How to Complete Fortnite Season 5 Week 8 Challenges
There are eight total challenges to complete in Fortnite Season 5 Week 8.
- Blow up a gas pump
- Collect 500 gold bars
- Deal 250 pistol damage
- Deliver a truck to Sunflower Farm
- Destroy three apple or tomato boxes at the Orchards Farmers Market
- Drive a car through the cornfield at Steel Farm
- Travel 3,500 feet while gliding
- Eat between 10 and 50 fish
There are seven epic quests that will land you 20,000 XP each. The most straightforward challenge is to deal 250 pistol damage. Pistols are among the most common weapons in Fortnite and can reach powerful levels. Traveling 3,500 feet while gliding can be easily accomplished while jumping out of the Battle Bus or gliding across the map during a match.
Several challenges in Fortnite Season 5 Week 8 carry a farming theme. Orchards Farmers Market and Steel Farm are near one another, so the player can land at the farmers market before heading to the farm. Three tomato or apple boxes must be destroyed at Orchards Farmers Market, while a car must be driven through the cornfield at Steel Farm. A truck must then be delivered to Sunflower Farm to round out these barnyard challenges.
Another challenge in Fortnite Season 5 Week 8 tasks the player with finding 500 gold bars. Gold bars are rare but can be found in safes, tills, and washing machines. Players are also tasked with blowing up a gas pump. This is achieved by finding a gas station and shooting at a pump until it explodes.
Fortnite Season 5 Week 8's Legendary quest asks the player to catch and eat fish. Fish can be caught with a rod, harpoon gun, or explosives before being eaten. This challenge requires the player to eat at least ten fish and grants more XP for each additional ten fish eaten. After 50 fish are eaten, a maximum of 55,000 XP will be rewarded.
Fortnite Season 5 Week 8 challenges are expected to go live on Thursday and expire on Jan. 28.
