Fortnite week 5 challenges are live, and they involve gas stations, pistols and pickaxes.
In case you’re new to the world of Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic Games releases a new set of seven in-game challenges each week.
Completing four of the challenges nets players a whopping 4,000 XP, not to mention a ton of Battle Stars.
The challenges are separated into hard and regular tiers of difficulty. The hard difficulty Fortnite challenges are worth ten Battle Stars, while the regular tasks will reward fans with five Battle Stars.
Two of the trickier Fortnite week 5 challenges task players with visiting three gas stations and finding the Anarchy Acres treasure map and Battle Star.
Check out the gallery at the top of the page for the Gas Station locations, and the gallery below for Anarchy Acres treasure guide.
The most efficient way to best the Gas Station challenge is to parachute into the west side of the map.
You can start at Pleasant Park (C3 on the map) and make your way south (C4, C5, C7 all have gas stations), or begin at Greasy Grove and move north.
Gas stations are much more spread out in the east and south sides of the map, so you might want to avoid Lucky Landing and Tomato Town.
The treasure map, meanwhile, can be found in a shack near the big house in Anarchy Acres (F2 of the map).
At this point you might want to jump back into the Battle Bus and head south-west of Junk Junction (B2 on the map). The Battle Star is near the big rock.
Remember to finish the game to bag the rewards.
Other weekly challenges task players with searching chests in Moisty Mire and dealing damage with the pickaxe.
The full list of challenges can be found.
- Use the Bush (1)
- Search Chests in Moisty Mire (7)
- Deal damage with a pickaxe to opponents (200)
- Visit different Gas Stations in a single match (3)
- Follow the treasure map found in Anarchy Acres (1) (HARD)
- Pistol Eliminations (3) (HARD)
- Eliminate opponents in Tilted Towers (3) (HARD)
The ‘Use the Bush’ challenge can be bested by equipping Bush camouflage found in treasure chests.
‘Search Chests in Moisty Mire’ is pretty self explanatory, and involves little more than uncovering seven chests in the swamp area.
‘Deal Damage with a pickaxe to opponents’ is best attempted early on, before everybody has weapons. You’ll need to deal 200 points worth of damage to complete this one.
Getting three ‘Pistol Eliminations’ and ‘Eliminating opponents in Tilted Towers’ are also pretty self explanatory. You could even combine the two for a real challenge!
Good luck, and check back next week for the next batch of Fortnite challenges.
