Fortnite season 3 week 7 challenges: Where to collect stone at Rapid’s Rest

Fortnite‘s season 3 week 7 challenge for collecting stone in an area called Rapid’s Rest is sort of tricky because this location isn’t depicted on the map. You’ve probably scanned the entire map with a fine-tooth comb trying to find it, with no luck. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find Rapid’s Rest, how to complete the challenge, and what you get for finishing it.

Here’s how to complete Fortnite‘s season 3 week 7 challenge for gathering stone in Rapid’s Rest.

Where to find Rapid’s Rest

The hardest part about this challenge is simply finding the Rapid’s Rest location. Don’t you just hate when the game asks you to go to locations that aren’t labeled on the map? Not to worry, though — we’ll show you exactly where it is. To find it, head to the river to the east of Lazy Lake. Normally, landing right at Lazy Lake isn’t the best idea since it can be sort of busy there, but if you head to the river just east of the large structure, you should be safe. Use the image above for reference.

You’ll want to look for an area with large boulders that appear on the bank of the river. Across the way is a small building with some common loot inside. From our experience, we were able to gather all the stone we needed with no interruption from other players, but to be safe, make sure you scout the area a little beforehand.

How to complete the challenge

Once you’re there, all you need to do is gather 300 stone from the rocks and boulders in this area. For us, it took around five to six boulders to complete the challenge. Remember, you must gather stone only from this area for it to count. There’s plenty of stone for you to be able to gather 300 in one go, and it should only take a few minutes.

The other thing you might want to do if you aren’t comfortable is land somewhere else with better loot before going to Rapid’s Rest. It’s not necessary since this is a low-traffic area, but if someone else is also trying to complete the challenge at the same time, you might get caught off guard, especially if all you have is your pickaxe. There are some low-tier weapons nearby, though, so you should be okay. Either way, smash those rocks and you’ll be good to go. Hopefully, by the time you’re finished gathering stone, you’ll be able to make your way back to the fight without the circle closing in on you.

Rewards for completing challenge

As with most weekly challenges, you’ll get 35,000 XP for completing this one. It’s not a ton, but considering how simple the challenge is to complete, you shouldn’t ignore it. And with that, you’ll be ready to move on to some of the other challenges!

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.
