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.

Can you fix the Fortnite servers not responding error?

The last thing you want to see when loading upĀ 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!
