Season 3, week 2 quest guide

Boost Into a Runaway Boulder and Dislodge it With a Baller (1)

Kicking things off is a tricky one, but we’ve got an easy method for completing it. First, head to Rave Cave and grab a Baller from the inside of the bear’s head. Then, you’ll want to roll over to the nearest Runaway Boulder indicated by the red circle on the map above. It’s a massive rock sitting atop a hill. Once you get there, latch onto it with the grapple, and then use your boost to ram into it. The boulder will then fall, and you’ll earn credit for completing the quest.

Eliminate Enemy Players with Ranged Weapons of Epic Rarity or Better (2)

This is one that might take a little luck to complete since it’s dependent on the weapon rarity you come across. If you utilize the Reality Sapling to grow your own items, you’re bound to come across a weapon of Epic rarity or higher. Otherwise, you’ll want to just loot as much as possible to come across a ranged weapon. These are weapons like snipers, assault rifles, and the new DMR. After you have your hands on one, you need to eliminate two players with it, which shouldn’t be too difficult, especially if you coordinate with a team.

Enter the Wind Tunnel in a Baller at The Screwballer (1)

For this challenge, you’ll need to land at Rave Cave — specifically, aiming toward the inside the bear’s head, where you’ll find a Baller. These are spherical vehicles that can be used to zip around and onto the Screwballer roller coaster. Once you’ve found one, drop off the west side and you’ll see a yellow wind tunnel that you can zip up to while inside the Baller.

Headshot Opponents with the Two-Shot Shotgun (5)

For this one, you’ll want to land at a spot with lots of loot, such as Tilted Towers or The Daily Bugle, to find the Two-Shot Shotgun. Now, you can certainly earn credit for this one by dealing damage to real players, but some users have reported a bug with this particular quest that fails to track progress, even if you land a shot point-blank to the head. This will likely get patched, but if you’re having trouble landing your shots on real players or if you don’t get credit, we recommend trying another method. You can actually earn progress by performing headshots on wolves, making it much easier. You can find wolves all around The Daily Bugle, as shown on the map above. This one is cumulative as well, meaning you don’t have to earn all five shots in one match.

Launch Into the Air Using Geysers (3)

Geysers are new this season, and as you’d expect, they can be used to launch yourself into the air. You’ll find plenty of them along the western side of the map, so land there and use three Geysers to complete this challenge. Simply walk over them while they’re erupting to launch yourself into the air.

Pick Weeds Around Reality Saplings (5)

This one will come naturally if you’ve been utilizing the Reality Sapling feature, which was added alongside season 3. To get you up to speed, you need to collect Reality Seeds from Reality Falls, and then plant the Seed to sprout a tree. This will turn into a Reality Tree that bears various items, but you have to wait until a few matches have passed to collect the loot. As the tree grows, you’ll need to pick the weeds around it, maintaining the tree across various matches. Pick five weeds and you’ll complete this challenge. It’s best to plant the Reality Sapling in a distant area so you’re less likely to encounter enemy players.

Swing 50 Meters or More with the Grapple Glove Without Touching the Ground (10)

Grapple Gloves have been added to Fortnite, and they work almost exactly like the Spider-Man Web-Shooters from earlier in chapter 3. You can find Grapple Gloves at the locations marked on the map above (thanks, Fortnite.gg). Each spot on the map above indicates a Grapple Station, which contains toolboxes with Grapple Gloves in them. You can only have one set of Grapple Gloves on at any given time, but once you acquire them, you’ll be able to swing around. For this one, we recommend heading to an area with lots of trees or buildings before starting to swing. As long as you cover 50 meters without touching the ground, you’ll earn credit for this quest.

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.
