As always, we recommend taking a look at the challenges for the week so you have a good idea of what you need to do. Many of them are easy and can be obtained by playing naturally, but others require a bit more effort.

  • Craft a mechanical bow, a mechanical explosive bow, and a mechanical shockwave Bow.
  • Tame a boar.
  • Deal damage with mechanical weapons.
  • Deal explosive damage to opponents.
  • Ride different zip lines.
  • Obtain literature samples from Pleasant Park, Lazy Lake, or Retail Row.

As you can see, the toughest ones are for crafting certain bow types, taming a boar, and finding literature samples. For those, we’ll dive into how to complete them in more detail below.

There’s a prerequisite you must complete before attempting this one. First, you need to ride five zip lines, which is easily done at the Spire. Then, you can begin hunting for literature samples, all of which can be found in our guide on where to find literature samples in Pleasant Park, Lazy Lake, and Retail Row.

And with that, you should be well-equipped to complete the challenges for Fortnite season 6, week 2! They aren’t too bad this week — some just require a bit of planning ahead of time.

Fortnite is cutting down on item FOMO with new store change
The TMNT Fortnite skins. We have all four turtles in fighting poses in front of a purple background.

Fortnite practically runs on FOMO (fear of missing out). if you don't get the item you want in a battle pass, you'll most likely never get the chance again. So if you wanted to run around as Goku and missed when the excellent skin was available? Tough luck.

But that policy is changing soon. Developer Epic Games announced in a blog post that items could be made available in the Shop 18 months after their respective battle passes expired at the least. That includes alt styles, which might also come to the Shop, along with licensed outfits you may have missed out on. This also applies to items that may have been unlocked after a battle pass launch.

How many skins are in Fortnite?

With each new Fortnite season comes a slew of new cosmetics to earn through the Battle Pass or to purchase in the item shop. With the game being out for nearly six years, the number of skins in the game has grown to absurd levels. No longer will you run into a match of solo players wearing similar skins. Between regular releases of skins and special event skins involving IPs like Star Wars, Street Fighter, Marvel, and more, every player has a very unique locker full of cosmetics to bust out in a given match.

These days, it's almost more likely you'll run into a skin you've never seen before than a player using the same one as you!

Epic Games teased the collaboration on Sunday with just the image of a tire tread and a cutoff Cybertruck logo. Then the studio released a small trailer on Monday with Fishstick successfully towing other in-game vehicles.
