Fortnite challenge guide: Collect cat food

We’re now in week 3 of Fortnite season 7, and of course, it comes with lots of challenges for you to complete. Though, you might have some trouble this week, as all of the challenges require you to visit specific, unmarked locations on the map. You’ll need to collect certain items and even talk to NPCs around the map this week, and doing so can be tricky. One challenge in particular is for collecting cat food.

It sounds easy enough, but the game doesn’t exactly specify where to go. No need to worry, as we’ve got all the details on completing this challenge. Here’s how to collect cat food in Fortnite.

Where to find cat food

There are two main hubs that feature cat food in Fortnite: Dirty Docks and Retail Row. Each location features two cat food containers, with a total of four across both. To complete this challenge, you only need to find two, which eliminates the need to visit the other location. The map above shows the general location of each cat food container (thanks, Fortnite.gg). The thing is, you might run into other players when attempting this challenge, which could make things difficult.

With that in mind, we always recommend attempting most challenges in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you get eliminated early. And it’s best to try this with a squad so they can protect you as you search for cat food. Since these areas are tied to a challenge, it’s possible they’ll be busy, so you should come prepared. Try to land away from the cat food so you can grab a weapon and other gear ahead of time.

Below are the specific locations of each cat food container.

First, we’ll cover the two cat food locations at Dirty Docks. You can grab these in any order. The first is on the west side of the area with the container in the center of Dirty Docks. Look for it next to the blue container.

Next, head east a little bit while still remaining in the container area to find the next one close to a stack of boxes.

Retail Row

The last one is outside of the previous building on the north side, just next to the large door.

Once you’ve collected two of the four cat food containers, you’ll be finished with the challenge.

Can you fix the Fortnite servers not responding error?

The last thing you want to see when loading up Fortnite for a match with your friends, especially when a big new update is dropping, is to be hit with an error. The worst of which might be the "Fortnite servers not responding" error due to how vague it is. Most people don't know what servers are, let alone what it means when they aren't responding, except that you can't play your game. The question then becomes if you have any power to solve this issue yourself or if you're forced to wait until Epic Games addresses it on its end.
Can you fix the servers not responding error in Fortnite?

The first thing to do when encountering this error in Fortnite is to go straight to the Epic Games Help website or X account (formerly Twitter). This will let you know if it is something on Epic Games' end that is the issue and also keep you updated on the status of when the servers are expected to be fixed. Servers can also be taken down for maintenance or in preparation for major updates, which will also be accounted for here. If this is the case, there's nothing to do but wait until they announce the servers are back up and running.

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!
