Deal damage to opponents with scoped weapons
Here’s how to complete the task: Just grab a gun that has a scope attached. You just need to deal 200 damage and you can do this across different matches. Shouldn’t be a problem for you.
Search chests at Paradise Palms or Shifty Shafts
Here’s how to complete the task: Travel to one of the locations that is nearby and loot a total of 7 chests there. It’s best to do this at the beginning of a match, as the chances are higher that the chests are still closed.
Complete a lap on the racetrack in Happy Hamlet
Here’s how to complete the task: Head to the racetrack in Happy Hamlet, which is located in the southwest of the map. There you will find a racetrack with the baller. Get into the baller, wait for the countdown, and then go through the checkpoints. In our guide, we show you exactly how to do this:
Make the rubber ball bounce 15 times with a throw
Here’s how to complete the task: The rubber ball is a toy from the Battle Pass. You should make it bounce 15 times with a throw. We’ll show you here in the guide how you can easily complete the task.
Phase 1: Gain 50 shields from mushrooms
Here’s how to complete the task: In Phase 1, you need to eat mushrooms and gain 50 shield points. After that, you need to drink small and large potions in Phase 2 and 3 and reach 100 shield points each time. This can also happen across different matches.
Use a geyser, a zip line, and a vehicle during a match
Here’s how to complete the task: Around the volcano, at grid field H3, you can find plenty of geysers and some ziplines. You can combine two points right there and then find a vehicle to complete the task. Keep in mind that this all has to happen in one match.
Eliminate 3 opponents at pirate camps
Here’s how to complete the task: In Season 8, you can find many pirate camps on the Fortnite map. Travel there and take down opponents to complete this task. You can find all pirate camps here:
