Season 2, week 1 quest guide

Use the Repair Torch To Fix a Vehicle (200)

As you play, keep your eyes peeled for a repair torch, which can be found as floor loot or in toolboxes during season 2. After you’ve acquired one, make your way toward a vehicle, which are usually found in heavily populated areas around the map, such as Tilted Towers or Chonker’s Speedway. Then, shoot the vehicle a little to cause damage, and then use the repair tool to repair it. Make sure you repair 200 HP worth to complete this challenge.

Spend Bars (500)

Bars are acquired in a number of ways, including opening safes, defeating enemies, and completing bounties. After you’ve acquired some bars, visit NPCs around the map to buy items — preferably Exotic Weapons, which typically cost more. You don’t need to spend 500 gold bars in one go, but you’ll earn credit for this challenge much faster if you buy more-expensive items.

Search Chests on IO Airships (3)

Airships are now present on the Fortnite island as part of season 2. To complete this challenge, you need to search three chests on an airship, so make sure you land at one of these floating vessels right away. They can be found at Condo Canyon, Rocky Reels, The Daily Bugle, and Command Cavern, so make a beeline toward these spots to complete the challenge.

Mantle Onto a Ledge Within 3 Seconds of Sprinting (3)

New this season is the ability to mantle up onto ledges. To complete this challenge, you need to use the new tactical sprint ability and then mantle up onto a ledge three times. For best results, we recommend attempting this one with a building or man-made wall rather than a natural piece of land, as the mantling can be finicky. Jump up next to a surface and the game will give you the prompt to mantle.

Launch Yourself 150 Meters from a Siege Cannon (150)

Each of the aforementioned airships around the map feature a Siege Cannon, which can be used to fire projectiles — or even yourself. Approach the cannon and interact with it, then load yourself into the device before launching yourself into the air. You need to cover a distance of at least 150 meters, which should be easy as long as you arc your shot.

Deal Damage to IO Forces (500)

You’ll find IO Forces at the airships around the map. What you need to do is land on one and then enter it, where you’ll find multiple IO Forces. To complete this challenge, you must deal 500 HP worth of damage, so make sure you collect decent weapons and enough shields beforehand so you’re prepared.

Collect a Drum Shotgun and a Combat SMG in a Single Match (2)

This one is a bit luck-based, but if you explore and loot thoroughly, you should be able to complete the challenge with ease. We recommend landing at a busy area like Tilted Towers to begin your search. Make sure you loot every chest you find, and you’ll eventually stumble upon the Drum Shotgun and Combat SMG. These must be collected within the same match.

All companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 and how to get them
Wyll with horns dancing.

There's a lot to see in Baldur's Gate 3, but you're not going to get far without a few good companions by your side. Thankfully, you'll stumble upon a wide assortment of NPCs that'd love nothing more than to accompany you on your journey. These friendly faces fill several different roles -- from mages and healers to archers and warriors, there's bound to be a companion that augments your playstyle.

Many of these companions also come with their own series of quests and unlockable skills, turning them into more than just faceless characters to help you in combat. In fact, you can spend hours unraveling their narratives, and depending on your actions, your companions might look very different at the end of Baldur's Gate 3 than when you first met them.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite
Characters fishing in LEGO Fortnite.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.

Building up your character and being a team player is critical in Helldivers 2.
