Fortnite’s Week 8 Challenges Introduce a Towering Stone Lady and New Vehicles

Fresh Battle Pass Challenges Now Available in Fortnite: Battle Royale

A new set of weekly challenges has landed in Fortnite: Battle Royale. You now have access to three challenges to earn Battle Stars, and if you have the premium Battle Pass, you get four additional challenges to complete.

The week eight challenges for season seven can be completed in any Battle Royale game mode, with the exception of Playground. This means that players can progress through the challenges even in Limited Time Modes with big teams, like Team Rumble, which offers fewer disruptions in some cases.

This week’s tasks involve building structures, dealing damage while on vehicles, and searching a mysterious area that will be revealed through a riddle. Additionally, most challenges simply require players to play the game and visit specific named locations to open chests and use items.

Take a look at the complete list of week eight challenges below. We’ve also included some tips and tricks to help you out.

Tips and Tricks

  • Any structure you build counts towards the first challenge. If you want to complete it quickly, play Limited Time Modes that have increased material harvesting rates to gather enough material rapidly.
  • Dealing damage while in the passenger seat of a vehicle might be challenging due to the decreased spawn rate of vehicles. However, you can still use X-4 Stormwing Planes, ATKs, Quadcrashers, and Shopping Carts to complete this challenge.
  • The explosive weapons available in all game modes are the Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, and Grenades. You can progress in this challenge by eliminating opponents who are down but not out.
  • The spot to search between the mysterious hatch, giant rock lady, and precarious flatbed is located east of Wailing Woods.
  • Use vehicles to quickly navigate the map and visit multiple areas in a single match.
