Season 3, week 13 quest guide

Challenge a character to a duel and defeat them (1)

Map of NPCs in Fortnite.

For this quest, you’ll want to get stocked up on gear before challenging one of the NPCs on the map. There are three total: One at Rocky Reels, one to the west of Shuffled Shrines, and one northeast of Logjam.

Use the map above for reference. Once you’ve got some decent gear and healing items, talk with the NPC and initiate a duel, causing them to become hostile towards you. As long as you use cover effectively and only attack when it’s safe to do so, you shouldn’t have too many issues taking them down. Just make sure to pull back and heal if need be. Once they’re eliminated, you’ll earn credit for completing this quest.

Deal SMG damage to opponents within 5 seconds of sprinting (250)

Make it a priority to get your hands on an SMG and then hold onto it as you play out a match. When you come across an opponent, make sure to sprint at them before firing with the SMG. Just keep in mind, you only need to deal 250 damage rather than securing an elimination. This is a cumulative objective, so you can earn progress across any number of matches.

Emote in the giant Cuddle Team Leader head for 5 seconds (1)

The giant Cuddle Team Leader head is at the peak of Rave Cave, in the northwestern portion of the map — you can’t miss it. Land inside the head right away and then use any emote you have. After you’ve emoted for five seconds, you’ll earn credit for completing this one.

Refuel a vehicle at different gas stations in a single match (3)

The trickiest part of this quest is knowing where all the gas stations are. The map above has all the locations of the gas stations across the map. For this quest, land at any of the gas stations shown above, use the fuel pump to fill up a vehicle with gas and then drive it to two more gas stations to repeat the process. After filling up three times, you’ll earn credit for this quest. Just keep in mind that you must refuel three times within the same match — it’s not cumulative.

Slide 50 meters continuously (1)

Large hill in Fortnite.

To complete this quest, we advise visiting a tall mountain or hill. These are found all over the place, like at Rocky Reels or Condo Canyon. The area around Shifty Shafts works, too. Position yourself at the top of the hill or mountain, sprint, and then slide all the way down the slope, and after 50 meters, you’ll complete this quest. If you’re unsure about the distance, use a ping to give you a better idea of where the 50-meter mark is.

Throw a Boogie Bomb while at an IO outpost (1)

Keep your eyes peeled for a Boogie Bomb as you play and when you have one, visit an IO outpost, as indicated on the map above. Boogie Bombs spawn as floor loot and in chests. We recommend landing somewhere in the southern region of the map since there are three IO outposts relatively close to one another. After you have a Boogie Bomb, simply toss it within the outpost and you’ll earn credit for completing this quest.

Use a Junk Rift in Wreck Ravine or at Rocky Wreckage (1)

Wreck Ravine and Rocky Wreckage are marked on the map above. Land near either of these locations and play until you get your hands on a Junk Rift, which appears as floor loot and spawns in chests. After you find a Junk Rift, toss it while inside of either aforementioned location to earn credit for the final quest of the week.

How to damage opponents with the Lock On Pistol in Fortnite
The Lock On Pistol in Fortnite.

As part of a weekly challenge in Fortnite, players are tasked with dealing 200 damage with the Lock On Pistol. This challenge has caused some confusion, as acquiring the weapon isn't as consistent as players might have hoped. In this guide, we'll show you how to get your hands on the Lock On Pistol and how to deal 200 damage with it in Fortnite.
How to find the Lock On Pistol

First, you need to get your hands on the Lock On Pistol. Currently, the only known ways of finding one are by opening chests or collecting them from Supply Drops. The weapon isn't available from NPCs or any method just yet. This means you'll want to head to a high-traffic area like Mega City to find a bunch of chests. Keep in mind that Mega City will be busy, but there are plenty of chests available. If you want to play it safe, you can visit a different point of interest (POI). Keep opening chests until you get your hands on the Lock On Pistol.

How to survive storm phases carrying an Epic weapon in Fortnite
Character jumping while holding Epic weapon in Fortnite.

A new Fortnite challenge for surviving storm phases while carrying an Epic weapon has caused some confusion, as the quest's wording isn't exactly clear. Thankfully, the challenge is much easier than it seems, and once you know what to do, you can get through it relatively quickly. Here's how to survive storm phases while carrying an Epic weapon in Fortnite.
What is an Epic weapon?
Fortnite uses a rarity system with its weapons, which are denoted by colors. Purple weapons are Epic, but keep in mind you can utilize any weapon of higher rarity to complete this quest. As long as the weapon is at least Epic, you'll earn credit for surviving storm phases.
How to get an Epic weapon

There are several ways to get Epic weapons. One way is to simply find one from chests or as floor loot, but this isn't as reliable. You can also purchase Epic weapons from NPCs around the map. Nearly all main hubs have an NPC who sells weapons, so be sure to talk with them if you have the funds. Using an Upgrade Station is another solid option for collecting an Epic weapon, though it's expensive. Another option is to defeat the Highcard Boss found at Brutal Bastion, Shattered Slabs, and Mega City. Upon defeat, the Highcard Boss drops a Mythic Havoc Suppressed Rifle.

How to give specialist a command in Fortnite
Character interacting with NPC in Fortnite.

As part of Fortnite's Spring Breakout Daily Quests, players are tasked with giving a hired specialist character a command. Of course, the game doesn't specify how to do this exactly, leading to some confusion amongst the community. Thankfully, we've got everything you need to know about completing this new quest with ease in Fortnite.
How to hire a specialist

Specialist Characters are specific NPCs all around the map. If you pull up the quest itself, you'll actually see a map of all the Specialist Characters. Keep in mind that not all NPCs fall into this category, so be sure to look at the map. We like the one to the very north of Breakwater Bay as it's usually out of the way. Once you find them, you'll need to pay 200 Gold Bars to hire them. If you don't have the funds, be sure to play more and complete bounties as needed.
How to give a character a command
After you've hired the Specialist Character, they'll be on your side for the duration of the match. If you look at the top left side of the screen, you'll see an icon that represents the Follower Communications wheel. Press and hold left on the D-pad on console or the middle mouse button on PC to get this menu to appear. Once it does, you can pick from a list of commands such as wait or follow. To complete the quest, you simply need to issue one command and after the NPC does what you ask, you'll earn credit for completing it.
