This one is pretty self-explanatory, so be sure you’re on the lookout for a revolver as you gather supplies. It helps if you land at a spot with lots of different chests and items such as Tilted Towers, but pick whichever spot you’re most comfortable with. Once you get your hands on the revolver, make sure you engage with enemies from at least 30 meters. Keep in mind, you’ll deal around 30 damage with each shot from 30 meters away, so you’ll need to connect with four shots total. You can also complete this challenge by damaging NPCs who will just be standing around, so that’s a great method, as well.

Deal damage to opponents at Synapse Station or The Daily Bugle (75)

In terms of simplicity, it’s best to attempt this quest at The Daily Bugle since you’re more likely to run into enemy players. Land here and make it a priority to grab some decent weapons and loot right away. All you need to do is deal 75 damage, which can be done quickly. If you don’t manage to deal all 75 in one match, you can pick up where you left off in a separate game.

Emote within 10 meters of a character (1)

Once again, this is a challenge you can complete with an NPC instead of an actual player. To make it easy, simply visit one of the main hubs on the map where you’ll find an NPC. Then, get right in front of them and perform an emote to get credit for completing this quest.

Gain shields by consuming foragables (50)

This week’s quests are mostly straightforward, and this is yet another example of that. For this one, you need to consume enough foragables to replenish 50 shields, so visit any of the spots shown on the map above to complete the challenge quickly. Remember, foragables are foods like corn, peppers, and other fruits and vegetables.

Mod a vehicle with the cow catcher (1)

This is arguably the trickiest quest of the week since it requires a little luck, but if you’re thorough, you shouldn’t have too much trouble. You need to locate a red toolbox, which are often found inside buildings and even behind them, close to fences. Open a toolbox and it’ll contain a cow catcher, then take it to a vehicle and throw the cow catcher directly at it to complete this one. It’s best to just be on the lookout for red toolboxes as you play instead of making it a priority to find one because they tend to spawn randomly.

Search chests and ammo boxes at IO Outposts (3)

For this challenge, simply visit one of the spots marked on the map above to find a chest and or ammo box. You only need to open three total, and any combination of chests and ammo boxes will work for this quest. If you don’t manage to find three before the match is over, you can pick up where you left off in a new game.

Use an ascender at Chonker’s Speedway and Command Cavern (2)

Ascenders are essentially rappel points that zip you up and down. For this challenge, you must use one at Chonker’s Speedway and one at Command Cavern to complete the challenge. There are several different ascenders at each location, so use the maps above to see where they’re located. You do not need to use both in one match to complete the challenge.

The much-anticipated Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has finally arrived and it has brought with it an entirely new world for loopers to explore that is based on Japanese mythology and culture. From dense forests to Samurai arenas, you'll find tons of variety on the map that will alter your gameplay approach in every single match.

There's a lot to explore since Epic has changed things drastically in the game, given that it's an entirely new chapter rather than a seasonal release. So if you're looking for everything that's been added in this season, here are all the latest additions in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Demon Hunters.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 6, Season 2)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to the lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2, a new Crime-themed island has arrived with new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.
