These challenges will run parallel to the much-hyped High Stakes challenges that’ll go live with the patch on Thursday. This batch looks like a classic week though, with both a treasure map and dance off challenge.
The challenge info we’re working off comes from FortniteTracker, who once again have ripped it out of the game’s files early.
Fortnite Week 9 Season 5 challenges:
Free Challenges:
- Deal damage with explosive weapons to opponents – 500
We’ve had similar challenges in weeks previous, but this is a bit broader. Explosive weapons include things like the Grenade Launcher and Rocket Launcher, as well as Grenades and Clingers. You don’t have to deal all of the damage in the same match, so we’d suggest jumping into 50v50 mode where there are a lot of bunched up targets, grenades are common, and you have a decent chance of getting a powerful Rocket Launcher from the supply drops on the edge of the circle.
- Use an ATK – 1
Easy-peasy. Probably the easiest in Week 9. We’ve got a full page on where to find an ATK golf cart, but in brief, try heading to Lazy Links, Paradise Palms, or Snobby Shores – there are tons there.
- Follow the Treasure Map found in Shifty Shafts
We’ll have a full page on where to grab these Battle Stars when the challenges drop so stay tuned!
Battle Pass Challenges:
- Search chests in Pleasant Park – 7
There are plenty of chest spawns to go after in Pleasant Park. There’s one in the centre circle of the football pitch, as well as under the gazebo in the middle of the area. There’s another in the garage in the southeast corner of the area, one in the underground shelter in the east of the area, and three possible spawns around the houses in both the northeast and southwest corners of the Park.
- Dance Off with another player near Loot Lake – 1
We’ll have another full page on how to do this challenge when it drops, but it likely has something to do with the dancefloor inside the warehouse on the western shore of Loot Lake. In previous seasons we’ve had to work together to raise a disco ball in there. To Dance Off you’ll need to have a dance emote equipped, so make sure you do.
- Assault Rifle Eliminations – 5
Common Assault Rifles feel a little outclassed in the meta right now, but the SCAR is still a powerful weapon. If you’re struggling with the weaker tiers, head over to a squads or duos mode and finish off downed enemies with an assault rifle – it’ll count towards the challenge progress.
- Eliminate opponents in Tomato Temple – 3
If you hadn’t noticed, Tomato Town looks totally different now. In response to criticism that it looked just like Greasy Grove with a big Tomato, Epic Games revamped the area into a giant temple, complete with flaming torches. The main thing about Tomato Temple is its verticality, so try and use it to your advantage. Either take the high ground and try to surprise people as they search the lower areas, or skulk down below and catch people off guard as they run down with limited visibility. When these challenges drop the eliminations area is always absolute carnage, so try and get this done early.
The rest of this seasons challenges are ready and waiting to be completed.
