This guide will show you how to complete the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 and its Week 1 challenges that have been introduced this season. Weekly seasons have been a big part of Fortnite ever since the existence of its Battle Pass.
This season is no different as you get another Battle Pass with many tiers to progress and rewards to unlock. Of course, to help speed up the process of completing the Battle Pass, Epic Games has added the Weekly Challenges that are various tasks you have to complete in order to get your Season XP rewards.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 Week 1 Challenges Guide
Below you will find all the challenges for Week 1, and how to complete them.
- Deal 200 damage to Loot Sharks in Sweaty Sands
- Deal damage within 10s of landing from the whirlpool at Hyrdo 16
- Enter Catty Corner Vault
- Find 3 Gnomes at Homely Hills
- Search 7 chests or ammo boxes at Rickety Rig
- Land at Misty Meadows and finish top 25
- 3 Eliminations at Steamy Stacks
Challenge #1 – Deal 200 damage to Loot Sharks in Sweaty Sands
There are plenty of new Loot Sharks in the map, which are not only dangerous but also reward you with loot if you kill them. This challenge requires you to go to Sweaty Sands and look for a shark and then shoot them for loot. Fortunately, sharks are not hard to find, and can be distinguished with their fins poking out from the water.
Challenge #2 – Deal damage within 10s of landing from the whirlpool at Hyrdo 16
This is a pretty straightforward challenge, and it requires you to first head towards Hydro 16, which is pretty much around water this season. Now look for a whirlpool and head inside it until it launches you high up in the air. Now all you have to do is land on the ground, look for an opponent immediately and shoot them within 10 seconds of landing.
Challenge #3 – Enter Catty Corner Vault
This challenge requires you to enter the vault that is in one of the new locations in the game called Catty Corner. This area is just south of both Lazy Lake and Retail Row. Once you reach the location, you will find Henchmen still occupying this location.
Here you will have to defeat them and the boss named Kit, who will then drop the Catty Corner Keycard. Now you will be able to see the location of the vault, where you will have to interact with the computer by using the keycard and opening the vault.
Challenge #4 – Find 3 Gnomes at Homely Hills
Hello me old chum. Gnomes have made a comeback in Fortnite with the same task where you have to find them hidden in random places. There are three gnomes to be found at Homely Hills, which in the north part of the map.
Go to the C2 grid of the map, where you will find a house with a BBQ grill outside, and a gnome standing right in front of it. The second gnome can be found behind towards the wooden fence, and then go left where another will be facing a large tree. The last gnome can be found to the left of the last location is a house. Head inside the house and make your way towards the attic where you will find the gnome.
Challenge #5 – Search 7 chests or ammo boxes at Rickety Rig
This is a pretty simple challenge, and also a reoccurring one every season. All you have to do is search chests or ammo boxes at Rickety Rig. Fortunately there are plenty of these items in this location, which means that it will take hardly more than a match to complete this task.
Challenge #6 – Land at Misty Meadows and finish top 25
This is another easy challenge, which requires you to land at Misty Meadows and then survive long enough to reach the top 25 players left in the game. This is fairly easy as top 25 is not a big ask anyway.
Challenge # 7 – 3 Eliminations at Steamy Stacks
Land at Steamy Stacks and look to get three kills in this location. You don’t have to get the three kills at once in a single match. You can do this at your own pace and in however many matches you prefer.
This concludes our Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 Week 1 Challenges Guide. Post your comments below.
