Fortnite season 4 week 14 challenge guide: Releasing Slurp into the atmosphere

Fortnite is back again with another set of challenges for you to complete, this time for XP Xtravaganza’s week 4. One challenge that might be causing some confusion requires you to release Slurp into the atmosphere. The wording is cryptic and doesn’t exactly tell you what you need to do in order to complete it. Not to worry, though, as we’ve got all the details on how to finish this challenge, including tips and tricks to make it as easy as possible for you.

Here’s how to release Slurp into the atmosphere in Fortnite.

Destroy a Slurp tower

In order to complete this challenge, you need to finish the following three tasks:

  • Destroy a Slurp tower
  • Destroy three Slurp barrels
  • Destroy a Slurp truck

You can complete them in any order, but they must all be done within the same match. We recommend heading to the northern area of Slurpy Swamp, where you’ll find a few Slurp towers. Destroy one of them with your pickaxe and you’ll gain progress toward completing the challenge. You can destroy it with any weapon, but using the pickaxe is pretty easy. Also, keep in mind, this can be completed in any game mode, though we advise going for it in a team-based mode so you can help your squad make progress toward finishing the challenge (or vice versa).

Destroy three Slurp barrels

Next, you need to head inside to destroy three Slurp barrels. You can find them to the south of the Slurp towers, just inside. There are several to choose from, so find a trio of barrels and use your pickaxe to destroy them. Again, you’ll see a completion bar fill after you’ve destroyed three. At this point, you’ll only need to do one more thing.

Destroy a Slurp truck

The final step is to destroy a Slurp truck. You can find one to the southeast of Slurpy Swamp on the road next to the main building. It’s parked on the street, so run up to it and do what you’ve done throughout the other steps. After you’ve destroyed it, you’ll gain credit for the final step, which will complete the challenge. You’ll earn 20,000 XP for doing so and you’ll now have full health and shields.

The video above shows the whole process from start to finish. It’s not a complicated challenge to finish, but it will take a little time, depending on your knowledge of the area. Though, if you reference the video, you can see an easy path to get to all three locations that include the objects you need for the challenge.

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.

The best weapons in Fortnite during Chapter 3, Season 4
New characters from Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2.

Surviving in Fortnite and securing a Victory Royale takes skill and luck. Getting better at Fortnite requires a knowledge of the playing field and a drive to outlast your opponents, but none of that matters if you aren't picking up the right weapons. Building a loadout that suits your playstyle and managing your inventory as the match progresses is key to snagging a win. You don't want to be caught in a long-range battle against someone on a mountaintop without a solid rifle on hand, and you certainly don't want to find yourself inside a close-quarters building without an SMG or shotgun.

Our guide to the best weapons in Fortnite breaks down rarity types and what they mean, the most effective arms in each weapon category, and tips for how to use them. Chapter 4, Season 2 brought a lengthy list of changes to the Fortnite arsenal -- including new weapons and the return of some fan favorites.

Fortnite Guardian Shield: locations and how to use
Guardian Shield in Fortnite.

In January, Epic Games introduced a handful of new changes, including the removal of many Christmas-themed items, and its first new item of 2023: the Guardian Shield, which adds another layer of strategy when used correctly. This new item is tied to a series of in-game challenges, incentivizing players to give it a try. But where can you find the Guardian Shield and how does it work?
Where to find the Guardian Shield

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to guarantee getting a Guardian Shield, as they appear as random drops from chests across the map. With that in mind, we suggest visiting high-traffic areas that contain lots of chests -- preferably spots with Oathbound Chests. These are the large white chests that contain rarer loot and can be found in main hubs that aren't covered in snow, such as The Citadel. Regular chests yield Guardian Shields, too, though. We had luck finding them at Lonely Labs, but other areas contain the Guardian Shield, as well. You can also pick one up from eliminated enemies.
