Week 1 season 8 Fortnite: how to complete all challenges
This is the list of Challenges of week 1 of season 8 of Fortnite, both the free ones and those that require the battle pass, and of which we give you the solution below:
Free challenges
Visit all the pirate camps
In this challenge we must visit the seven pirate camps that have been included as a novelty for this season 8. They are scattered throughout the map, and you simply have to approach them so that their visit is valid. You can take it easy, since you can do it during different games. This is the location of each of these pirate camps:
Register chests in Ciudad Comercio or Chiringuito Chatarra
Basically what you have to do is register up to seven chests in one or both locations during different games. In this way, we recommend that you land first in one of these locations during your next games, so that you have the opportunity to open the chests before the rest of the opponents.
This is the location of chests in Ciudad Comercio:
This is the location of chests in Chiringuito Chatarra:
Phase 1: Deal damage with shotguns and explosive weapons in the same match
You must get 300 points of damage with a shotgun or an explosive weapon in a single game. We advise you to focus directly on first getting a grenade launcher or a rocket launcher, and then the shotgun, which is much more common. If you need an explosive weapon quickly, you can go to any vending machine.
The rest of the phases are as follows, and the greatest difficulty lies in finding these types of weapons at the beginning of the game:
- Stage 2: Deal damage with a pistol or assault rifle in a single match
- Stage 3: Deal damage with a Sniper Rifle or SMG in a single match
Battle Pass Challenges
Visit a giant face in the desert, jungle and snow
To complete the challenge we must find three giant faces that are scattered around the map, each one in a different biome: the desert, the jungle and the snow.
Each of these giant faces are located on the side of a mountain, glued to the edge of the map. Simply approach them until the visit is valid. It is quite easy to locate them since they are very large and can even be seen in the distance. This is the location of the three giant faces on the map:
Use a volcanic vent in different games
The volcanic vents are a kind of small white circular areas that emit jets of air towards the sky and that can be found mainly around the volcano on the western face, and also a little further north almost to the edge of the island where you can appreciate up to four natural pools. You must use five vents, but they must be in separate games.
In case you need more guidance, on this map you can see all Fortnite volcanic vents that we have found ...
Get an elimination with a shotgun, an assault rifle and an explosive weapon
You simply have to find such a weapon and make an elimination for the challenge to be completed. The weapons that are worth you to overcome this challenge are the following:
- Shotgun
- Tactical shotgun
- Assault rifle
- Silenced assault rifle
- Thermal range assault rifle
- Heavy assault rifle
- Assault rifle
- Rocket launcher
- Grenade launcher
Deal damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent
The challenge asks you to get 200 points of damage to a vehicle, but while it is being driven by someone else. What you should do is aim directly at the vehicle and not at the person who is driving. Just stay near places where there is a vehicle, and wait for someone to get into one and start driving. If you are close to where the bus route begins, it will be even easier. Apparently, it also counts for the 200 points of damage if we shoot at a turret, as long as there is an opponent up ...
