Season 6, week 7 challenge list

As usual, we advise taking a look at the challenge list prior to jumping in and playing. It’s good to have an idea of what you need to do before you hop into a match. The full list of new challenges is as follows:

  • Makeshift weapon elimination (1)
  • Primal weapon elimination (1)
  • Mechanical weapon elimination (1)
  • Mark weapons of different rarity (1)
  • Collect meat or peppers (5)
  • Consume foraged items (3)
  • Hunt raptors (2)

The challenges for this week are mostly self-explanatory, with no hidden collectible requirements or necessity to visit unnamed areas on the map. If you’re new to the game, you might stumble with the weapon eliminations, but we’ll have more on completing those challenges below. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the game’s crafting mechanics, which we have more information on in our guide here.

Aside from that, you should be consuming foraged items, marking weapons, and fending off raptors naturally as you play. Nonetheless, here are some guides for this week’s harder challenges.

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!
