challenge 3 – Eliminate 3 opponents in Salty Springs or Haunted Hills
How to complete the task: This is the usual kill task that shouldn’t be a big problem.
Challenge 4 – Gain health from apples (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: This task isn’t a big problem either. Every player should have used an apple at some point to regenerate 25 health points. Phase 2 requires 50 health points from campfires (Locations can be found here). Phase 3 requires 75 health from medkits.
Challenge 5 – Visit the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost point of the island (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: In our guide, we show you each location you need to visit for this task:
Challenge 6 – Deal damage to opponents with a pirate cannon (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: Pirate cannons are fun and fit well with the theme of season 8. Therefore, it is also great fun to complete this task. Just find a cannon and shoot it at your opponents.
You can find cannons at the new pirate camps in Fortnite; here are their locations:
Challenge 7 – Search 3 chests in different named locations in a match (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: Chests are important to get good loot. Just make sure to open chests in a match at different named locations on the map.
Only then will the task count. Ideally, go to a remote location and loot the surrounding locations from there.
