This makes it easier to get around the map, although since the storm closes in sooner in this mode you might have less time to travel to the two locations you’ll need to visit in order to complete the first stage of the challenge. Also, when playing a team-based mode such as Team Rumble, you get gliders by default. Using one of Fornite’s new vehicles, such as the hoverboard or the Baller (especially the latter as it provides protection from enemy fire) could be a good idea to complete the challenge faster.

Then it’s a matter of waiting a bit until the number of players on the map goes down (maybe find a hiding spot or something) and then travel to the second location you have to visit in order to complete the challenge. If you’re playing solo Battle Royale, visiting locations which are not on the path of the bus first might be a good idea, as you’ll encounter less players roaming about.

This kind of challenge was last seen in week 3, and the same advice applies here. The second challenge of the week involves visiting two named locations in a single match: Junk Junction and The Block.

Once you’ve dealt 100 points of damage to other players with the pickaxe, you’ll have completed this first free challenge of the week. Of course, this can be a route to a quick elimination if your opponent manages to grab a weapon before you do, and going for an early pickaxe assault can also leave you exposed to any other armed players in the vicinity, but this surely is worth a shot in order to complete the challenge. This way, you’ll at least be able to rack up a few damage points before getting shotgunned in the face…Īn alternative when playing solo Battle Royale instead of Team Rumble (you can change game modes from Fortnite’s lobby screen by pressing the interact button – this is the X button if you’re on Xbox One, and the Square button if you’re playing on PS4) is to get off the bus as quickly as possible and follow another player so that you can pummel him or her with your pickaxe just after you land, and before he’s got a chance to grab any gear. If you’re playing a mode such as Team Rumble, just try approaching unwary players from the back and hitting them with the pickaxe a couple of times.

The tricky thing, of course, is to get close enough to armed opponents in order to deal enough damage to complete the challenge. This kind of challenge was last seen in week 1, but the good thing here is that you don’t have to search for weapons and get armed before being able to complete the challenge, as you’ve got all you need right off the bat (the pickaxe of course). The first challenge of the week involves dealing damage with a specific kind of weapon. The free challenges corresponding to season 8, week 7 are the following: Deal damage with a pickaxe to opponents, Visit Junk Junction and The Block in a single match and Visit Pirate Camps in a single match. With Fortnite season 8’s now kicking and screaming, Epic has recently revealed the challenges corresponding to week 7 of this pirate-themed season of Fortnite.
